Mind The Gap: Check Out These Modern Classics On Streaming

So maybe you aren’t a fan of the ~ true classics ~ and tend to err on the side of modern favorites, and you’ve realized there are some you should probably cross off your list. Maybe next I’ll do some genre-specific listing, but until then, here are a bunch of will-be-or-already-kind-of-are classics that you can check out on your basic streaming platforms. My arbitrary cut-off date for this was 1992, because I refuse to consider myself old enough to be a classic.
