You know how, today, we take inspiration or look up to “classic” films like The Godfather and The Shawshank Redemption? Well, what did people in the 80s/90s look up to? 70s movies? Black and white movies? What were seen as classics back then?

    Not to speak for OP (I’m going to speak for OP) but I think the question is not “were there good movies before $CURRENT_YEAR” but rather: how much time needs to pass before a movie is recognized as a classic, and has that amount of time remained static?

    If I am wrong please correct me
