Postmodern CriticThe new Classics?
June 25th 2008 13:09
This is totally off my "usual " topic but its good for conversation.
Entertainment Weekly published their list of New Classics, the best movies of 1993 to 2008.
I have seen the majority of these films and I agree that a lot of these are classics. I think any movie that comes on TV and you stop to watch it for at least a few minutes qualifies it at a classic.
For me there are several that fall into that category.
1. Gladiator- I think this might be my favorite movie that I never realized I like so much. Every time I see it on I watch pretty much the whole thing.
2. Goodfellas- Same thing, pretty much the best gangster film outside of the Godfather.
3. Office Space- I only love it so much because its a mirror image of a place I used to work.
One glaring omission for me is Boyz in the Hood. A great movie that the critics loved so I'm not sure what happened there.
The complete list is here. There are a ton of other lists on the left bar so you could be there for a while. Enjoy!
