All Time Hollywood Classics
I'm trying to compile a definitive list of movies considered Hollywood classics in the Talkie era. I've also included films in English not produced by Hollywood but are also considered classics. I've taken information from a number of sources and have tried to use a number of qualifiers and filters.
1. The IMDB rating is not necessarily a determining factor on whether a movie is considered a classic. I think that it may indicate how well a movie has aged or is appreciated today in some respects.
2. Historical relevance is another factor taken into consideration and how influential or important a film is.
3. Award wins and nominations are another factor but even Best Picture winners are no guarantee to make it on to this list and some in fact have been excluded because they haven't stood the test of time.
4. The overall lasting popularity of a movie is a large factor in determining a classic. If a movie has not been forgotten, people are still watching, and still it's relevant today there is a good chance that it will make this list.
5. Box office numbers are taken into consideration but only to strengthen the case of a likely candidate.
6. A film has to be at least 10 years old to be considered for this list.
I'm open to suggestions or input.
