Andre's thread on the top 1000 films ever is a fantastic read and it's a necessity for anyone like me who needs to be shamed into watching more cinema. It can be found here

Anywaya the discussion has veered into trying to assess what modern films would appear on lists like this in a decade or twos time. Now of course it's impossible to properly gauge the lasting appeal of movies and this is all theoretical but I'm quite interested in what your views are.
For my money I'm still betting on The Fountain getting some love about a decade from now. I think it's going to be one of those movies that gets rediscovered, whilst it's probably not the sort of material you'd usually see in these sort of lists it might make it as something of a wildcard.
I think There Will Be Blood and Assassination of Jesse James are shoe ins for future love. I think Daniel Day-Lewis's performance and the iconography of the film is going to gurantee it a lot of love and I see Jesse James becoming a film that stays with people and slowly becomes more and more powerful. It's my favourite film of last year so I certainly hope it gets itself a decent reputation. I think No Country For Old Men might not make these lists, I don't know why I just don't think it fits the canon.
I honestly think I'm Not There and Into The Wild probably have a chance of making the grade .
Foreign Film wise you're bound to get Amelie making impacts in lists. Whilst I dislike certain elements of the film it's one of those movies which has really charmed a lot of critics.
Oldboy is probably a shoe-in but the recent appearance of the Dekalog on lists suggests that future lists might incorporate one of Park Chan-wooks other Vengenace films as well. I'd put money on Mr. trumping Lady.
I think Audition's appearance in Departed kind of represents a growing knowledge of the film and I think once again it'll probably appear on a fair few lists as an outsider choice and I think Infernal Affairs will benefit from being remade.
