The Exorcist and Rosemary's Baby triggered the Satanic Panic and revived belief in demons in the USA.

Jaws
>It is still seen as responsible for perpetuating negative stereotypes about sharks and their behavior,[238] and for producing the so-called "Jaws effect", which allegedly inspired "legions of fishermen [who] piled into boats and killed thousands of the ocean predators in shark-fishing tournaments."[239] >Benchley would later campaign to stop the depopulation of sharks, saying that "Jaws was entirely a fiction".[240] >Spielberg later echoed this sentiment, saying that he regretted "the decimation of the shark population because of the book and the film".[241][240] >Conservation groups have bemoaned the fact that the film has made it considerably harder to convince the public that sharks should be protected.[242]

Not historically monumental but this film had some influence on US society
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_a_Fugitive_from_a_Chain_Gang
>The film is among the first examples of cinema used to garner sympathy for imprisoned convicts without divulging the actual crimes of the convicts. American audiences began to question the legitimacy of the U.S. legal system,[19] and in January 1933, the film's protagonist Robert Elliott Burns, who was still imprisoned in New Jersey, and several other chain gang prisoners nationwide in the U.S., were able to appeal and were released.[20]

Wasn't the second triple k ultimately the enabler of the great migration since they barred european catholics with entry quotas and those jobs still had to be filled?

actually the Satanic Panic was the result of satanist jews infiltrating the US government.
Everyone knew on some level there was something deeply wrong but they couldnt identify who exactly was wearing the skinsuit, it was the usual suspects.

There are over 200 shark attacks annually. Sharks are superpredators of the sea, tracking their attacks is done very autistically which suppresses the actual number.
shark teeth have been found embedded into a recently dead body and it doesnt qualify as a shark attack, only visual confirmation of the shark in the act can be considered a shark attack.

Joseph Goebbels fucking loved Battleship Potemkin despite it being a commie movie, and his faith in life altering power of cinema somewhat steered Nazi Germany's propaganda efforts.
