There may be a few,but with all the remakes,and rip offs,and movies that rely completely on special effects there sure wont be alot.

This decade will be remembered for all the superhero movies,and fantasy movies,many of them may be classics,but the ones that will stand out the most are the "Harry Potter" movies,which I havent evan seen yet (just the first half of 1),but I would call them the most truelly original movies with genuinely good writing this decade.

[feanor]

LOTR
Mullholland drive
Amelie
Donnie Darko

Thats all.

[Necross]

Can't believe I forgot Donnie Darko....

[equipe]

the classics will be decided by the studios so that they can re-release and market them in the future. They may be good or bad, but it will be what ever can sell easily

[Neverending]

The Passion of the Christ will probably turn out to be an Easter weekend classic like The Ten Commandments.

[Mat]

Can we actually tell what movies of today will be the classics of the future? I mean, they probably thought back in the day they thought How Green Was My Valley and Oliver! would be considered classics. Now they're barely thought of.

It'll take the test of time to show which will be the real classics.

[PsYkOoOoO]

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Im not sure about you guys,but for me its the best movie this year.

Oh well,it might just end up on the future classic list.I love that movie.:)
