i never heard anyone say that - ever ..
but i do know how a movie can change the way you look at other films.
if until DD your standard fare was run of the mill paint by numbers teen flicks ..then Donnie Darko would be extremely fresh and inspirational.
for the most part i only had exposure to mainstream films my whole life - until i came to Toronto and saw Jesus of Montreal at an art house cinema.
i was seeing something totally new for the 1st time ever and it blew my mind.
i had no ideas movies could make you think and entertain you at the same time until that point.
so yeah - i understand how a single film can be extremely important to people - especially if you consider what their history with film might have been until that point.
