Re: Classic films

No, they're not.
ps.
pre-1960 might be a good time period to be called 'classic', but pre 1998? Are you insane?
pps.

He should have said 'good films' then, and not confuse the issue by using the wrong word.

Most of the good ones have been mentioned already.
Any Coen brothers film is probably a safe bet too. eg Fargo

Reservoir Dogs became cliché, but it probably deserves to go in because it's very well put together. The Rock and Shawshank I'd agree on, and Goodfellas is more of a 'If you like that kind of thing' film, but nowhere near the level of The Godfather.

Kelly's Heroes
The Italian Job (the new one isnt too bad either)
