What are some timeless movies that still hold up today? (retrofed.com)

What are some movies that are still amazing, even if you watch it now? Think movies that don't have sexist or similarly awful jokes that have aged poorly, with special effects that are still wonderful, and characters you can still relate with. Movies old and new are equally awesome :D

It is in every way although it's a hard sell for an audience now post smartphone to sit down and just watch 20 minutes of chanting on an open empty road before anything else happens.

Yes, well I noticed on rewatch. It has one of the longest slow starts. It's for effect to set a mood but I don't think it's a problem of you skip a few minutes until you get to the dialogue.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is the same too.
