Is there a word for the feeling you get after going to the movies?

Let me elaborate.





Is there a word in the English Language that describes the feelings you achieve after watching a movie?





Like, if you go into a spy movie you feel like becoming a spy, treading around corners, etc.





If you have just watched a martial arts movie you really feel like becoming a karate master. Watching Rocky makes you want to box somebody.





Watching a dancing movie really wants to make you dance.





Anyone know the feeling I am talking about?

Is there a word for the feeling you get after going to the movies?
I think the word you're looking for is "visceral." As in: watching a movie can have a visceral effect on you. It means to be influenced in a subtle, subconscious way, where your thoughts and ideas and emotions are influenced without you making an effort to do so.
