Pan's Labyrinth made movies harder to watch. I've never seen a film that so thoroughly captured every aspect of filmmaking in a way that was so personally impactful. It hypnotizes me to this day.

As for games? Planescape: Torment is the type of game I can only play about half an hour at a time at the risk of getting overwhelmed by emotion.

When an episode of Survivor is really emotionally or intellectually satisfying I sometimes have to walk away and process it before engaging in my usual ritual of writing/blogging/podcasting about it.
