I have always felt that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the perfect film. The ratio of action, romance, drama, etc is just a perfectly balanced mix in my eyes. It’s been my favorite film since I first saw it in the theater.

It's not my favorite movie, but I think Braveheart is close to perfection. Great acting, awesome battle scenes, emotional moments, memorable lines, fantastic soundtrack.

Two films that immediately came into my head when I asked myself this were:

Joker
Prisoners (Hugh Jackman & Jake G.)

Noonan

Jaws is probably the closest to perfect for me. Every major category a film is based on was spot on.

Very difficult to say what a "Perfect Movie" is, but I had thought about this a lot in the past and figured these are the most "Perfect Movie" (I define that by basically saying I can't imagine changing a single thing in these movies, and feel that every time a decision had to be made, it was the right decision; best example is Fargo; I can't imagine changing a single thing in that film, even the Mike Yanagita scene, which I at one time felt was superfluous, but now I kind of see how it fits in the movie, and can't imagine the movie without it). Most of these movies have already been mentioned, but oh well:

Fargo - If I only had to pick one, this would be it. Perfect in every way, in my mind. I went through a phase in high school (when I only had it on VHS; DVD wasn't even a thing back then) where I would literally watch this every night for like two or three weeks straight, sometimes even watching it and then immediately rewinding it and watching it again (the quality of the VHS degraded pretty quickly due to this). I was studying the film...

The Big Lebowski
The Goonies
John Carpenter's The Thing - This would've been my second choice after Fargo. Just a perfect movie all-around. Excellent script, excellent direction, wonderful lead actor and cast, great music, killer scenes and just an awesome ending...
John Carpenter's Halloween
John Carpenter's The Fog
The Godfather
The Godfather Part II
Jaws
Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope
Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
The Shining
Romancing the Stone
Mulholland Dr.
All the President's Men
The Wild Bunch
Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid
North by Northwest
There Will Be Blood
Magnolia
Boogie Nights
Affllction
Zodiac
Heat

I would've said Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, but I always detract at least a point on that one because of the Burt Bacharach song. I just can't get over that scene and feel it is completely unnecessary, only put it in for commercial purposes. You take that out of the movie, and it's pretty much perfect. But with it in there, I just end up rolling my eyes every time that scene pops up...

Back to the Future: from beginning to end, it's absolute perfection. There's not an ounce of fat, not a bad performance, every shot is impeccable.
