List: Top 3 Culturally Significant Movies

This week on Episode 261 of the InSession Film Podcast, inspired by Black Panther, we discussed our top 3 culturally significant movies. This list could go in a number of directions depending on your criteria determining culture and significance, and the variations in our lists very much reflected that. There are tons of films that have impacted culture over the years, so it was a challenge to narrow it down and focus on the films that resonated with us the most, especially since many of the films that define American culture are among our all-time favorites. On that note, what movies would make your list? Here are the one’s that made ours:
