I came in here with other ideas, but I can't give a better answer than the first reply: Requiem for a Dream.

easy to mention the ones that cover big events ... Schindler's List ... SPR ... or big, classic films like 2001 ... one that is a bit understated that had a fairly big effect would be Stand by Me ...

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner an excellent commentary not only on race relations, but also on the relationship between children and parents. Sidney Portier and his father have an exchange in that movie that profoundly changed the way I think and profoundly changed my relationship with an equally overbearing parent.

John: You listen to me. You say you don't want to tell me how to live my life. So what do you think you've been doing? You tell me what rights I've got or haven't got, and what I owe to you for what you've done for me. Let me tell you something. I owe you nothing! If you carried that bag a million miles, you did what you're supposed to do! Because you brought me into this world. And from that day you owed me everything you could ever do for me like I will owe my son if I ever have another. But you don't own me! You can't tell me when or where I'm out of line, or try to get me to live my life according to your rules. You don't even know what I am, Dad, you don't know who I am. You don't know how I feel, what I think. And if I tried to explain it the rest of your life you will never understand. You are 30 years older than I am. You and your whole lousy generation believes the way it was for you is the way it's got to be. And not until your whole generation has lain down and died will the dead weight of you be off our backs! You understand, you've got to get off my back! Dad... Dad, you're my father. I'm your son. I love you. I always have and I always will. But you think of yourself as a colored man. I think of myself as a man. Now, I've got a decision to make, hm? And I've got to make it alone, and I gotta make it in a hurry. So would you go out there and see after my mother?

The last line in Stand By Me where Richard Dreyfuss says you never have friends like the ones you had when you were 12 has more meaning as I get older. Its really great.

For me, Shawshank Redemption.
To me is expresses:
- Everyone is one unfortunate step away from a huge dose of humility;
- Sometimes, you can't (immediately) fight your way out of a problem, like when Andy went to jail. He knew he was innocent and he knew he would get out, but he had to eat a proverbial "shite sandwich" until he had the opportunity to get out.
- "Get busy living. Or get busy dying. That's goddamned right."
