Movies you consider perfect.

The Terminator
RoboCop
Predator
Nausicaa
Warriors of the Wasteland

Those are five examples of movies I consider to be absolutely perfect. Nothing -- nothing -- could improve upon them and I never, ever, get tired of them.

What are some of yours?

Certainly not many:

Chinatown

Blade Runner

Apocalypse Now Redux

Spirited Away

Robocop

The outlaw Josey Whales

Conan the Barbarian

Cop

2001

Unforgiven

The bulk of my favourite list are movies that are *almost* perfect, like Minority Report, LA Confidential or most Eastwood westerns.

Jaws
Halloween

Star Wars (the original -- it could stand by itself, without the sequels/prequels/nightquels)

King Kong
A Night at the Opera
The Producers
Casablanca (yeah, yeah, I know, but there's a reason it wins all those damn polls!)

Night of the Living Dead
The Godfather

The only one that springs to mind is the Godfather and Jaws. Both are flawless, or as close to it as possible. The Godfather isn't really a favorite of mine though.

Since humans are not perfect....and films are made by humans.....no film is perfect.

There are imperfections in every movie. No exceptions.

My list of "near perfect" movies includes:

THE GODFATHER
THE GODFATHER, PART II
CASABLANCA
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
BEN-HUR
TAXI DRIVER
THE FRENCH CONNECTION
THE MAN WHO SHOT LIBERTY VALANCE
SHANE

The Wizard of Speed and Time

-------ooo-'U'-ooo-------Kilroy was here.

Vermin Boy · July 03, 2003, 11:47:20 PM

Pee-Wee's Big Adventure.

Also, not really the same thing, but Plan 9 From Outer Space is the "perfect" b-movie.

Silence of the lambs

The castle of cagliostro

Army of darkness( ultimate B flick :D, IMO)

The Terminator

X-2

Fight Club-By far the best film in my collection. A strange story with a strange nameless hero. Great stuff!

Se7en-Can anyone see that I like Fincher's stuff?

American Beauty-Awesome film. I was AMAZED by this film when it first came out. Love, hate, humor, heart.

Bowling For Columbine-I can honestly say this film is perfect. Having been a Michael Moore fan for years, this flick is his crowning achievment. Moore can perfectly mix humor with scenes of desperation and pain like no other.

Ghost World-Saw this film about a year ago when it first came out on DVD. Watched it last night and remembered just how great it was. Not exactly perfect, more near perfect.

It Happened One Night
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Duck Soup
A Night at the Opera
Casablanca
Bridge on the River Kwai

In my humble opinion

Movies you consider perfect.
