Directory of Classic Resources

Home > Arts > Movies > Genres > Classic

Classic movies are movies made more than 20 years ago which have stood the test of time, and classic stars are those who appeared in classic films. Focus is primarily on movies made during the "Golden Age" when the Hollywood studio system held sway from the introduction of sound to the late 1950s, but more recent films can also be considered classics if they continue to be viewed and talked about after two decades or more have gone by.
