That would be "Lilies Of The Field", at least as socially ground breaking as any and two of the best performances, by Poitier and Skala I can recall.
I've seen "2001" twice, the premier on Acid, second years later on nothing and was mystified it got made both times.
"Birth Of A Nation" was shown as groundbreaking (well, duh, it was one of the first) by cinema snobs on every '60s college campus. At mine, it was double-billed with "Reefer Madness" as two of a kind.
Two great memory jogs from among the 77 I've seen from the list were:
"The Apartment". Been too long since I've seen this masterpiece.
"It Happened One Night"; pushed mores of the time with a thoroughly enjoyable comedy touch.
And that makes me wonder how "Carnal Knowledge" is missing.
