JamesJazGuitar Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Ok that definition isn't vague but "Appeals to a majority of people" is NOT how I would define 'classic' but instead popular. Classic has a time element as part of the meaning (which is why some use the term 'instant classic' which to me is bogus, but I rant). Here is what I found on the web and to me a better definition of classic: Belonging to the highest rank or class. Serving as the established model or standard: a classic example of colonial architecture. Having lasting significance or worth; enduring. Adhering or conforming to established standards and principles: a classic piece of research. Of a well-known type; typical: a classic mistake. Of or characteristic of the literature, art, and culture of ancient Greece and Rome; classical. *** Using the definition you provided a song that was released last week that was a 'hit' would be a classic but using the one I found it wouldn't be a classic until it was 'enduring' (of course it is subjective how long something has to be around to be 'enduring' but it wouldn't be a week or a year or even a decade in my view). Anyhow since we both found very different definitions of 'classic' to me that means the meaning of the term is all over the place (i.e. means different things to different people) define 'classic'. This is why some have said TCM should change it's name to something like: TSM - Tunner Studio Era movies. This has meaning to those that understand movie history and I believe how the majority of those at this website define 'classic' as it relates to movies. Yes, give me Gable over 99% of the stars in the last 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Fred, I really need to say this. There are times when you come very close to "going over the edge," as they say, in your replies. Unfortunately, this is one of the times when you have not only come close, but with several links to hooker costumes you have jumped right over into boobyhatchland. Fred, get a grip.

FredCDobbs Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 > {quote:title=filmlover wrote:}{quote} > boobyhatchland. I think it?s odd that this film about a prostitute created a ?fashion? stir in this country, so much so that Sears and Penneys are selling hooker merchandise, and kids in America can now buy ?pimp suits?. Sears sells a brand of shoes called ?Bordello Women?. http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_05468544000P America has become Pottersville, and the film ?Pretty Woman? helped make it that way.

fxreyman Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 *America has become Pottersville, and the film ?Pretty Woman? helped make it that way.* You get out much Fred? From comments like these I would think that you often visit the more seedy parts of big cities and the like. Or is it just your frequent visits to modern film that sets you off. From where I call home I would have to disagree with you on that statement. As far as Pretty Woman's fashion statement here is one take on it: According to InOut Star.com, *Pretty Woman is like the Bible of the modern working woman, when it comes to fashion. The transformation of the uneducated prostitute into the high-society lady through some of the world's most stunning clothes - the day-at-the-races polka dot ensemble and the Cerutti red gown, for example - have made every woman dream about romances like that. A woman's ascension to power was made through love and style and that was what made the film leave its print in numerous fields of activity, including the fashion industry.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred, now you are just being deliberately obtuse. fxreyman just meant that the Beverly Hills rich outfits she wears is the fashion bible for women...not the hooker outfits.

Besides the bad parenting, the boy in adult life will sure treat women with low respect. I still remembered that website that showed kids in a school play putting on a mock Al Pacino "Scarface" play. Man has schools ever changed since I went. The movie "Little Miss Sunshine" was an eye opener. The fact parents do let their kids do outragous stuff just to get noticed is very unsettling. That little girl *was* a tramp on stage. Remember what Oprah Winfrey said about mothers "wh___ing their daughters". That was the most truthfull thing ever said.

hamradio Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 lzcutter thanks for the reminder. I deleted one and did a word edit on another. My comment on LMS is only saying whats wrong with some of our parents and kids and the impact such films have on them. We can only hope TCM don't air "Showgirls" in the future.

That?s a lot different from the explicitness in ?Pretty Woman?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
