This is just a curiosity thread, and not going to put it in movie talk, because it is more of a question that just can be answered by anyone.
What makes a movie a classic? Why are these older 80's 90's themed movies becoming huge money making themes in 2022?
My theory, is it touches on "connecting", it is about the characters. It has nothing to do with the effects, or the fact that it is a story revisited. It is written by people or copied by people that understand that connecting characters is what people want to see and feel. I may be out of my depth on this, but nobody has been really wondering what Maverick has been up to (or the special effects today), they have been wondering where that human connection is from the 80's...Right?
Vague thought, but I think that is what is brining back these 80s and 90s hits, not because the stories worked then, but because they were written with feeling. I know a lot of you will say "no shit" where have you been, but it hasn't dawned on me until now.
So who are making the new classics in 2022? What are the new classics? Who can't get enough of the next chapter in the character's stories you see today?
Thanks for the simple post, but why do we have to make remakes in movies, or old themed ideas in movies to be box office hits in 2022?
