Subject: Re: Modern Day Classic Movies
Actually, many of the movies mentioned above are already considered classics, aka. "new classics". Strictly speaking, isn't a movie considered a classic if it is at least 20 yers old?

National Lampoons Christmas Vacation!! ;D
Subject: Re: Modern Day Classic Movies
The question still stands.
Subject: Re: Modern Day Classic Movies
I agree with you Davester - thats why I said after 1990 for my limit on modern day classic songs.
Subject: Re: Modern Day Classic Movies
Okay how about 1965-1989....that way they have to be before 1990...therefore, from my list I will pull off "Dumb & Dumber" and the rest will remain intact ;)
