What's the most important movie of all time?

You know, I don't mean best movie of all time or the most beloved movie of all time, I mean a movie that had a really big effect on the whole planet when it was released and the effect remained even after it's release. I am guessing it's the original Star Wars. But what do you think?

Edit: Please tell your reason too. ( if you think it's needed.)

Probably the Star Wars and LOTR series.

I am beginning to like you. :P

the original King King or the Wizard of Oz

I guess Star Wars, because it's a huge franchise that makes the films still relevant today due to the fact that they are still pumping out new products.

It's probably Citizen Kane. At least the American Film Institute thinks so.Engrish_Major

[QUOTE="spazzx625"][QUOTE="Legendaryscmt"] I disagree. "Talkies" were bound to come along anyway, being the first isn't necessarily of import. Same goes for the first motion picture flim (The Passion Play of Oberammergau). In fact, how many people have even heard of that movie?Engrish_Major

Ace Ventura: Pet DetectiveTHE_DRUGGIE

Citizen Kane, of course.

I can't be bothered to get into an argument about it, though, because I'll be too busy driving my automobile down to the barber's to get my mustache trimmed as I inspect my new top hat with my monocle.

What part of this movie is important? haven't even heard about it. ( of course if you were serious.)herzalot

Gone With the Wind, actually. spazzx625

Lilo and stitch.

Along with Citizen Kane, I think Birth of a Nation is usually right up there too...

[QUOTE="spazzx625"][QUOTE="super_mario_128"] Probably this, actually, though I haven't seen it yet.super_mario_128

I have never heard of that before.

Intermissions on a DVD version of a movie? :?

I have never heard of that before.

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"][QUOTE="spazzx625"] As far as movies go it's quite long (4 hours) so you really have to hunker down and plan to watch it...At least they put in an intermission :?Teenaged

I have never heard of that before.

[QUOTE="Teenaged"]

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"] I find it odd that DVDs do that, though I suppose it does enhance the epic feel.super_mario_128

I have never heard of that before.

Its on the DVD that I find weird.

:P That's what I meant about "super incredibly well done." I had to do an essay on its merits as a film in my art direction class in college, and that's what it all boils down to. Lockedge

So your whole essay just consisted of the words "It's super incredibly well done"? :P

[QUOTE="super_mario_128"] I believe Barry Lyndon had an intermission, and Lawrence of Arabia also. I've only ever experienced it once at the cinema though (Fellowship of The Ring). super_mario_128

Dark Knight of course

Well it was certainly better than one of my peer's essays, who only stated it was moderately well done, but would have been better in colour and if it had a better ending. XD Lockedge

"All in all, I believe that Citizen Kane was a decent movie, but would've lived up to it's incredible potential and high-reaching concept better if it had more Jason Statham, explosions, and Megan Fox"

Star Wars and the first X-Men Movie, because it showed that superhero movies can be good. the first of its kind i believe, but correct me if im wrong.

i dont see how the LOTR films are that important, magnificent as they are.

jpph

Superman and Batman were made decades before X-Men and they were great movies.

It's probably Citizen Kane. At least the American Film Institute thinks so.Engrish_Major

Probably Star Wars, because it revolutionized how movies are made.
