Morlock 11 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 It certainly was influential. Most probably helped a lot of horror-type films get the green-light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,326 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 But it's not top 10 material. It's too young. It hasn't been long enough around to have influenced a lot of movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSM 126 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Indiana Jones has also inspired a lot of movies...And regarding to film music, Jaws was avant garde writing of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 But it's not top 10 material. It's too young. It hasn't been long enough around to have influenced a lot of movies. I know, I didn't put it on any list. But it was influential within the genre, or the perception of the genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock 11 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I'll take their word for it. Morlock- who thinks that the effects from CE3K are far more believable and impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 796 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Share Posted December 4, 2007 Star Wars is the most influential film of the last 50 years, but when I get there I will give my reasons for believing it is so. And those reasons do not merely focus on the effects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Actually, no. They're far more the symptom there than ever before.Those weren't made in the last 50 years.You have a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 796 Posted February 13, 2012 Author Share Posted February 13, 2012 A little late, but I still needed to finish this:# 6 - DIE HARD (1988)Why influential? The concept of a guy having to go solo to fight a bunch of terrorists has become the basic plotline of countless action films after it. Die Hard was not the first film to play with this idea. It did however make it extremely popular and elements have been directly copied, from succesful big budget films (Air Force One) to crap (The Marine 2).# 5 - THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991)Why influential? The film that made fictional serial killers cool and intriguing to this day. Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer was a marvelous film as well, but it didn't reach the audiences Jonathan Demme's film reached. It's impact has been huge.
