I might agree with you on some of the 2019 Best Picture nominee's, but definitely not all of them. like... Joker/The Irishman/Once Upon a Time in Hollywood etc are all likely to top it (and probably some others to).
p.s. hell, 1917 or American Beauty, both from the same director, which have awards but are clearly more forgettable than the directors top movies, which are... Road to Perdition(10/10)/Skyfall(9/10)/Spectre(7.5-8/10).

I think that's partially true, but I think what makes a classic/a movie really stand out is a combo of things like solid commercial success paired with general praise/movie quality. because some movies, like most super hero movies, have the $ going for them, but don't have the staying power and wide appeal among a wider range of age groups etc.
that's why I think something like Gladiator (2000) has staying power as it's got solid $ and people generally like it quite a bit and it's not mainly limited to young people like super hero movies seem to be.

I know it might be easy for you to attempt to dis me for not having seen it yet, but #21 in IMDb's Top 250 is pretty extreme. I know my taste in movies well enough to where I can say with a solid level of confidence that movie simply won't be THAT great. even if I underestimate it a fair amount, there is NO WAY it's going to be that great (as in anywhere near #21 of all-time) for me to the point I would bet money on it.
It’ll likely be more well remembered in years to come than Jojo Rabbit or 1917.

It's not easy to be remembered unless it's a big commercial film.
