I'd argue only two or threehave had any real lasting cultural significance

Godfather and Wizard of Oz. I'm not a Star wars guy but guess that would be the third. I could argue for Jaws as a fourth because it kind of ushered in a new thriller type and it was the preeminent director's of our times first film. some of the others are good or excellent films but not a sh*t-ton of importance IMO .
