25 movies per year are added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry. There is some argument over what constitutes a classic vs modern classic and so on as we all come to realize that Pulp Fiction is a 30 year old movie and Jaws is turning 50 next year. 😱
I'm thinking:
Silent Era - kinda obvious
Studio Era/Golden Era - talkies to mid/late 60s
Blockbuster Era/Classic Film - 70s-2000
Modern Classic - Turn of the century to present.
@Cosmichomicide I think there needs to be a separate category after movies we’re able to be watched at home. Movies changed so that it was important to see in the theatre versus wait for the VHS. Would John Hughes films ever have made it if the only market was blockbuster video?
That's a great point. Seeing the same with streaming films.
