20 Recent Movies That Will Be Remembered for Decades

If you ask any rando for a list of the best films of all time, it’s probably going to skew old. Citizen Kane. The Godfather. Even The Dark Knight is considered pretty old at this point, and who would have thought that a silly little superhero movie would end up being one of the GOATs? People were definitely skeptical way back in 2008. That’s the advantage of time: Public opinion is settled. There’s not going to be a reappraisal of Bio-Dome that proves it unappreciated in its time.

But that can mean it’s hard to know when a modern classic is punching you in the face. A movie that sweeps the summer box office could be forgotten by fall, or it could be Jurassic Park. There’s just no way to tell what we’ll remember until we can remember, but we can always try. That’s why user uncertainty_critical asked r/AskReddit, “What film released within the last decade can be considered a masterpiece?”
