Five Perfect Movies

That middle one was a joke, right? Just to see if we’re really paying attention? Right? Please say yes. :slight_smile:

I struggle to think of too many perfect movies. Even many of the greatest movies have a flaw. Pulp Fiction is a magnificent movie but it drags a bit in the middle. That’s a flaw. Saving Private Ryan is a wonderful film with a few script issues. The Thing is one of my favourite movies ever, but the scene with MacReady SAYING no one trusts anyone should be replaced with a scene of people demonstrably not trusting each other. It’s a tiny flaw, but it’s a flaw.

The Godfather is flawless.
Silence of the Lambs.
No Country for Old Men.
Moonlight.

I can think of no flaws with these films.

63

Godfather
Casablanca
Maybe, the Wizard of Oz
Maybe, It’s a Wonderful Life

My 5th would be: This is Spinal Tap.

64

Sisu
Sanjuro
The Emperor’s New Groove
Collateral
Galaxy Quest

65

In no particular order (they are all perfect after-all)

  • Brazil
  • The Big Lebowski
  • The Matrix (first movie only)
  • Harold and Maude
  • Airplane!

(I could list a few more but these are my five)

66

Don’t yuck people’s yums - Top Gun: Maverick is a pitch-perfect action movie.

My top 5 (for now):
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Jaws
Godfather II
North by Northwest
Inception

67

I just remembered another I’d prefer on my list but I put my five in. Curse you OP! {{shakes fist}}

68
  1. Twelve Angry Men.
  2. No Country for Old Men.
  3. Pulp Fiction.
  4. Goodfellas.
  5. The Shining.

Honorable mentions: Cloud Atlas, The Irishman.

69

No joke. Top Gun: Maverick contains perfect scene after perfect scene. The movie works flawlessly on the audience. Perfect popcorn entertainment should not be dismissed.

But swap it out with Chinatown if you’d like! No argument here.

70

I’ve watched it dozens of times, never tire of it!

I need to amend my list.

Only lovers left alive Tilda Swinton Tom Hiddleston

71

Blade Runner (the final cut)
Harold And Maude
Death In Venice
True Confessions
Shadowlands
