In today’s world, originality is what makes films stand out, and innovation, which forms classics. Personal stories make for the most memorable films. Her is a great example of a timeless story about love and the human condition, rather than a comment on social media and other technologies of today.
Recent classics in my opinion include:
Inception
Django Unchained
Room
Inglorious Basterds
No Country for Old Men
Gladiator
…and many more.

Tarantino is the world’s biggest film buff who also makes films. The effort and passion he puts into his work is so clear in all his films to be maximal, and his style is instantly recognisable; I love ‘Tarantino dialouge,’ and the way he builds tension in seemingly simplistic ways makes for, in my opinion, some of the most entertaining movies ever made.

I enjoy much of Luhrman’s work, and love The Great Gatsby, but i was disappointed by The Get Down. One of my major gripes with it is in fact the hero, i found the character to be extremely one-dimensional, and a number of the performances, including Justice Smith’s, were a little irritating. Lastly, right from the pilot, the show lacked weight; I couldn’t grasp any substance to engage with in the narrative, which featured too many underdeveloped subplots and strands.
