The Blair witch project. Budget of fuck all. Pretty crap film. Used the internet as a marketing tool like nothing before it. And made a fortune.

I agree with the Toy Story one. It really was the "first" and paved the way, but I'd dare say Shrek made it big. The original Shrek was (if I remember correctly) the first that made it mainstream enough to make 1923127318273 movies like it.

Except it wasn't even the first Mel Brooks movie that dealt with touchy issues. He'd already broken that groun by the time Blazing Saddles came across his desk.

Though it was the first movie to have flatulence in it....

Batman was one of the biggest hits of all time. Superman was huge 10 years before that. Xmen was big because it made studios go nuts making Marvel movies, but comic book flicks had been big long before Xmen was even popular as a comic book, let alone a movie.

The Nightmare On Elm Street that was filmed in 3D

Seriously, Stagecoach was one of the first big epic westerns.

Probably alredy been mentioned but Blair Witch Project as well, just for it's use of the internet to gain popularity and build up the backstory. Get people interested and build an aura around the film.
This led to many films following suit such as Snakes On A Plane.

Airplane. I don't think I really need to explain.

ZAZ also really changed the way spoofs were done with Police Squad (In Color), which was the predecessor to the Naked Gun series.

X-Men comics became popular in the mid 70s, 1975 and then boomed starting in 1980, so your statement that Comic Book movies were huge long before the X-men were popular as a comic book is fallacious

Seriously, Stagecoach was one of the first big epic westerns.

Probably alredy been mentioned but Blair Witch Project as well, just for it's use of the internet to gain popularity and build up the backstory. Get people interested and build an aura around the film.
This led to many films following suit such as Snakes On A Plane.
BWP had no staying power though, it's no coincidence that anyone who has tried to follow suit has pretty much failed.

BWP did a lot of things already done, and got its fifteen minutes of fame. It didn't really change anything, and you'll notice how few people are dumb enough to try internet marketing.

BWP did however get movies to be hyped and trailers made for the internet. It would have happened anyway, but this movie took the lead and caught the big boys flat footed.

X men was never popular enough to be considered for movie adaptation until it became mainstream in the late 80s/early 90s. That's when development started.
