When hearing the term “classic film”, one begins to question what exactly makes that film a classic. Is it TIMELESS? If so, what makes it timeless? Does it set the STANDARD? If so, what standard has been set? Is it IRREPLACEABLE? If so, what makes it irreplaceable? The next four posts will answer these questions in detail giving examples from four films that have been catalysts in the evolution of film production. These films are “The Birth of a Nation” (1915), “The Battleship Potempkin” (1925), “Scarface” (1932), and “Bringing Up Baby” (1938).
