Koyaanisqatsi

The original and definitive altered time (slo mo, timelapse, speeded). The Philip Glass music. I see 2 or 3 references a month even today on TV. Timelapse of a sunrise with Glass like music, helicopter views the same.

Another original was Paris Texas, Ry Cooder's music. Every time you see a desert shot today it seems to be accompanied by a long twaaaanngg note on a guitar. Started there.

if you think Paris Texas invented that trope then you clearly haven't watched any westerns
