So this started from a conversation with @Afro_Vacancy where he brought up the film Gattaca as an essential watch for people who go on this forum.

I'll edit this post to include suggestions that seem to have some reasoning behind them or appear popular (even if I don't agree).
So what are we looking for in an Impact Section Film list?
For me it somewhat relates to a lot of the discussions we have on here, not only in regards to baldness, but generally our attitudes or reactions to ugliness and beauty, and how we, or society as a whole views it, as well as other topics that are circumstantial and still result in respect and admiration from society- but nobody gives a f***, they just admire it.
This could also branch out into further reasons such as subculture ideals that aren't exactly mainstream approved, but are in major feature films, which have elements that tap into our general psyche.
I'll kick it off with:
Gattaca
In treating and maintaining hair I often get a feeling of uncertainty as to who I am, and what that question even means. Am I destined to be the bald me? Should I accept that? And if I don't accept it, where does that thought end?
This is a film that deals with eugenics and the extent to what human beings have the "right" to "correct" themselves, and whether they should have that right, and if they're allowed it at all, why aren't they allowed to take it to extremes?
I can't really think of a more appropriate HairLossTalk.com/Impact Section film, for me that's right up there.
