What films from 2017 do you think will be well remembered in 10 years?

[department store basement]

I don't go on this board much anymore, but I do these every year and I feel like it's right about time now.

 

Answer away!

[That One Girl]

Lmao including BATB on there gave me a laugh

 

Picked Baby Driver, Blade Runner, CMBYN, Coco, Dunkirk, Get Out, Greatest Showman, It, Lady Bird, Logan, Shape of Water, Last Jedi, Apes and Wonder Woman

[filmlover]

The Shape of Water will be known as "that fish-fucking movie that won Best Picture" until the end of time. Get Out will also definitely have a legacy to it.

 

Call Me by Your Name and Lady Bird are bound to be classics in the LBGTQ and teen genres, respectively. We're bound to see parodies of the Three Billboards for several years too.

 

Jumanji will be remembered for its inexplicable box office run. Fun movie, but the fact it made over $400M is pretty mind-boggling.

Yaaaas. An enduring legacy!!

 

The MCU and Star Wars movies have the advantage of an existing fan bases. People will still be watching them in ten years. Those IPs are not going away.  Same goes for Coco being Pixar. For the non Disney films, I selected:

 

- The Shape of Water for the reason quoted

 

- Wonder Woman for her cultural significance.  Wonder Wonder is an icon. She isn’t going anywhere.

 

- Get Out, because it is the best horror movie of the past decade. 

 

And even though I didn’t pick it, I want to give a shout out to TGS. I was at a drag show last weekend, and “This Is Me” was performed TWICE. The movie might fade, but that ear worm is going NOWHERE.

Everyone of those. 10 years is a short time to forget something specially franchise movies. BATB will be remembered cos it made billion $s. People even remember alice in wonderland. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Get Out feels like the most obvious choice

[SLAM!]

I voted for quite a few films here: 2017 was a phenomenally goos year for the medium, and I think a lot of classics will be picked from the year.

 

I checkmarked 'Other' because I think A Silent Voice will become quintessential anime film among the community. Granted, it's not hard for an anime film that breaks out among the community to at least be remembered for a long time, because as far as anime films breaking out (or even coming out at all), there's only so many coming out at a given time. But the film is certainly an excellent one; I see the community remembering it because of its quality and its close relation (timewise) to a big anime hit, Your Name, and another acclaimed choice, In This Corner of the World.

When it comes to this query, I usually ask myself two questions: Will it hold up years later, and will it still have relevance in pop culture and/or in film fan circles?

 

Baby Driver: Will be an enduring cult film at the very least, and something film bros will push onto their friends.

Blade Runner 2049: Same camp. It'll probably follow its predecessor's suit, and be a cult film adored by its small fanbase. But this one will probably be more popular than Baby Driver, on account that it doesn't have Kevin Spacey.

Coco: Pixar's biggest critical hits almost always stay relevant with kids and adults decades later. This will too.

Dunkirk: A part of Nolan's filmography, with critical acclaim to boot.

Get Out: A 2017 film that defined what the culture was like at that time, made a lot of money, acclaimed by everybody, etc. It'll probably be like ET or Star Wars, where people will whine "WHY DIDN'T THIS WIN BEST PICTURE?"

Greatest Showman: Even though it might not age very well (It arguably came out way too late in today's #woke times), musicals have insane longevity to them. This will probably get a Broadway adaptation, later be performed in schools, and be in a bunch of family households, as well as one of the defining slumber party movies for girls.

Guardians of the Galaxy 2: Being in the MCU and a popular franchise, it'll still be strongly liked, although I don't see it having as much of a legacy as the first film.

It: The biggest horror movie of all time? Yeah, it'll be around for a long time.

Jumanji: $400M is steep, and it'll probably get at least two more sequels, and might become more well-remembered than the original.

Logan: It's Hugh Jackman's last performance as Wolverine, and it's the big send-off for the first batch of X-Men films...if you ignore Dark Phoenix.

Shape of Water: It'll be known as "The Fish-Fuck Movie" for years, and be known as del Toro's first mainstream success.

Spider-Man: Homecoming: It's in the MCU, and with it having the signature Tom Holland performance of Spidey, it'll have its place among Marvel and geek circles.

TLJ: It's Star Wars. Moving on.

Thor: Ragnarok: Part of MCU, generally considered the best Thor movie and one of the better MCU ones. Moving on.

Three Billboards: Maybe the billboard set pieces will be rememberd more than the actual movie, but it'll still have some pop culture relevance, especially when it comes to politics.

Wonder Woman: Official debut for character, massive hit, well-recieved, basically like Spider-Man '02 for the new generation.

 

I also think All the Money in the World will live on through trivia questions like "Who replaced Kevin Spacey in the 2017 film ATMITW?"

For sure. It's almost certainly always going to hold the record for the shortest amount of time between an actor's casting in a movie and the date they received the Oscar nom for their performance.

[Morieris]

The one I can really see persevering is Greatest Showman.

 

It'll be that film people put on during a holiday with family that grandma claps along too.

[CoolioD1]

Get Out. Blade Runner/Dunkirk for the film nerds out of those. shape of water benefits for being a big awards/critical breakthrough from an auteur people like already. any sort of franchise movie due to those connections (i'm sure we'll all still be ranking MCU movies in ten years). Greatest Showman is gonna show up as a favourite film on dating profiles for years to come.

Not ANY franchise movie. I highly doubt people will remember say Alien Covenant or Pirates 5 ten years from now.

Split will also be trivia question fodder thanks to the ending (which is the only thing anyone remembers about that movie) - "The ending of the movie Split reveals it to be a sequel to which film?"

I'm surprised The Post wasn't included in the poll, regardless of its awards season performance. If ever there was a movie that TNT or whoever gets it will run ad nauseum forever, that's it.

Girls Trip seems like a movie that's going to air a lot on TBS within the next ten years.

they won't be talking about it but being connected to those franchises and likely playing on TV every other day will likely prevent them from being "Forgotten"

Argument could be made for Madagascar 2, Dr Seus and Marley and me is well remembered.

 

Only one MCU entry is somewhat getting forgotten with Lee Hulk because it felt outside of it, being a MCU fully integrated movie make you certain to be remembered for a very long time for example.

I doubt that TBH. TNT/FX/USA et al tend to run films that have more action in them; stuff like Kingsman 2, Kong, Justice League are more their forte. The Post is a Spielberg/Hanks film though, so there's a chance networks will disregard the fact that it's a historical drama just because it has America's most loved director and actor.

Maybe AMC?
