Classics of the Future

These are movies that I genuinely believe will be considered classics of the future. There seems to be no set definition regarding when a movie can truly be considered a classic, beyond standing the test of time. The most common number number that I keep coming up with looking online though is twenty-five years, although the age a movie can quality for the National Film Registry is just ten years, which seems too short. Therefore there will be no movies on this list that were released prior to 1995. Anything older has already passed the mark when it could become considered a classic. I don't personally rate every one of these movies as five stars, but I have seen them all and can admit that even the ones I cared less for seem destined for classic status.
