Probably nothing. The box office revenues reflect the sad state of film these days. Everything is a poor copy of something that's come before, often a bad tv show.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

This man has the right idea. Add American History X to that, and maybe Sin City, and you have yourself a nice set of classics.
To anyone who hasn't seen it, go see American History X, it's undoubtedly my favourite movie ever, I absolutely encourage everyone to watch it.

Lord of the Rings
Matrix Trilogy
Troy (not sure about this)
Titanic

**drakkie** · 10-30-2005, 01:20 AM

Apocalypse Redux (even though its a remake of that 70's movie), IMO one of the films you HAVE to have seen.
Kill Bill 1, not 2
Men in Black

**Cyco** · 10-30-2005, 01:27 AM

Remakes like War of the Works will not normally stand the test of time.

Titanic will be a shoe in as it has all the stuff that makes girls and oldies go all soppy.

The Truman Show was a intersting look at for far the reality genre could go, and it came before the tv shows tried to take things this far.

Eternal Sunshine and Donnie Darco have a good chance to get there as does LOTRs - but this like other SX based films will look dated more quickly.

Once Were Warriers is imho more likely to reach classic status.

Good movie

**Spastik_Roach** · 10-30-2005, 01:28 AM

Definitly Kill Bill, its wonderful in a sick way.

**Spastik_Roach** · 10-30-2005, 01:28 AM

Kill Bill, definitly. A sick, but brilliant movie.

**derekthetree** · 10-30-2005, 01:31 AM

if ultimatum is anywhere near as good a identity and supremacy then i think the jason bourne trilogy will be one of the best ever made. the cinematography is stunning but each has its own style.

gooing back a few years reckon these films are either already classics or will become them

leon
ronin
pi
taxi (the french one)

***henk4*** · 10-30-2005, 01:40 AM

"The Usual Suspects" (the movie, not the list below

)
Lord of the Rings
Oh brother where are thou? (or anything by the Cohn brothers)

**RazaBlade** · 10-30-2005, 03:40 AM

Yep, def agree on Bourne series.
And Leon, what a film

I would have said Pulp Fiction already was a classic...

**Mustang** · 10-30-2005, 03:43 AM

Resevoir dogs
lock stock and two smokeing barrels
