New classics according to Entertainment Weekly

I am a sucker for a great magazine. Where else can you find diverse and applicable information? I love Real Simple the most, but also enjoy a good Oprah, People, Us or Mary Englebriet Home Companion. Honestly, there is hardly a magazine I won't read.
So, imagine my happy feelings when I saw this in the mail.

The New Classics--Entertainment Weekly (I would show you the cover but it isn't released online yet.)

Which films released in the past 25 years stand with the all-time greats? We've already counted down 75; here's the best of the best — see why ''Shrek,'' ''Rushmore,'' and ''Titanic'' made the cut -- and see our No. 1 New Classic

If you like lists, you should check it out here--

Its fun to figure out what you agree and disagree with!! The list out the top 100 movies, tv shows, books, music and theatre.

Here is what they listed is the Top 50 movies--quite interesting!! It also helps to read their comments to find out why they picked what they did. Most of the time, this movie was the first of its kind or defined a new genre. Any you agree with or totally disagree? There are several that I haven't seen!!
