These are important movies released since 1930 which had a profound emotional impact on audiences, the movie industry and the business of cinema. Some were surprise audience hits, some were eagerly anticipated but all were great movies that changed how we looked at the world, ourselves and our visions of the future. These movies expressed our deepest feelings of hope and fear, of tears and laughter and, most of all, our shared need to connect with others, making movies both a personal and a universal experience.
