Call me when a director can make you care enough about their movie so that 30 years later you still wonder who the hell "Rose Bud" is, or your so into characters that you cry when old yeller gets plugged, or you feel real fear for your character when Darth Vader starts blasting his buddies left right and center and he's next.
These big name directors have gotten lazy and you don't feel attached to movies anymore.

Transformers and a reference to Citizen Kane should never be in the same thread, let alone the same post.
You make it sound like the classics were the rule and not the exception. There used to be a fair share of crap released back then as well. Classics like the one you listed above come every once in 5000 movies.
In 30 years, we're going to be talking about Shawshank, probably the best example of a modern day classic that I can think of.
