Vote for future classics

The BFI (British Film Institute) are celebrating their 75th Anniversary and they're asking people to choose a film they would like to show to future generations. Film fans are being asked to make their choices on the BFI's website and the top choices will be announced in October. Check out the website to see what films famous people have chosen and make your own choice!

I'd be interested to know what criteria they're looking for to qualify a film as a 'classic'. The word's bandied about a lot and I can't help but think they're doing so once again. Perhaps its the film student in me but I can't help wondering!

That is soooo difficult to answer ...its like being asked your favourite one film of all time...I can't answer that in each genre let alone in an overall thing

I was reading the list of films that others have suggested and there is a few there that I definitely could pick....The Godfather is definitely one but I find it hard to be so certain of just one movie as there is so many to choose from...and should the film choosen be one that not many young people would have seen before??    hmmmm Am I thinking too much?  
Catnapper

Yes, you're thinking too much Luc  

I'd define a classic as a film that stands the test of time and that people will still enjoy watching 50 years from now...........but it's still hard trying to pick just one!
Emperor Morphetine

I personally went for 'Pulp Fiction' in the end, though it was difficult picking just one to be honest...
Lucifer_666

I've thought too hard      

I think I will stick with Godfather

Don't worry guys, there's no Jeremy Paxman type telling you to 'hurry up'!
Lucifer_666

 Imagine if there was ....  a little paxman appears on your shoulder and starts telling you to hurry up ...decide DECIDE!!!!!    Creepy eh??    
Emperor Morphetine

Yeah, I'd be annoyed with that! I've never really liked the man- he just seems so up himself its unbelievable.
Lucifer_666

He would just repeatedly ask you the same question over and over    though I suppose you could flick him  
big aundy

well out of that lot it's between 4 , pulp fiction , raging bull , godfather , andi personally would say empire of the sun , this will be a tough one to call
Emperor Morphetine

Yeah, it's a tough nut to crack isn't it? They should be more specific in these polls I think!
