I was thinking about movies that seem to get universal praise, but seem to remain absent from various top ten lists. Certain movies we've seen a thousand times, but still stop to watch when its on tv. Does this make it a "Classic?" Is it overrated? Underrated? What defines a Classic?

If this produces a spirited discussion, Ill put more movies up to talk about. For the inaugural edition, lets start with one we have all probably seen.

Ghostbusters: Classic movie? Let the debate begin.

Yes.


Debate over.

I like the idea.

And Ghostbusters is totally a classic.

Great thread, good 'softball' example. Everyone loves Ghostbusters. It is a classic

Classic. Although the fact that sequel was crap does harm the original some

GhostBusters 2 was still funny it just wasn't a classic.

Classic.

What made the first a "classic" but not the 2nd one?

The two poll options should be "Yes" and "Yes"


Its my most favourite movie of forever time!!!!

I don't really consider it "classic" so I'm stuck out on the ledge by myself with the no vote.

Ghostbusters 2 was tamed down to almost a G-level because of the success of the toys selling plus The Real Ghostbusters cartoon series. That is why it failed to classic status.

I've written papers on how Ghostbusters 2 is similar to what happened in WWE when they changed to PG.

You should be deported.

It's my favourite movie of all time, so a little biased on the "classic" tag.

I just watched this the other night for the first time in years and yeah, it's a classic for sure. Ghostbusters wooooooo!

How so?

Can't wait for Jeritron's take on this. It's his fav movie.

Ghostbusters is one of those movies everyone can enjoy. When it's on TV, you watch it always. (Shisen has taped it at least 7 times). You can reference it in daily conversation. It doesn't get dull or boring, no matter how many times you see it. It's a movie you can pull off the shelf any day and watch it. Plus it has a great theme song.

I'll probably give this random collection of thoughts for a lot of "classics," but it fits I think.

Also,

lol

Great real world advise: If somebody asks you "Are you a God?" you say "YES!"

lets show this prehistoric bitch how we do things downtown

Yes its a classic.

Might watch it tonight.

Anyone who votes no likes to eat their shit out of the toilet.

The scholarly endeavors of STD

And Yes

Lock Jaw almost had to resort to this the other day.

Stop mentioning me in all your posts. Name dropping will not improve your posting ability.

Lock Jaw should be in Ghostbusters 3

That would improve the quality of Ghostbusters 3.

Hells yes

It was from a popular culture journalism class. Had to wait a few semesters to get into because there was like only 8 spots per semester.

Got an A for the class.

It is a decent film. But the cartoon was better.

Listen, do you smell something?
