What was the most recent movie that could be near-universally regarded as a "classic"?
The Mummy (1999)
elf (2003)
Top Gun Maverick
Who the frick is still talking about the top gun sequel? Batman on the other hand gets 10 fricking threads a day here
Uh, everyone? Not only is is still kickin ass at the box office and humiliated capeshit at the theaters, it is legitimately historic in many ways.
You think the opinions unwashed autistic fricks in a fringe Internet forum are a reflection of what is being talked about?
In fact pretty much everyone out there has already forgotten about Batman, and the 10 threads a day you make here won't change that.
>it is legitimately historic in many ways
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fricking how? Don't get me wrong, it's a decent film but calling it historic is laughable. It's blatant US military propaganda with some decent action. Nothing more.
The latest Marvel hit, of course.
Infinity war?
squid game
Unironically Parasite. Instant classic that will be studied in film schools
Uncut gems is most recent
Literally no one I spoke to IRL could make it through the whole thing
Really? I'm a boatbuilder and the every single person I talked to at work, not only watched it, but their polymer rotted brains could make it through it.
Are you 9th grade?
The Batman.

It’s been awhile. Maybe something like No Country? It genuinely is hard to tell; everything has been so bad for so long.
no country for old men was the first thing that came to mind for me too. theres been good and great films released since then, but not that i'd really categorize as a classic. maybe its because of how derivative movies have gotten, but even when i see a movie i really like now days all i can think is "that was good for a movie made now days" but none of them approach being a timeless classic.
yeah no country and TWBB in the same year was probably the last time we had films that were totally loved by critics and mainstream audiences at the same time. TWBB was probably a little less popular in blockbuster terms
was just blowing some T1 idiots out the water recently...
yeah but matrix ripped off dark city whereas T2 only ripped off T1 which is natural
Checked. I’ve grown to like T1 a bit more personally, but a lot of that has to do with knowing how the movie was made/developed, prefer the T1 score. Plus I have a soft spot for stop motion. It’s like Alien/Aliens - both considered great but if asking which is better among fans seems to be an even split.
>A terminator that doesn't kill
Nice classic, bro
The Matrix
Joker (2019)
Return of the King
Black Panther is a classic, chuds
Please make frens, fren
Dune. The newer one
Dune 2021 is indeed shockingly sublime. I mean, I slobber over Lynch's Dune and was skeptical, but it hit it out of the park all the same.
if this scene wasn't in dune 2021, it would not be kino
>Dune 2021 is indeed shockingly sublime
youre an idiot. what are you like 16?
Everything about it was the opposite of you.
so the opposite of beautiful and intelligent and weird and cool, and the movie also had a small penis. ok homo
^it thinks its beautiful and intelligent
lmfao
Movies about delusion?
oh oh oh oh, and almost forgot:
ywnbaw
Top Gun Maverick. Instant classic.
The Northman (2022)
The batman and top gun came out in 2022 and in 20 years everyone will still remember them
Joker
Shang Chi
Patriot Day (2016)
Black Mass (2015)
iTonya (2017)
Spencer (2021)
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Spotlight (2015)
The Founder (2016)
Vice (2018)
I thoroughly enjoyed all these somewhat recent movies
The Founder was good, but the rest of your list is shit and not even close to classics.
Unbelievably cringe
No one asked what you enjoyed. We're talking about modern day classics, which aren't decided by one dude's opinion but by the pop culture splash they made and the permanence they'll have in the general audience's mind as the years go by.
I hope you are torn to shreds by a pack of dogs. Frick you c**t
You list is still irrelevant Autistic Tim.
None of those films will EVER be considered to have captured or defined this era. None of them will be referenced on future movies, cartoons and tv shows. Try and talk about it with a random cute girl and she will look at you like the social reject that you are.
Minions 2 then
Unironically it has a better chance, yes. But probably not so much as most of it's power is being a meme like Morbius was.
Batman V Superman
300
Inception.
samegay, but true.
I'm flattered you care. Anyway, still true. I remember I still believed in the Oscars back then and was incensed that it got ignored.
Inception
The Irishman
Everyone realises once zoomers are grown up, the MCU will be seen as "classics" the same way Star Wars and stuff like that is?
Joker, 2019
Morbius
How soon you all forget.
Post it
I'm calling it now: Avatar: Way Of The Water.
You're too late, Cameron.
Only one I can think of right now from past 20 years is Cast Away
Can you homosexuals please stop naming shitty Hollywood franchise films that will be forgotten in 5 years, is this board entirely just Zoomers at this point? In what world would the new Batman movie be considered a classic of cinema?
Go to bed, Tim.
>what is bait
That said Joker is unironically a strong contender
It’s not. It’s a good movie but there are already 2 other classic films it’s ripping off. No point in celebrating the Joker years from now when it did nothing new.
It's alright for Phoenix's acting. It's cliche otherwise and not really kino nor capeshit, just someone who wanted to make kino trying to trick the masses by using a capeshit character. Fell short IMO.
It will be celebrated more for surrounding shit show around it plus it's a holy grail of incels movies now
It definitely IS one of the most recent additions to the NBK, Fight Club, Dark Knight, American Psycho, etc club.
Unironically Infinity War. Love it or hate it, people will talk about it for decades to come as being the pinnacle of the MCU
True. Also Endgame, to be frank.
Maybe as quick quip
>Should had ended it at Infinity war
Manchester by the Sea, maybe The Lighthouse
Only among pseuds and kinophiles
Lamb (2015)
History will vindicate me and know my pain
Parasite
Terminator 2
Everyone likes it basically, from boomers to zoom zooms. Remembered as a breakthrough in CG in movies at the time, was the last incredibly solid action blockbuster imo. I know it seems the odd choice when there are better deeper movies. I consider a classic to have universal appeal and longevity. T2 has both.
Well said. T2 was one of the last great action movies in that it has loads of actions and it was also well thought out. That and Total Recall were the last ones, bro.
You're too old. It's been a classic for decades now.
Of course it has, but ame something more recent that was that successful and universally well regarded. I considered Nolan movies as they have their kino moments, but don’t have that universal appeal or longevity, or not as much imo. What’s your pick?
Matrix came at the end of the decade and is a classic. T2 is flawed
All classics are.
the Matrix is troony bullshit, nobody with taste likes it
You must love it then.
I am not a troony. I never was and never had an inclination. Frick you.
They’re both flawed. I would argue T2 is far more rewatchable, but that just boils down to taste. Matrix isn’t a bad pick though. Shame is that both were followed by several terrible sequels.
For reference, the first 2 Shrek movies are considered classics.
I think the wolf of wall street will be a classic
I’ve seen Home Alone a countless times and I only just noticed that the policeman in the beginning is Joe Pesci
How
Let me guess, you "watch" movies on your 2nd or 3rd monitor while you're browsing Cinemaphile and flicking through social medias on your phone.
No Country for Old Men
There Will be Blood
The Master
The Social Network
Drive
BvS Ultimate Edition
Zodiac
Prisoners
BR2049
WALL-E
The Dark Knight
Manchester by the Sea
Assassination of Jesse James
Gladiator (2000) surely. It basically resurrected the sword and sandals genre which is already a staple of Hollywood classics lists.
Yeah, I mean it gave us that one other movie Troy. Completely resurrected the genre
Please stop posting this image.
The ps2 graphics are so triggering
I think Interstellar and Blade Runner 2049 will be regarded as sci-fi classics.
Other than that I'm not sure, but my guesses are The Irishman, Whiplash, Parasite, Joker and Tarantula's movies.
By the way it's pretty funny that the thread is about "the most recent movies" and wondering which one of them will become classics and half of this thread are 30 years old movies that were classics even before half of this board was born.
Why has Cinemaphile turned on 'Drive'?
It hasn't, Drive just isn't a classic movie, especially not among normies.
Classic doesn't mean "good movie I watched before"
A classic is like home alone where it's referenced all the time, shown every christmas, still enjoyable after 100 watches
No country for old men
Zodiac
Pacific Rim
Speed Racer
Paddington 1 and 2
Pic related.
Honest answer?
1917 maybe. It has massive appeal to both audiences, critics and was watched by enough people that when you mention it people actually know what you're talking about. I don't know of anything more recent that can be considered a classic by a lot of people. There are certainly movies I think are personally better, but they aren't popular with the culture, and it's hard to call a movie that isn't somewhat popular a classic.
