Would this be changed for the good or changed for the bad? There could very well two separate lists.
The article I saw on this has this quote...
"As the perfect warm-up for this year’s Academy Awards®, the list is full of surprises. Why does an 80’s teen comedy make the cut? Which movie killed the studio system? Which movie was so shocking in its day, it launched a wave of protests and eventually led to the film ratings system? Which movie tops the line-up? "
So it's looks like it's not always positive. There may even be movies that could be looked at both way. Personally I think Star Wars has to be on this list. One of the things it changed was a shift away from more serious movies of the early 70's to big budget, effects heavy, escapist type movies. Some people saw that as a good thing, but I bet others did not.
You did pretty good, here is the list from the special:
15 - Toy Story
14 - Sixteen Candles
13 - A Hard Days Night
12 - Jaws
11 - Lilies of the Field
10 - Godfather Part 2
9 - I'm no Angel
8 - Easy Rider
7 - Birth of a Nation
6 - A Streetcar Names Desire
5 - 2001
4 - Psycho
3 - Snow White
2 - Gone with the Wind
1 - Star Wars
It's funny when they started the introduciton for Toy Story the first clip they showed was of Frozen. I though to myself, "If Frozen is on this list I am turning it off right now!"

Kinda odd they didn't put Mary Poppins or Roger Rabbit.
