All-Time Classics vs Modern Masterpieces in Cinema

What separates modern classics from all-time classics?

In this video, Eshay breaks down the criteria for greatness in cinema as he compares all-time classics and modern masterpieces when it comes to cinema, to decide which is better.

Let's explore the shifting standards of filmmaking and examine why certain films earn the title of modern classics immediately, while others must survive the test of time to become all-time classics. We assess whether the quality of recent cinema genuinely stacks up against historical giants. But also whether some all-time classics are genuinely great, or if we're blinded by nostalgia and trying to "respect" what came before.
