Don’t you love lists? I sure do and it’s obvious that the folks over at TCM love them too since they decided to offer us a list of the 15 most influential movies ever – films that changed cinema and the world with it. So start sending emails to renting companies, because you certainly missed at least a few of these titles (I know I did!)
