Specifically movies that still hold up now. I'm sitting here watching The Negotiator and notice it's from 1998. It doesn't have the feel of a movie almost 20 years old. In comparison, I always will watch Enemy of the State when it's on but admit it feels a little outdated. I know a thread like this shows up once in awhile, couldn't find the most recent one.

Most movies from the '70s and '80s have a certain vibe - I will single out Goodfellas, which itself was a period piece which helps, but is so influential for similar movies (and Marty is generally pretty influential on younger filmmakers) - and it holds up really well for a movie pushing 30 years old.

Tarantino, who must consider himself from the school of Marty, also make a couple of pretty timeless pics in Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction - hard to imagine those movies are both a quarter century old.

Casino is still GOAT as far as I'm concerned. That movie is pure perfection.

Over Goodfellas, you're crazy.

I rewatch it when I need to record one show, but I want to watch another.
