sky captain was a beautiful film .. and yes - a perfect example of CGI being used the way it should be ... to create an impossible world ..

yeah I'm an old Hulk fan...I saw him first in the Fantastic 4 comic strip...Then he got his own comic strip...and then he got his own tv series which I enjoyed as a kid.....I think they did a great thing by spraying Luo Feringno green :D
...but I dont think director Ang Lee(?) had the right passion to make a movie about Hulk...He cant have had.... cause Hulk looked like a overblown green mashmellow :mad:

I'd say anything 10 years or older that was considered an "amazing" film could be considered a classic...but the real classics go way back.

I wouldn't say 1995 is considered classic. Stretch it to 15 or so and I'd agree with you.

a classic can be a current movie.
some are classics the dasy they are released ..
i dont think time always determines the quality of a film ..


i.e. The Godfather - was a classic from day one.

A classic doesn't have to be old, as someone before me mentioned classics can be just that from the day they're released. I believe even films that have come out in the last two years (not necessarily horror) can be considered classics in my standards.
