I think of all those the most lasting film will be Social Network, if only as a "documentation" of the times we're living in. and yes, i know it took liberties with the truth, ha.
I often wonder if this will be true or not. Let's say that facebook becomes obsolete in 10 years (probably wont but for arguments sake). Then 10 years after that will people that weren't there for the rise and peak popularity of facebook really be able to identify at all with this movie? Would they even be able to follow it as coherently as we were able to?

I'm looking at it as a historical movie, and I'd hope the future can relate to the events the same way i relate to the civil war movies. i wasn't there, but i find them interesting. or even movies like traffic and blow, i wasn't aware of the drugs in the 80's (mostly because i was a child at the time, ha) but i can watch them and see what that life was like.
and cdawg, true story on Toy Story 3...just remembered that should have been my answer to the "last movie you cried at" thread from last week, ha.

You don't need to know shite about Facebook to understand that movie. Hell, it's not really even about Facebook; it's about the lawsuit which was about money and passion both of which are timeless. Now they may not understand why Facebook was such a big deal, but that is true for a lot historical topics. It was a good story that will stand.
Of the movies that I've seen, I would put it in the top 3 with the King's Speach and Toy Story 3. I haven't seen True Grit and I won't see 127 hrs. I know the 127 story and it's something I don't need to see regardless of how good. Wish I knew more about Black Swan before I saw it, because I wouldn't have seen that either.
