The Godfather (crime)
Memento (twisty)
The Court Jester (slapstick comedy)

[Mona]

Back To The Future

 

[Baked Pigeon]

[Sanctuary]

What movies would you consider to be absolutely perfect? Not a single flaw that weighs them down?

For me, my list would be

Star Wars: A New Hope
The Empire Strikes Back
Ghostbusters (1984)
Back to the Future
Terminator 2
Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan
Jurassic Park
Home Alone
Men In Black
The Avengers
The Dark Knight
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Aladdin (1992)
The Lion King (1994)
Sunset Boulevard
Casablanca


To name but a few.

Good list, although I don't entirely agree with The Avengers. That has more to do with the way the Hulk is rendered more than anything though, but I always found it distracting. Also, despite The Dark Knight being one of my favorite films, it's not flawless at all, and Heath Ledger is primarily the reason I watch it.

I would add:

Jaws
Alien
Aliens
The Matrix
The Thing (1982)
Halloween (1978)
Gremlins
Robocop
Total Recall
Evil Dead 2
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Princess Mononoke
A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
It Follows
Pulp Fiction
Kill Bill vol 1
Seven
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Fugitive
The Fifth Element
Disctrict B13
Casino Royale (2006)
Guardians of the Galaxy (this is the real best "Marvel" movie)
Captain America: The Winter Soldier
LOTR trilogy - theatrical editions (I watch the extended versions, but not everything about them is great)
The Raid Redemption
Upgrade

 

[Firima]

Pan's Labyrinth
Take Shelter
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Casino
Defending Your Life
Back to the Future
Gravity

 

[Halbrand]

There Will Be Blood

 

[Nakadai]

I'm a very picky person. It drives people nuts. There are hardly any films I'd call perfect. Off the top of my head.

A Man for All Seasons
Come and See
Ran
Raging Bull
Harakiri
Apocalypse Now

But there are many films that aren't perfect that could be considered better than some of those above, based on the overpowering strength of certain moments, scenes, performances, etc.

 

[Rhomega]

The Road to El Dorado
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Terminator 2: Judgment Day
The Back to the Future Trilogy
Rocky
12 Angry Men
The Iron Giant
Ghostbusters
Home Alone
Toy Story 2
Star Wars
Beavis & Butthead Do America

 

[Einchy]

The only perfect movie is Kill Bill.

 

[blame space]

michael clayton

 

[Artdayne]

Goodfellas is a perfect film.

 

[Browser]

There will be blood
Memento
500 days of summer
Under the skin

 

[Hugare]

Gattaca
Oldboy
In Bruges
Children of Men

I've recently watched In Bruges again agter some years, and damn, the movie is just perfect

Perfect acting, soundtrack, script

There are SO many little details that comes together in the end.

 

[Huey]

Very few, even amongst my favourite films. I think No Country for Old Men would fit the bill.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

Watched No Country for Old Men last week. Did not expect to stay engaged so much throughout the whole thing. Everyone played their roles perfectly. The lack of music really sucks you in. Anton is one of the most intense villains I've seen.

 

[Joliet Jake]

Fargo

 

[VAD]

There are obviously others but the one on top of my head is The Prestige.

Spoiler

The damn movie is a magic trick!

 

[Soap]

Hmm gonna go with a few Pixar choices here. Toy Story 2 and Finding Nemo.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Steven Spielberg's West Side Story is seriously perfect
