What movies, TV shows, or books, defined you?

Along with your answers, state your approximate generation. GenZ, Millennial, GenX, Boomer, older, etc.

Older Millennial.

Naussica of the Valley of the Wind. It was my first ever encounter with science fiction. I was maybe 4 or 5 years old. I was enraptured

Babylon 5. I grew up with Star Trek, and Star Wars, and they were ok. B5's long overarching plot and character development blew me away. G'Kar was always my favorite.

The Wheel of Time. I found the books in the midst of a lot of teenage turmoil and mental health crisis in the late 90's. I took several key traits among my favorite characters and internalized them. Rand's refusal to hurt women, Perrin's methodical approach and integrity, Egwene's grit and work ethic, etc. It helped me consciously and intentionally form the rough basis for my values.

Didn't read the other two but Babylon 5 is a solid choice.

Still gives me chills

“No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever. There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom. Against that power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand. The Centauri learned this lesson once, we will teach it to them again. Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.” - G'Kar

Same. I think I need to rewatch the series soon, it's been too long.
