    Dont know if this has been done .....

    What films of our generation do you think people of future generations will consider " a classic " ?

    Off the top of my head id nominate Schindlers list and Shawshank

    Its a bit hard to say, with people having differing opinions on everything, but i think that Fight Club is one of the most radical (and entertaining) films of recent years, and might just pass the test of time. Id like to think that Amilie would too, but how many people have seen that ?

    Welcome to Sarajevo
    Being John Malkovich
    Before Sunrise
    Fight Club
    Seven
    Bullets over Broadway
    Y tu Mama Tambien

    there's lots more I can't think of now ... Not doing too badly there, are we? Can anyone think of any Irish films that'll be classic in years to come, though? Maybe Butcher Boy?

    Seven and schindlers list, definately.
    The new star wars films will probably be looked back on when the next set of the saga comes out aswell :)
    <edit> how could we forget the lord of the ring trilogy?

    I suppose you could argue that most of the films mentioned are already considered classics.

    But as for my Choices, besides the obvious LOTR...

    Memento
    The Big Lebowski
    Leon

    Agree/Disagree?
