I’m sure it’s debatable, and it really depends what you like, I’d have thought.

Other films on Plex which may or may not be classics but hey, it was nice to see them there: A Chinese Ghost Story, Ball of Fire, Labyrinth, Hard Boiled, The Last Unicorn, Meet John Doe, Ip Man, Life of Brian, The Gold Rush, Chungking Express, Charade, The Last Command, Heathers, My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Turner Classic Movies taught me everything’s classic if you wait long enough

I just never thought i'd see someone say the consider Silver Linings Playbook to a classic, I'm happy that you do. It's a good movie.

I think that’s fair. It is a good movie - one of the best of both Lawrence’s and Cooper’s careers.

I’m struck by how a lot of these movies were on HBO last month. Just shows how a little bit of patience means you can pay a lot less on streaming and still get a great selection of movies to watch versus paying monthly to have a breadth of services.

Eh 15 bucks a month is worth it to me to not sit through 3 min ad breaks and see first run films and shows right out of the theater.

We've been watching a lot of classic horror lately...and it is really dissapointing how few are on the four major streaming services that we have (D+, Prime, Netflix, HBO). Streaming just keeps getting worse - you are paying more for less. My spouse and I were musing the other day that our neighborhood could use a good video store...
