== [[Film]] ==
* Asked by one of the characters in ''[[Oldboy]]'' ''to himself'': "Now, what joy will I have to live for?"
* ''[[I Heart Huckabees]]'': "How am I not myself?" Notable in that it is an Armor-Piercing Question to the person who asked it in the first place, completely unintentionally unhinging his ''entire life''.
* ''[[American History X]]'': "Has anything you've done made your life better?"
* ''[[Star Trek V: The Final Frontier|Star Trek V the Final Frontier]]'': "What does God need with a starship?"
** ''[[Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home|Star Trek IV the Voyage Home]]'': "How do you feel?.....How do you feel?.....How do you feel?"
*** Leads to later [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]], "Tell mother....I feel fine."
** [[Star Trek (film)|The 2009 reboot]] gives us the Armor Shattering Question: "What's it like not to feel love or heartbreak? Or the limitless need to avenge the death of the woman who gave birth to you?"
