This is a double question. What do you think is the most influential movie in terms of influencing the times around it, or movie-making in general? And then, what is the movie that had the biggest impact on your life in some way?

As for movie-making, I think Citizen Kane is in a class by itself. Orson Welles devised so many new ways of creating this movie that have appeared in almost every film made since.

As for me personally, it was easily A Hard Day's Night. I was four years old when taken to see this at the theater, and I will NEVER forget the experience. The theater was packed with screaming girls and you couldn't really hear the dialogue. What I remember most was watching how playful The Beatles were, and how utterly cool they were while being chased around everywhere. Long hair. Cool clothes. Musical instruments. Wow. That movie set the course for my life.
