I don't know about " all time" or whatever but it's pretty important for American pop culture of the last 30 years, a very strong influence on pretty much the entire procedural genre as well as the X-files. Perhaps more influential in TV than in film but even in film, Demme's visual language and use closeups is an explicitly stated reference point for many directors that followed. And that's all without even getting intonthenthr intentional ripoffs, riffs and parodies. So in reference to your own question...have you?

I have watched movies with actual artistic value instead of your pop culture and tv shows, but I guess to me movies are art and to you entertaining which is ok :)

Jonathan Demme's Silence of the Lambs is certainly a work of art. Good luck with the rest of sophomore year. I'm sure high school is weird in the pandemic.

I’m pretty sure movies are weird when you have no culture

yes and I even like it, but it’s so far from being innovative or in any way having any artistic value; only a value for pop culture.

I’d call it both innovative and containing artistic value. It’s ok that you disagree since these things are completely subjective to the point they have little meaning.

its not subjective the fact that there was already a genre for that kind of movies, and that it hasn’t changed the way movies are perceived or made in any way, since the movie itself is full of references.
