A Classic?

Ben claims every movie he owns is "a classic" film.  I think everyone has their own definition of what makes a film a classic, but for film to be a classic most people should agree that it is classic or at least understand why some people would consider it a classic.

Shortly after having this discussion, Ben made the mistake of buying Tron.  I say mistake because I was forced to watch it.  The movie started out incredibly weird and not very good, and it just kept getting worse as the movie progressed.  If you haven't heard of Tron I would argue that is a vote against it being a classic.  If you have heard of it, I hope you didn't have to watch it.

Maybe Ben can try explaining what makes this movie a classic.  I think it was something about early special effects.

So...do you think Tron is a classic film?

I have never heard of Tron. But maybe he never heard of Fraggle Rock. I don't know anything about Tron but it sounds kinda Star Wary. I think I'd prefer Fraggle Rock, by the way they are making a movie of Fraggle Rock and thy meet humans. 2011. Now that is a classic!!!!

Red guy/Blue guy! Honestly, never wanted to see it...must not be that classic.
However, I do have this to say...
"Dance your cares away! Worries for another day! Let the music play! Down at Fraggle Rock!"
Theme song = instant classic.

You have too seen Tron!!!! Dad made us watch it, I hate it, think it is a dumb movie. I think it has that one actor from Michigan in it.
