1. The Lord Of The Rings trilogy (2001-03)- New Line Cinema risked it all by entrusting low-profile New Zealander Peter Jackson with the audacious task of spinning Tolkien’s dense literary fantasy into cinema gold.The result: 17 Oscars, a box-office gross of $3 billion worldwide and the birth of two superstars — one virtual (Gollum) and one pointy-eared (Orlando Bloom).
2.Toy Story (1995) :Pixar pioneers Buzz and Woody took the feature-animation genre that Disney created with 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and blasted it into the digital future with a cutting-edge combo of heartfelt wit and computerized wonder.
3.Pulp Fiction(1994) : B-movie fanatic Quentin Tarantino crammed guns, drugs, molls and a killer John Travolta into a post-mod Molotov cocktail of a plot while slicing the action into shuffled fragments. And writers are still ripping off his narrative.
4.Do the Right Thing(1989) : Spike Lee earned the title of America’s most influential black filmmaker when he did the controversial thing, focusing on urban violence born of simmering racial tensions.The film was feared to be incendiary enough to ignite a real riot.
5.Titanic(1997) : It loomed as a titanic disaster, with delays and a budget that bloated to $200 million. Luckily, audiences were enraptured by the steamy romance between Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, whose presence led to repeat viewings by teens.
I guess you could say this if you said "top 5 films with the greatest impacts in the last 20 years" but what about Jaws, The Exorcist(the first blockbusters ever), Godfather(1&2), STAR WARS???? Gone with the Wind??? I think your list falls quite flat!
