The Wizard of Oz is the most influential film of all time, followed by Star Wars, Psycho and King Kong, according to a study.
一項研究顯示,《綠野仙蹤》是史上最具影響力的電影,其次是《星際大戰》、《驚魂記》及《金剛》。
Researchers at the University of Turin in Italy calculated an influence score for 47,000 films listed in the internet movie database (IMDb). The results showed that the top 20 most influential films were all produced before 1980, mostly in the US.
義大利都靈大學研究人員計算4萬7000部電影的影響力評分,這些作品列於網路電影資料庫(IMDb)。結果顯示,最具影響力的20部電影,都是在1980年前製作,主要集中在美國。
The Wizard of Oz, starring Judy Garland and premiered in 1939, topped the list. It has been referenced in almost 3000 other movies, including its iconic songs like Over The Rainbow, and its most famous line ’I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.’

Applying the same algorithm to actors, it found that Samuel Jackson, Clint Eastwood and Tom Cruise, Arnold Schwarzenegger and John Wayne made up the top five.
