re: What movie do you feel had the most impact on society?

I suspect that all the movies that deal with human reactions to unusual situations can shape the thoughts or future behaviour of people, at least to some extent.
My parents talked about Charlie Chaplin and the â€œModern timesâ€ as very funny.
I think that they found more in it than just entertainment.

I had not seen the movie until I found it on you tube.
The story is described on wikipedia.
