10 'Rotten' Films That Will Eventually Be Viewed As Classics

7. I'm Still Here

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 53% Why It'll Be Re-Assessed As A Classic: I'm Still Here, while hardly bad enough to be considered 'rotten' (it's watchable at worst, slyly comedic at best), is admittedly no masterwork. It can occasionally be as indulgent as the idea of two Hollywood stars making an in-joke mockumentary would suggest, while debutante director Casey Affleck's immaturity behind the camera shows just a little too often. Why will people still be discussing I'm Still Here years from now, then? It's not just because Joaquin Phoenix is brilliant (as a beardy, hip-hop version of himself, granted) in it; I'm Still Here is a wholly original meta movie, skewering modern obsessions with fame and celebrity, and one that paved the way for actors like James Franco and Shia LaBeouf turning themselves into the art projects. There may never have been a movie featuring such a committed performance - Phoenix literally lived his life pretending to have gone crazy for over a year, in public - and there has rarely been something made that obscures the line between fiction and reality this effectively over the last decade. So while I'm Still Here isn't perfect, it remains a distinctive, eccentric document that will be studied for years to come.
