Lasting impact vs. lasting effect

Hi

Could you please tell me if both of the underlined phrases work naturally and synonymously?

Some (good) books and movies leave a lasting effect on you.

Some (good) books and movies leave a lasting impact on you.

Thanks,

Tom

Mr. Some (good) books and movies leave a lasting impact on you. Not quite synonymous ('impact' is more dynamic and immediate) but yes.
