I consider it to be one.
Raise your glasses, please, into a toast, for we are many hometown ghosts.

The reason I think its not quite an "American Classic" is because its a movie person's/buff/expert/ movie. This movie has rave reviews etc but most those people are people who study film and want to go and follow a great story with great characters which this has. Hence why you see it in some film school's but most people stumble upon this movie from another movie buff or from you looking for great movies. Not because its a blockbuster or had huge stars or anything. But his is just my great opinion.

I didn't realise until tonight that this film influenced a few of Sam Mendes' films, such as American Beauty and Road to Perdition.
For anyone interested, he did a great interview on his thoughts about the film:

Interesting stuff, thanks. I agree with his assessment of Harry Dean Stanton's performance. Stanton and Kinski were magical. Its a shame that those performances aren't widely known and appreciated.

I love the fact that Wenders wasn't keen on the role going to Stanton and yet he did such a fantastic job with the film. Very underrated actor.

It is honestly one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.
