The 20th century is filled of cinematic classics that will endure for future generations, including masterpieces like Orson Welles’ Citizen Kane and Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Shining. However, since time is money and many films from the previous decade are already considered classics, Voting on which contemporary films will be regarded as classics in the future has been taking place over on IMDb.
1. Inception (2010)
Director- Christopher Nolan
Dom Cobb is a master thief. The best there is at the risky art of extraction, stealing priceless secrets from the depths of the subconscious during the dream state. When the mind is most open to manipulation. In this dangerous new world of corporate espionage, Cobb’s exceptional talent has made him a sought-after player. But it has also made him a wanted man on the worldwide stage. Hence, cost him everything he has ever loved. A second shot at redemption is now being offered to Cobb. If he can pull off the seemingly impossible, conception, one final assignment could give him his life back.
Cobb and his group of experts have to carry off the opposite theft rather than the ideal one. Instead of stealing ideas, it is their job to germinate new ones. Possibly the ideal crime, if they are successful. The team, however, cannot be prepared for the lethal foe. It appears to anticipate their every move by any amount of careful planning or expertise. Only Cobb could have predicted the arrival of this enemy.
