New Classics
 

So, I'm watching AMC tonight and they're talking about new classic movies. What do you guys think should be considered new classic movies?

Mine are:
Raiders of the Lost Ark
All 3 Back to the Futures
Bull Durham
Lethal Weapon
Caddyshack
Rio Bravo
Blues Brothers
Days of Thunder
Die Hard
Silverado
Top Gun

Goodfellas
Platoon
Forrest Gump
Pulp Fiction
Titanic

you have to include Breakfast Club and Pretty in Pink.

There are a ton...here are a few that come to mind:

Goodfellas
Saving Private Ryan
Platoon
Rain Man
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction (grouped together in the Tarantino category)
Glengarry Glen Ross (Mamet's screenplay is unreal, the movie itself is excellent)
Animal House and Caddyshack (gross-out comedy at its finest, with very good acting)

Many more, I'll get back to you...I'm sorta a movie buff, so this is my thing.

Oh yeah, forgot about Saving Private Ryan. The Oscars lost all credibility when some stupid non sensical chick flick won Best Picture over one of the best war epics ever made.

How could I forget Animal House? I'm an idiot!

Before I go crazy tonite as on 3 rd load of laundry afte driving 300 miles in 24 hours, to end up where I started!

Animal House
Top Gun
Beverely Hills Cop 1,2, 3
Indiana Jones 1,2, 3
Firefighters!
DownHillRacer.
The Way We Were.
Love Story.

TombStone (!!!!!!!!!!) YES! Good Guys Win Again!

Dirty Harry, 1, 2 , 3!

James Whitmore playing Harry S Truman!

Any Movie with Marrion Morrison in it! From Iowa!!!!!

Hell out of here!

Mine are:

Forrest Gump
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
As Good As It Gets
Back to The Future
Indiana Jones

I know some of you have already mentioned some of them, but how do you think the Brat Pack movies of the early to mid 80s will fit into this...how will they be remembered, as cult classics or not at all?

Collin

Don't forget two of the best trilogies ever done!

Lord of the Rings
and
Star Wars (the trilogy made in the 70's/80's)

mine are

When Harry Met Sally
Pretty Woman
As Good As It Gets
Breakfast Club
St. Elmo's Fire
Dirty Dancing
Moulin Rouge
and i think that Chicago will become a "new" classic once it's been relaeased for a couple years


if i can think of more i'll post them later

i can't believe no one has said:

terms of endearment
ET
goonies
fast times at ridgemont high
clerks

Philadelphia
