From animated adventures that curate to all ages to epic sci-fi movies that shape pop culture and terrifying horror movies that terrify the bravest of people, some movies stand out not just for their stories, but also for how they change and redefine their genres. These movies set new standards, influence generations of filmmakers, and change the way audiences perceive certain genres of cinema.
Toy Story changed the animation industry in so many ways. First, it was Pixar's first feature movie and its success led to stipulating Pixar's emotion-filled storylines and narratives as the standard in the genre. But most importantly, Toy Story was the first ever 3D animated movie. Its release marked the departure from hand-drawn 2D animations and the embrace of computer-generated imagery in animated movies.
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring changed the fantasy genre forever. Before the movie, the fantasy genre was a niche genre. However, The Fellowship of the Ring popularized the genre and attracted the public to it. It turned fantasy from a niche genre to a genre filled with blockbusters. Moreover, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring established the genre as a serious genre with its nominations for 13 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and winning four of them.
Psycho introduced realism to horror. Before Psycho, horror usually steamed from supernatural factors or supernatural monsters. However, in Psycho, the horror steams from the human killer lurking in the shadows of the motel. Moreover, Psycho introduced the subgenre of psychological horror, as it focuses on the psychological aspects of its villains. Additionally, Psycho broke taboos of sexuality and graphic violence in movies. Psycho is also credited for creating the slasher subgenre.
The Godfather transformed the crime and gangster genres by humanizing organized criminals by presenting their own codes of ethics, motivations, and familial ties, departing from the one-dimensional treatment characters used to get in the genre. Moreover, The Godfather focused on the development of the Corleone family and its members, offering a more rich and character-driven narrative rather than the chaotic, action-driven narratives that dominated the genre before The Godfather.
