Recent Future Classics

Sometimes it's hard to tell what movies will endure to become classics. If you told me in 1985 that Real Genius would endure to make Val Kilmer a star, I would have laughed in your face. And yet, here we are. Then there are movies like Rain Man and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, which become legendary the moment they're released.

What movies have you seen recently that you think might stand the test of time?

I'll get the ball rolling and say that so far this year, Cloverfield might have what it takes,simply because it delivered in redefining the monster genre (Who would have thought you could make a successful movie focused on the people screaming "Aieeee!" at Godzilla?). Also, given the recent proliferation of the term "sweded," I think Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind will be remembered for decades to come.
