I can think of anything more recent than 50 years a classic. It just goes against the definition of the word. As absolutely excellent and wonderful as it is, even "Terms of Endearment" isn't a classic. There has to be some kind of aura about the movie for it to be a classic. I would say that "Midnight Cowboy" and "The Graduate" are both classic movies.

If I could only name one 21st century film, and I would, this would be it.

None. And, O.P. should go first, not just answer their own question with a question mark or its equivalent.

This decade, I guess you mean, I'd go with The Social Network, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Skyfall, The Raid 2, Hacksaw Ridge, Rango, True Grit, Inception, 12 Years a Slave, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, The Handmaiden, Mad Max: Fury Road, The Avengers, Midnight in Paris, and The King's Speech. So quite a few.

Hard to think of one after the 80s.
Things like the Terminator will, but that's independent.
I don't believe any major studio film made after 1990 is going to have longevity among film fans.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit would be my vote for the last big studio film with wide release that might qualify as a classic.

I'm thinking that these films will be among tomorrow's Classics UP Tangled Toy Story series Harry Potter series Indiana Jones series I'm thinking that this is what the OP had in mind with that somewhat sketchy and very much open to interpretation Original Post which was really only a Thread title and an equally non-committal emoji. am I right in that line one assessment msdemos ? |

My perspective is a little different.
I see a break between the classic era and the modern era beginning in 1970. Of course, major changes doesn’t happen over night at New Year’s Eve. There is always a lead up. 1968 would also be a good change over from the classic to the modern era with the emergence of The New Hollywood. However, 1970, a new decade, is as good a year as any to mark the change from Classic to Modern.
That’s why a number of years, 50, 75, whatever, doesn’t matter. What is “classic” doesn’t change as the years progress. There is a definite breaking point from around ’67 to ’70. Since that time to Now, we are in the modern era.
Since my “classic era” lasted about 70 years and IF the pattern holds true, then there will be a radical break about the year 2040. Then we can have the First Classical Era from about 1903 to 1970, the second classical real from 1970 to 2040. After that, there will be a new modern era.
That is the way I see things.

The Right Stuff. It's a film I think has been forgotten. A few years ago there was a thread in Film general asking for the most heroic 80s American film - most said the likes of Rambo! No mention of The Right Stuff

This one, from only last year, looked to me every inch the classic movie... in the mould of (and dare I say it - as good as) THE INNOCENTS. It is not a "horror" film (although it has some jolts and one terrifying scene) despite it being filed in the HORROR section of FOPP at Cambridge Circus in London,, my nearest ... and indeed one of the last remaining dvd emporium.....anyone expecting the new HEREDITARY will be sorely disappointed ......it is, at best, a ghost story... the first hour or so has more in common with those heritage romantic-dramas-in-a-country-pile offerings such as THE REMAINS OF THE DAY, ATONEMENT, GOSFORD PARK and THE ENGLISH PATIENT. The denoument is perhaps less supernatural than some might hope for. But it is by far the most impressive movie I've seen in a long long time

No mention of The Right Stuff Not quite forgotten. I'm sure it won the BEST OF 1983 poll on old imdb1 back in the day. Splendid movie though.
