Today.com/Today Show's 30 Classic Movies to Watch on Your Journey to Become a Film Buff

"What makes a classic film? That depends on who you ask. For the approximately 120-year history of feature moviemaking, the stories most of us know to be classics have told particular stories about particular individuals. In recent years, modern films with greater diversity in all areas have begun adding to the pantheon, which means in another generation this list might look very different than it does today. Do some of these films included have problematic sections? Yes, indeed; but at this stage, they're still part of the modern conversation. Thirty years from now, who knows? For now, taking a cue from TCM host Dave Karger and some tips from AFI, we've assembled 30 of the best classic films of all time you should have under your belt, and capped our list at around the mid-1990s. Some are better known than others, but all deserve attention and respect: These are some of the greatest works of art that will never hang in a museum." - today.com
