Your movie has been around since 1995 so I would certainly think enough people have viewed it to make it a classic. I think the classic movie title is how it affects the person who saw the movie and how much it stayed with you. I don't know your movie at all and would be interested in hearing more from you and how it affected you. Personally, I am still amazed at the power of Bogart's movies, especially African Queen, Treasure of Sierra Madras, and his others. They will always be classics for me due to the nature of the story and for his acting abilities. Yankee Doodle Dandy is highly rated as a classic, but I did not care for it at all. So classic is in the eye of the beholder.
Love the Humphrey Bogart movies you mentioned along with The Caine Mutiny.
