This is happening because many public figures, whether intentionally or not, are choosing edgy classic films to include in their list of four favorite films.

As a result, a number of old films are starting to gain more attention in 2024. This phenomenon is reflected in the trends emerging among users of two leading film review sites, namely Letterboxd and IMDb.
