What will be "those" movies for this generation

[Brent M]

I think some of the Marvel movies(The Avengers, Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) will definitely stand the test of time as well as Batman Begins/The Dark Knight, the first two Spider-Man movies by Raimi, anything from Tarantino or Scorcese and plenty of other stuff I can't think of off the top of my head.

Now by classics, I'm not talking Citizen Kane or Casablanca. I'm talking those movies that it seems every young male from my generation holds near and dear. Some examples would be Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, Superman, etc.

Do you see any movies out there now or from the last few years, that in 20 years or so our kids will hold just as dear?

Like some have said, that's too far out, they haven't been made yet.

The Millennials have had a good batch of films, a lot from Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, and Evan Golberg, Freaks and Geeks sort of built their version of the Brat Pack and then added as they went. Of course there are others Juno, Napoleon Dynamite, etc. This era is now coming to an end making This is the End a fitting title.

The first 9-11 kids are now turning into teenagers so we'll see start to see the new era begin. I'm sure there are already a few that would fit the bill for them (which they are watching before they should) but right now Dope seems like one that would fit the bill. It's not meant for me but when I first saw the ads I couldn't help but feel like it could be special for some.
