I need to pick a movie that's had a large cultural impact... 6-8 page paper

Any documentary should do, such as: Super Size Me, Bowling For Columbine, Religulous, An Inconvenient Truth, Sicko - but if you want to get more abstract try:The Pianist, Se7en, Forrest Gump, Requiem for a Dream, or yeah American History X.

Yo I loved that movie
 
listen to me now, Apocalypse Now will give you tons to write about

Apocalypse Now

In Diana Jones and the Temple of Poon. JK

Like everyone on this board said Crash would probably be the best one to do.

Here's also a few that can be good.

- Blow
- American History X
- Requiem for a Dream
- City of God
- Clockwork Orange
- Havoc
- Higher Learning
- KIDS
- Fight Club
- Trainspotting
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
