What do you think makes a movie a classic

Sure! Here are five different takes on what makes a movie a classic:

1. **Timeless Themes**: I think a classic movie really nails those universal themes that resonate with people no matter when they watch it. Love, loss, friendship—stuff like that. If it hits you in the feels, it’s likely to stick around.

2. **Memorable Characters**: A classic often has characters that you just can't forget. Whether they’re super relatable or totally out there, if they leave a mark and you find yourself thinking about them long after the credits roll, that’s a big win.

3. **Cultural Impact**: Some movies change the game or spark conversations that last for years. If a film influences other movies or even pop culture in general, it earns its classic status for sure.

4. **Great Storytelling**: At the end of the day, a classic movie usually tells a great story. It doesn’t matter if it’s a drama, comedy, or action flick—if it’s well-crafted and keeps you engaged, it’s likely to be remembered.
