There are many movies considered classics, but only a few that can be considered so ground-breaking that it changes how the movie industry operates and influences the next entire era of filmmaking. The 1967 crime drama, Bonnie and Clyde is without a doubt one of those movies as it ushered in the New Wave of cinema of the 1970s and brought things like the antihero to the forefront.
