This is well said. I do think there are some ridiculous examples that even in the context of their time period, the decisions were terrible. Do The Right Thing was very highly thought of even upon its initial release, and it wasn't even nominated in a year that saw the white-friendly Driving Miss Daisy win best picture.
Yep, the Oscars get wrong a lot. The public is wrong a lot. It's hard to predict how time will impact perspective on movies.
Oh definitely. After all, Rolling Stone hated Led Zeppelin in 1972, and now several of the band's albums appear on RS's all time greatest albums list.
Yes and looking at the highest charting songs from year to year reveal the public often has terrible taste in music. It's a weird thing though how something can seem so great at the time and totally fall apart in a couple years.
Pop music (and I do enjoy pop music) is ephemeral. It's a duel-edged sword: on one hand, it is easily accessible and instantly likeable, but the more challenging and difficult music is the thing that survives.
I think that is probably true though it is still even more complicated than that. I still think there are some difficult to describe qualities that make one Hot 100 pop song timeless and makes another become cringeworthy.Pop music (and I do enjoy pop music) is ephemeral.

Funny you mention music because the music in Nobody was pretty much perfect and added another layer to the moviePop music (and I do enjoy pop music) is ephemeral.

I liked the music. I didn't find it particularly original, but the tone of the music was a nice, funny contrast to the action on screen.
Agree unfortunately
. Oh my. 
Apt.
That was a movie that aged badly....as I originally sat watching it in the theater.Uh, how much did Speed score in the movie draft?
(It was probably too many points)

Interesting, I will have to rewatch it but when I last saw it 5 or so years ago it was still great. A bit cheesy ofcourse but it's an action movie so that is to be expected.

.. I still enjoy it, but watch it more in the realm of a "Comic Book to Movie" .. It is sooooo over the top with the dialogue at times that you just have to roll with it and laugh..
Yeah, not what I was expecting. Wife was bored. I was waiting for action as well. Ended horribly.
Just finished. Agreed. I mean I enjoyed the hell out of it but I have barely a clue of what happened. I mean I do, but ...uh...
i re-watched the original series before watching the reboot when it first came out, enjoyed it as well - adjusting for lack of surprise factor - and thrilled to the reboot, but STILL couldnt abide Fire Walk With Me
I started the reboot and didn't enjoy it. But so many trusted friends liked the reboot it makes me want to give it another shot.
Floppinhos classmate is in it. I know they filmed all over the hood too. We're all in on this one.
Looked like the same era and I can't imagine you change the songs. How do you come up with better music than WSS? I guess they did scrap the original snappy choreography so who knows, maybe Maria and America will be replaced by new EDM numbers.
I'm not against classics being remade. WSS just seems like such a perfect execution of something that doesn't really translate as is to 2020. You could remake the idea of it with updated music and really modernize it. But to stick with the songs, era and all that, just seems like an impossible bar to clear.
Saw this tonight and loved it. I think I actually liked it better than John Wick. Very well done for a movie in that genre.
There have been some good examples, right?You should be!!
There are some good ones, yes. The Thing is another one.
Yeah, though not sure I would call the original Thing a classic. I like it but it's pretty silly.
