10 Movies That Changed The World Forever

8. The Battle of Algiers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wd5Pz8KJeU4 The Battle of Algiers is without question one of the best films ever made. Chronicling the Algerian War of Independence of the 1950s, the film is a thorny moral thicket which depicts countless scenes of Algerian revolutionaries bombing Parisian civilians, causing viewers to consider where the line between revolution and terrorism truly lies. The film's social relevance notwithstanding, many claim that the film is something of a blueprint on how to revolt against an authority - it's been rumoured for years that the Black Panthers and the IRA both made use of its tactics. So pervasive is this sentiment that the Pentagon even screened the film to their staff in 2003 to teach them about how to combat embedded domestic terrorism on the home-front.
