What makes a film "classic"?

Java's Journey has no set definition for "classic." It merely has the general criteria that the film discussed can be any movie that was released at some point before the '70s. We occasionally give honorary classic film status to a newer film.

Java freely interchanges the words "film" and "movie?" Doesn't the former indicate a movie of merit and the latter just a movie?

In the grand scheme of life, they are all "just movies."

Why the name Java Bean Rush?

It's an old internet joke that has nothing to do with enjoying coffee.
