When I said "no vintage classic," however, I was thinking of something from the studio era. Sometimes I feel like many contemporary moviegoers think that anything earlier than 'Jaws' and 'Star Wars' is ancient cinematic history.

I don't know. Jaws is almost a 35-year-old movie at this point, so I'd consider it a classic. There may be no hard and fast rule on this, but it does make me wonder: how old does a movie need to be before it can be considered a "classic?" (Just as a reference point, here's something to consider: Jaws is now 33 yrs old. When it came out, surely people would've considered a 33 year old movie like Casablanca a classic, wouldn't they?)
