This is a graph charting films and there influence on the culture through reference. I found this chart interesting as certain lines or what have you from movies become colloquial, they enter into our everyday speech and possibly not even from seeing the film of its origin. Furthermore movies will often reference other movies further confounding the culture.

This is a chart showing the extinction rates of animals on this earth. this chart is interesting in that everyone knows about climate change, everyone knows mass extinction is a pretty bad thing but this chart visually represents where we stand and I feel could hammer home more effectively the fact that we need to change something.

This is a chart representing the city of Amsterdam in terms of data, I chose this simply because I found it interesting and feel that when looking at something like an entire city you are taken out of the human aspect of it when it is broken down to figures of data and think that it would be interesting to see New York presented in terms of whats in the air, ets.
