Movies that have changed socio-political stances of movies to come
An opinion poll.
Taxi Driver- utter brilliance. I believe it to be the first of its kind to feature a blue-collar loner genius who gets pushed over the edge by the eff-ed up-ed-ness (new word?) of the NYC underbelly.
Pump Up the Volume- I enjoyed this movie as a teenager and will still watch it from time-to-time. Sewn together by influences by Rebel Without a Cause as well as a dable of Holden Caulfield, I believe it to be the first of its kind to feature a lonely teenage malcontent, leading a double life and reaching out to other teenager who are sick of it all.
Besides, it has the first kick-ass soundtrack I had ever heard.
