100 Movies That Shook the World The 100 Movies That Shook the World isn't really a genre list, so I set up an Others category because it certainly deserves a mention. It was compiled by Premiere magazine and details what they called "Rebel Cinema", movies created by innovative filmmakers that did things that had not been done before. I can't link to it directly because it only appeared in print, in their October 1998 issue, so I've linked instead to the page dedicated to it at Tim Dirks's FilmSite (filmsite.org).
