While it's definitely a partial survivors bias, I can't really name any recent movies that stand out as timeless classics. Avengers Onfinity War/Endgame was a massive point in time, but hardly something to watch endlessly even now. Star Wars is still clinging to movies made nearly 50 years ago. Spider man had a moment being the first post covid movie, but the film isn't memorable. Kingsman has been a great revival of the spy movie genre, but it's not masterpiece level. You could make a case for The Dark Knight, but it's easily just as memorable due to Ledger's death than the film's quality.

Don't know if we're counting animated movies but I feel like the Spiderverse movies will be a timeless classic.

Id say it has a chance, I'm not sure it stands up to peak Pixar levels, but it does a great job telling a story while honoring comics in general.

They already are, and heavily influenced animation studios everywhere. Even in Japan, the land of god-tier animation, some studios learned a lot from Spiderverse.

Lighthouse, Good Time, Hereditary, The Vvitch to name a few.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

I only watched it due to internet hype making me curious enough to check it out. If anyone reading this still hasn't seen it: Just do it. Trust an internet stranger and just jump blindly into it. Do it. You will not regret it.

The Vvitch

Wait was it actually really good? I saw its advertising everywhere, but I don't think I ever heard anyone actually see it and want to talk about it.

I agree, helps when VVitch and Lighthouse are same director though

The first Dune movie was pretty good imo
