Not quite. To be a "classic" a film has to have Humphrey Bogart and/or Ingrid Bergman.

Your examples are all good "vintage" films.

I never liked the French Connection the others are very good movies but classics?... no

 

[hjmick]

"Epic Classics?" No.


If you can't even take the time to spell out the complete name of the film, don't bother listing it.

 

[Rambunctious]

When I think of classic films I think of the Godfather...
Vertigo... Wizard of Oz... Casablanca... Gone with the Wind... Some like it Hot and West Side Story...

 

[rightwinger]

Yes

Why did you not like the French Connection

 

[Rambunctious]

Why did you not like the French Connection

I don't know... I know everyone likes it... I just couldn't get into it...

I don't know... I know everyone likes it... I just couldn't get i

I agree

12 Angry Men. That is all.

 

[Innocynioc]

Jodie Foster is so beautiful that if Silence of the Lambs is not a classic then it damned well oughta' be.

 

[Quasar44]

12 Angry Men. That is all.

Do you like 12 angry men better than A. now

 

[$ecular#eckler]

I think Twelve Angry Men is the only classic. Maybe, Raging Bull. Apocalypse Now is a messy message thing. Silence of the Lambs is kind the same message thing - it was not a horror movie.

Which brings me to genre - these aesthetic comparisons have to be critiqued in genres.

Where's Star Wars in your list? Are you kidding me - you leave out Star Wars? It's going on fifty years - every kid has to watch it, you know?

I just got around to watching On the Waterfront with Marlon Brando. Some think that's a classic.

If you are like 15 years old a Jodie Foster might seem classic.

 

[rightwinger]

All those movies are around 40 or more years old and still get substantial air play
They also won many awards

He can't spell Apocalypse.

I refuse to call any film released in my adult head "vintage".

Raging bull and 12 angry men. Enjoyed the rest, but not classics.

Epic classics are 1930s 1940s and early 1950s films .....for me at least.

The ones the OP mentioned are great films, no doubt about it, but .....newer films...too new to be epic.
