Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?

Has All the President's Men been mentioned?

Wizard of Oz
Early animation - Snow White?
Birth of a Nation
Grapes of Wrath
A Streetcar Named Desire

Not an influential piece, but something interesting on a media level is Shattered Glass.

Birth of a Nation is a classic in that it was techonologically ground breaking, although the content is odius. I was shown this in a couple of college courses for different purposes.

Aguirre, the Wrath of God and The Seven Samarai are huge classics by foreigners.

Downfall, of course.

Great list...except for Ghost World. I'm going to have to quibble with that one.

You've got to LOVE insight like that into every scene.
