Time is certainly important. No matter how popular in theaters or on streaming, nothing released in 2026 will be called a classic for at least a decade or two (at least not without a qualifier like “instant” thrown into the mix). Quality also matters; nobody callsGigliorBattlefield Earth a classic(at least not without a qualifier like “so-bad-its-good” thrown into the mix).Awards help too, at least insofar as they help build consensus among viewers.

One thing thatdoesn’tmake a movie a classic, somewhat paradoxically, is howmany tickets it sells in theaters.

Box Office Total: $71.2 million

Warner Bros. had high hopes for The Nice Guys. They got Shane Black, one of the godfathers of the buddy action comedy, to craft a new one for the perfectly mismatched pair of Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. It was full of quips, stunts, and a smattering of old-school sex appeal. Somewhat inexplicably, the movie bombed, grossing just $36 million in U.S. theaters. In the years since, it’s become a favorite on streaming —just try to find a recent list of “Movies That Deserve Sequels” that doesn’t include The Nice Guys. You can’t do it.
