Every generation or so there comes a movie so
unique, so groundbreaking that it becomes iconic in its own time, for that era.
Some are without question simply that, while others can be and have been
debated for its status as one of these iconic films. Some samples of those that
can be without question in regards to it uniqueness and its effect in society
for its time in my opinion include: the original Star Wars trilogy, the
Indiana Jones movies (well not so much the last one),The Godfather, The
Ten Commandments, Jaws, The Shawshank Redemption, Casablanca,
Roots, The Matrix, Dark City, E.T., The Lord of
the Rings Trilogy, and Saving Private Ryan, to name a few.
Others which I think were decent movies for their
time but not nearly as ground breaking (but which I'll mention because if I
didn't I could possibly get heat lol) might include: Terminator 2: Judgment
Day, The Green Mile, Fantasia, Titanic, The Blair
Witch Project, etc. Each of these ones did have a impact for its time. Big
enough to be considered iconic? Well, that’s debatable.
