Once Upon A Time In The West
Blue Velvet The Thing ... three of my "perfect" films, though I know some might object to the latter two. |
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. When I feel like characters are my friends, something must've been done really really well.
Also the original Dawn of the Dead is about as perfect as a zombie film gets. Hell, the comment about the two Linklater films applies here too. |
Barry Lyndon
Taxi Driver Casablanca That will be all gentlemen. |

My trilogy of perfect movies:
The Godfather Vertigo Casablanca |
As cliche as it is, and I know a lot of people nowadays consider it "overrated" or whatnot, but I consider "Vertigo" to be the most "perfect" movie. After eight or nine viewings it still never fails to leave me in awe (or something like that.)
But I wouldn't ever judge someone's intelligence by something as subjective as their taste in movies. |
I was beat to a couple of these:
SE7EN The Royal Tenenbaums & Rushmore Would like to add: Alien (1st one) The Iron Giant Spirited Away The Wages of Fear & while I recognize that these two aren't perfect for all, I love them both as much as any technically perfect film: Ghost in the Shell 1 & 2. It's like that Holly Hunter line in Raising Arizona. "I luh-uh-uh-uh-uuvvvv them sooo much!" |
<b>Field of Dreams
E.T. The Extraterrestrial JFK Goodfellas The Departed ALIENS Witness Ocean's 11(2001)</b> |
I can't believe we've gone through two pages and haven't hit upon THE perfect movie:
2001: A Space Odyssey. |
I don't understand the love for Aliens. Maybe it's just one of those great movies I don't like but I find Alien far superior and as for James Cameron's work I find The Terminator and Terminator 2 both better as well.

Belle de Jour
Run Lola Run Rebecca Umbrellas of Cherbourg Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Dr. Strangelove Blue Velvet Gaslight Rear Window |

Kidding of course, but I think of Aliens as the ultimate example of a SciFi action movie. The same way as there are roller coaster enthusiasts who will ride coasters hundreds of times and talk about them, that is Aliens to me. A nonstop assault on the senses, with characters I actually care about. I seriously can't think of a thing about this movie I DONT like. The score by Horner is just awesome. |
Oddly enough, just the other day I had compiled a list of every movie that I considered to be perfect and that I legitimately felt could be called the greatest movie ever made. There's exactly 22 films that I feel that way about:
2001: A Space Odyssey Apocalypse Now Casablanca Citizen Kane City of God Double Indemnity Dr. Strangelove Floating Weeds The Godfather Gone with the Wind The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Goodfellas Hoop Dreams Léon M North by Northwest Notorious Raging Bull The Searchers Seven Samurai Sunset Boulevard Throne of Blood |
I don't question anyone's taste for not liking a particular movie. I have asked people who say that they've never enjoyed an episode of the Simpsons if they're retarded though.

Pinocchio (Disney)
The Empire Strikes Back Ordinary People A Bug's Life The Insider |
The work of Martin Scorsese – Whether or not his films are your cup of tea doesn’t change the fact that he has made some of the most ‘perfect’ films in cinematic history.
The Star Wars Trilogy- All 3 of the original Star Wars films are perfect in my opinion & even through George Lucas gets bashed by almost everyone, A New Hope, Empire Strikes back & Return of the Jedi are 3 of the most ‘perfect’ films in the sci-fi genre & in all of cinematic history. I’d also add Lawrence of Arabia & The Green Mile. I can think of more but these are definitely the ones at the top of the list. |

Another vote for Raiders of the Lost Ark!
I have for years considered it to be the perfect movie. It has everything anyone could want. Suspense, Romance, Gore, Humor, Intelligence, Good Acting, Action, excellent Cinematography, special effects that still stand up...everything. It stands with a bang and never gets dull. Even the background characters are interesting and you care about all of them. It appeals to Joe Six Pack and appeals to Critics. Kids enjoy it as much as Adults. It is not necessarily my favorite movie of all time...but it is THE perfect movie. |
The Fifth Element...I love every single thing about this film...
