Fans Reveal Which Modern Movies Will Be Considered Classics In 25 Years
New movies are released every week and some of them are going to stand the test of time and be considered classics years down the line. These Redditors stepped up to list which films they think will live on to be rewatched over and over.
From Redditor u/brownidegurl:
Totally agree. Into the Spider-Verse is what I wish all of Disney/Pixar would be since like WALL-E in 2008.
Dynamic characters, revolutionary animation and art direction, a story with genuine grit and heart that manages to center the experiences of POC. Not a huge fan of American comics and I don't care for superhero movies, but I adore this movie and Miles Morales.
Classic?From Redditor u/notmiefault:
Mad Max: Fury Road is arguably the greatest action movie ever made, and thanks to its practical effects it should hold up really well to time, since CG tends to age poorly.
Classic?From Redditor u/The_Lord_Humungus:
Easily one of the funniest movies made in the past 20 years.
From Redditor u/SuperSoakerLiker:
A co-worker told me about that movie and he said something like "It's about these vampires... and they are roommates... but they have been roommates for hundreds of years...." and I just stopped him right there because, to me, that was the funniest damn premise already for a movie and I knew that the material would be endless if done right.
So my wife and I watched it that very night and we were dying lolling. She was high as balls and she thought it was a real documentary even AFTER the f*cker floated at the dinner table. I was busting her balls pretty hard for that one.

From Redditor u/WaywardWriter:
I think it's definitely their best movie since Up! Human and grounded in spite of the stellar fantasy. The "Remember Me" scene was absolutely shattering.

Get Out is probably the answer. Culturally powerful, classic imagery with the teaspoon and falling into a void, social commentary.

From Redditor u/Plug_5:
Dunkirk is the best war movie I've ever seen, hands down:
1. It's about a retreat; a time when the protagonists are actually losing.
2. It doesn't center around the U.S.
3. There's no "bunch of generals yelling at each other" scene.
4. The amazing narrative technique and non-linear chronology.
5. The score, esp the use of the Shepard Scale.Classic?From Redditor u/TheAymonster:
Arrival for sure. It's such a unique and intelligent story about communication and collaboration that has gotten better with each viewing. Then there's the brilliant role of time in the story which is unlike any other take I've seen. Amy Adams carries but the rest of the cast does a good job, especially Forrest Whitaker. People don't talk about it enough but I hope Arrival will be remembered.

From Redditor u/DogStilts:
The Lighthouse will be classified the same way Eraserhead is in the grand scheme of things. It isn't accessible-enough for your average viewer to be a true classic, but it will be recognized for the oddball that it is.

From Redditor u/REDDIT_SUCKS_DV_ME:
I love Ex Machina. Philosophical, funny, uneasy, tension-building and such amazing cinematography.
Classic?From Redditor u/greybeardthehippie:
On paper I should hate this film.
In reality, I could not stop watching it.
From Redditor u/flare2000x:
Came here to say this. I can't find a single fault in this film.

From Redditor u/europechad:
Hereditary will without a doubt become one of the "big" names when it comes to horror movies in the next 5-10 years. I am quite the hater when it comes to the horror genre but Hereditary absolutely blew me away. That shot of the son's face while you can hear the mother wake up for "another normal day" only to find the decapitated body of her daughter in the car was gut-wrenching.

From Redditor u/unifyzero:
I went in expecting nothing and was completely rocked, it’s probably in my top five for the decade, and woefully under-appreciated.

From Redditor u/agumonkey:
That movie made me feel heavy.. not scared, not creeped .. but heavy.
There's a recurrent slow tension all along that is very finely crafted.
Worth a classic tag.

Jake Gyllenhaal is such a damn creep in Nightcrawler. It makes me very uncomfortable, but I keep rewatching it anyway because he's so good.
