is if it stands the test of time. The Godfather, Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and It's A Wonderful Life all accomplish that, and therefore are truly excellent films.
Predictions for the future? Star Wars (the originals, at least) will of course stand it, but they don't count right now as they are making new ones and it kinda redefines itself (albeit poorly).
I personally feel the Shawshank Redemption and American Beauty will probably last. If not, it's a damn shame.
