Method of Madness:
Another "modern watcher" who loves 2001 here, although sadly, plenty of people don't. But it's hardly a modern thing, it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture. At least Citizen Kane had Hearst to blame for it not winning, but at least that was nominated.

It also gave us a lot of indelible imagery, like the monolith, the protohumans fighting, bone becomes spaceship match cut, Dave's helmet cam, and probably some other stuff, but aside from HAL's optical sensor they don't have much to do with AI.

And don't forget "Thus spake Zarathustra", the famous opening music. Not to mention watching the space station revolve to the Blue Danube waltz...
it was a revolutionary movie, as were a lot of other Kubrick works.
Mr. Doctor:
Of course, not only the quotes but also the visuals are imfluential. I'll bet that all the people (except those who saw the movie) were totally "wtf?" when this episode of The Simpsons was showed:
