I get a feeling sometimes when I finish a book or a movie or a comic book or any piece of media. It's hard to describe but I know it when it happens and it's when I think a piece of media has truly captured some part of the human experience. It's a great feeling, and what I think all art should aspire towards. When I get it I add the media that did it to this list.These are in no particular order
