I'll say Parasite and Oppenheimer for sure.
For my 3rd I'll say Moonlight but I'm not confident in it, and I think it definitely trails the other 2.

Totally agree on Parasite and Oppy. Went with 12 Years a Slave for the third option, I can see it becoming an "important" classic.

Oppy, Parasite, 12YAS* Oppy in particular because it's last scene sums up a clear arc - like a book more than a movie - but that scene in its irony sums up the irony of the film * 12YAS - a quite great film - is one that is unique because the central character is NOT a captured slave, his experience is somewhat unique - he is not "typical' - he is (was) free ......... and the movie because of that works as a story of all people who are oppressed - homosexuals, females, outsiders in any way.............12YAS like Oppy is a story of irony........it looks more like a Polanski masterpiece (The Pianist) more than it does what people thought it was going to be going in........it seems richer because it is not something we already know from history class.....it is rather a survivalist story......

Oppenheimer and 12 Years a Slave. Fill the Schindler/Gandhi "important historical film" niche.
Birdman is my favorite but it's too weird for most people. The rest of these are by and large not it.

Oppenheimer, Parasite, and EEAAO. I know this board hates it but casuals worship that movie and I'm already seeing indie filmmakers citing it as an influence (lol).

Went with Oppenheimer, Parasite, and Everything Everywhere All at Once. Moonlight and 12 Years a Slave I think also have solid cases.

Yeah, Parasite and Oppy already are... EEAAO certainly has the makings of it. The King's Speech too I think already is - not on MAR but I've heard references and reels and rememberences enough for it in the past several years tbh (unlike Argo let's say which is totally forgotten)... 12 Years a Slave I don't think there's enough passion for it based on what I've seen (not in a Schindler's way either which I sense it's club wants it to) but again I'm not an American...

You don't think Parasite is a classic? We'll see what reputation it has down the line but I thought it was wannabe quirky faux arthouse bullshit that looks at class in a very superficial way.

Went with Oppenheimer, Parasite, and EEAO. 12 Years a Slave is already in the National Film Registry though, so by virtue that will be sought after as well. After that I'd say Birdman and Moonlight have chances as well.
I actually think a lot of non-winners (or even non-nominees) will stand up as classics over some of the winners.

I think by virtue of it being the first (and so far only) foreign language film to cross the barrier and win Best Picture will automatically make it stand out for a long time.

What a terrible lineup. Ouch. I guess Parasite, Moonlight, and EEAAO. Not a fan of any of those but Parasite is extremely well-loved, and both Moonlight and EEAAO were watershed moments.

I feel pretty confident about Oppenheimer and Parasite... they already feel like classics to me lol. Maybe to EEAAO, Birdman, Moonlight, 12 Years a Slave. Slim chance to Spotlight and The King's Speech, because I actually hear people talk about them in real life sometimes. The rest, highly doubt it.

My mans really said I don't like it, so it ain't a classic Part of being a classic is how well something ages not just how it was received in the moment. Obviously given my low opinion of it I'm not expecting it to age well but we'll see. All kinds of things that were furiously acclaimed when they came out end up being irrelevant later.

I find Parasite one of the most overpraised and hyperboled films in the 2010s, but I do think it will remain a classic.
