11 Classic Movies People Think Aged Like Fine Wine

Orlando Bloom as Legolas in 2001's The Lord Of The RingsWe’ve written before at HuffPost UK about the sitcoms that stood the test of time (and the ones that really, really didn’t).And in Reddit’s r/movies forum, user u/Bluntfeedback asked people to share “movies that aged like fine wine” too. “What older movie (20+ years) do you think has aged like fine wine and is even more impressive when watched today?” they asked members of the forum. Here are some of the most upvoted responses: 1) The Truman Show (1998) Credit: u/DC_32“Watching it now, you’d think it was riffing off the concept of Big Brother and other shows when it was accidentally predicting them all instead,” u/TheAlmightyTapir added. 2) The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring (2001)Credit: u/DilemmasOnScreen“Had a conversation with my girlfriend recently about how Lord of the Rings feels like it’s going to be timeless because the stakes of the story feel so real and personal,” u/CpttPatches agreed.“Strip away the fantasy elements, and it’s still at its core a story of regular guys having to do something huge, terrifying, and potentially futile, not because they have a grand destiny to it, but because someone has to do it. And that just feels much more moving.”3) Jurassic Park (1993)Credit: u/Scorpio-green“Animatronic art at its peak, we will never witness it again,” the user enthused. “And its CGI still holds good to this day.” “The ‘Welcome to Jurassic Park’ still gives me goose bumps,” u/mhoner also wrote. “It’s such an amazing scene. 30 years later, it still looks so real.” 4) Predator (1987)Credit: u/DarthRheys“For me, the best action movie ever made. No bullshit, just high voltage testosterone, weapons of grass destruction and the best one liners I have ever heard, including one improvised by Arnie: ‘Stick around’,” one fan of Predator commented.Redditor u/Kcorp added: “One aspect that gets overlooked is that it starts off as a basic 80s dumb action flick, with one-liners and huge explosions, but then it slows down. Expectations are subverted successfully. The hunters become the hunted, and it slowly turns into more of a horror/slasher.”5) Alien (1979) Credit:u/Santa_Hates_You“Alien, a 46-year-old film, still looks better than anything current. There is just something to it that makes it timeless,” u/hydnusyg replied.6) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)Credit: u/gatorpaid“It’s just so good,” u/DoggyDoggy_What_Now wrote. “I chuckle at all the one-liners because of how iconic they’ve become, but you can see there’s a reason for it. They’re all great. The movie is incredible.” 7) Enemy Of The State (1998)Credit: u/mtmaloneyPleading the film’s case, they said: “27 years ago, it was considered over the top and a bit heavy-handed with all the government surveillance and the technology shown in the film. I feel like it’s aged extremely well.”8) Gladiator (2000)Credit: u/Easy_Low7140“Particularly for those who have just seen Gladiator II as a modern comparison.” 9) The Fifth Element (1997)Credit:u/Anthony_yager“It still has a great look.”10) Blade Runner (1982)Credit:u/artpayne“For me, it set the standard of what is possible with competent direction and a restrained studio,” u/Initial_Savings3034 agreed. “It was an unfortunate flop at the box office, but it’s a reference for so much popular art that followed.”11) The Matrix (1999)Credit: u/danimation88“It’s crazy that the first Matrix looks better than the fourth Matrix,” u/picador10 responded.Do you have anything to add?
