Because you are trying to say Ringu is a classic and Gone with the Wind is not, it leads me to believe that your definition of classic is 'any movie you really like.'

Unfortunately the world does not revolve around you, and neither does the term 'classic'. Classic is a general umbrella in every genre of movie to define films that have made a profound impact on the genre and endured the test of time.

Gone with the Wind is most definately a classic, whether you like the movie or not. Ringu is not a classic yet (No matter how much you like it.), but it could become one someday.

The use of the term classic on this forum is not wrong, it's your use of the term classic that is inaccurate.
First: "Ringu" isnt 'any movie I really like
Second: why is "Gone with the wind" a classic....?...because it was a big hit....and because it was expensive and had big stars...? To me thats not enough....It probably got many oscars too...
To me its a sleazy overdone lovestory...its a typical hollywood turkey...It remindes me of "Titanic" which is allready considered a classic...... by some film critics.....
