Abstract: Original impact (box office, awards);• Extended impact (DVD re-issues, restorations);• Wider impact (citations in other media, evidence of esteem, impact on social/cultural behaviour, IMDb ratings and number of YouTube clips).6. On each of the wider impact measures, a majority of the 30 case studies achieved high scores: 18 were cited in other media, 22 showed evidence of esteem, 20 showed evidence of impact on the behaviour of society, 26 had an IMDB user rating of seven or above and 22 had five or more clips on YouTube.7. Additionally, the study identifies four key categories of cultural impact:• Censorship and notoriety (eg A Clockwork Orange withdrawn by its director after a critical furore and alleged death threats, or The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp deemed a threat to morale by a wartime government);• Quotations in other media such as songs, TV shows and music videos, (eg references to Chariots of Fire and its celebrated score in television shows including LA Law, The Simpsons, The Office, Ugly Betty and Will and Grace);
