Did you see Teen Wolf Too? No?
Well, I’ll save you the bother. It was similar to werewolf-beats-bullies-and-falls-in-love flick Teen Wolf, but with no discernible storyline and the subtle exclusion of Michael J. Fox. It was awful. IMDb gave it a score of 3.2 and that was being generous. Needless to say, the movie is not considered a classic.

However, some of its peers are classics. Eighties blockbusters like Aliens and Dirty Dancing are probably being shown today on one of the myriad channels your television or device has access to. Works of literature like Romeo and Juliet and The Great Gatsby still sell in the thousands, despite being free on the internet. So, why do some works of art have an unlimited shelf life, while others go straight to DVD?
