If by positive impact you mean most enjoyable, then:

The Godfather, Mario Puzo (Film good, Novel excellent)
Anna Karenin, Leo Tolstoy (Best novelist ever IMO)
Rendezvous With Rama Series, Arthur Clarke (Great)
Replay, Ken Grimley? (Cool story)

"Godel Escher Bach: An eternal Golden Braid" by Douglas Hoffstadter

"Zen Flesh, Zen Bones" a collection by Paul Reps

"Slaughterhouse Five" Kurt Vonnegut

"Replay" by Ken Grimwood

I really enjoy reading books about re-living your life, I think the best two I have read are Replay by Ken Grimwood and the first fifteen lives of Harry August by Claire North, very recommended.

In terms of movies also About time incidentally explored some of the same concepts.
