What is the cut-off year (+/- 3 years) for a movie to be deemed a \"classic\" in your eyes?\
\
For me, it was 1977. That was the year Star Wars was released. Most movies before then seem noticeably old-fashioned, whereas most movies made after 1977 seem \"modern\". (Although 1980\'s movies have their own distinctive \"look\".)
