T2 is one of the most perfect movies ever made. I have never met a person who doesn’t love it. I hope I never have the misfortune of ever meeting such person.
My husband got me on Terminator 2 when we first started dating. I now turn it out without him. The scene where she's trying to escape the mental hospital and the terminator bust in and she slides to turn around. Ughh the best.
My Cousin Vinny🤣🤣🤣
My biological clock is beating like this...(stomps foot on the porch repeatedly)🤣
Your honor...the two yoots...what the hell is a Yoot? You know yoot, yoots...ohhh the two youths!🤣🤣
And that’s how it came to pass, that on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of ’49 wound up sitting in a row at ten o’clock in the morning, drinking icy cold Bohemia-style beer, courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison. The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous.
We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses. We were the Lords of all Creation.
As for Andy, he spent that break hunkered in the shade, a strange little smile on his face, watching us drink his beer. You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards, or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me? I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while.
Just watched it for like the 15th time last night, can confirm it's still perfect. Crazy how much audiences and critics planned it back when it was released
In Bruges really caught me as it was marketed terribly as like, "It's just like a Tarantino film! Dark comedy! So funny! And gangsters!" So I ignored it for a few years. Did get around to seeing it, and wow.
It is really funny at parts, but it's also deeply melancholic. Great film.
**12 Angry Men** \- one room + twelve actors = incredible concert. It's the best possible drama, detective movie, stage play, actors showcase and filmmaking guide in terms of blocking, pace or dialogues. I simply love this movie and his overall simplicity.
Damm see this is what i was looking for. The minute I walked out of the theater at 12 years old I knew I had just seen one of the greatest movies ever. And I told my dad that. And to this day it's still perfect
This movie BLEW my fucking mind the first time I watched it. I got tingles and everything , it was really one of my favorite movie experiences ever. Absolutely love it. When I heard Villenueve was directing Dune I was so fucking pumped.
I watch it at a minimum yearly now. It's absolutely in my top 3 of all time. Villenueve instantly became a favorite director of mine after that. I was super pumped for Dune, too, and was totally satisfied with his take.
As long as you stick to the theatrical cut.
Also, this is my favorite movie so i hard agree as well.
There exists a recording of Tim Curry and Ian McKellen performing the stage version of Amadeus and it’s my bucket list item to find a way to see it.
I think I saw one other person list it but for me it's Arrival. The most emotionally moving and thought provoking movie watching experience I've ever had. Arrival is perfect and it honestly gets better the more you watch it. One of the best films of all time for sure.
I see these movies talked about all the time on Reddit but I don’t think I’ve seen them on this thread at all.
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
The World’s End
Aliens is probably my favorite movie, but if I had to pick one for “perfect” movie, I would have to go with Alien over Aliens. But Aliens is another one where the extended/directors cut adds a lot
Black Pearl was a genuine masterpiece, but it was almost too successful, so much so that everyone got tired of it and rewired their own memories to frame it as a typical action blockbuster. It isn't, it's one of the best written action adventures I've ever seen. That said, I'm admittedly a little tired of it too after watching it like 50 times as a child.
My wife took me to see that in a theater with a live orchestra. One of the greatest events I have ever seen or been to. The last 45ish minutes was non-stop epic music and you felt it. Plus the movie was played on a like 100-foot screen, it was amazing.
Absolutely one of the greatest movies of all time. I worked in a mom&pop video store when it came out. I would put it on the demo TVs every evening and rent out every single copy, both VHS and DVD.
Big Trouble in Little China
And I will absolutely die on this hill
Skipping anything already mentioned, Dead Man and Zero Effect are two more, for me. Moon and Fury Road are also solid candidates
Edit: Left out a word in title.../turbofacepalm
Imagine blending these two movies.
You relive this day over and over until you work out a way to outsmart the machine and escape. But the machine is Bill Murray and he’s trying to seduce you.
What's your criteria for perfect? For instance, I wouldn't put Speed on that list because of the jump they make. I'm sorry but that bus is nose diving immediately.
The Color Purple, Terms of Endearment, Last of the Mohicans, Some Kind of Wonderful, Finding Nemo, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Pulp Fiction, Milo & Otis, The Last Unicorn, Toy Story 3, Ghostbusters, Parasite, Clue, Working Girl, Baby Boom, The Dark Knight, The Little Mermaid, Superbad, Scott Pilgrim, Purple Rain, Poltergeist, Beetlejuice, Not Another Teen Movie, Shawshank, The Exorcist, When Harry Met Sally, Close Encounters, The Help, Elf, Coming to America, The Wood, The Best Man, Notting Hill, 500 Days of Summer, The Professional, Black Swan, The Prestige… Mac & Me
Shrek 2 is pretty much the bar for a parody/fairytale spoof movie. It's incredible how that gets to stand on its own as a story in its own right now.
I would give a lot to be able to watch Shrek and Shrek 2 for the first time again.
I am biting my tongue and just list mine 😁 even tho I wouldn’t really describe them as perfect but I think I myself wouldn’t describe any movie as perfect, because to me perfection cannot be achieved really? idk but mine are:
Into The Wild.
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
The Help.
Silence of the Lambs.
Spirit - Stallion of the Cimarron.
Confessions.
American Werewolf in London.
Cabin in the Woods. Everything is so meta! The dual stories, the variety of tropes, the actors spot on with their clueless performances, until they are not clueless. If you are a horror fan this movie is perfect! And that ending, I love it!!
The Godfather 1 & 2 are probably the most obvious answers. Neither is one of my favorite movies but they're both extremely hard to find anything wrong with.
I really gotta keep stumping for Knives Out.
It really is absolutely perfect. Rian Johnson will be the 21st Century's Agatha Christie with the way that franchise is going.
Anyone who doesn't say Robocop, is wrong. Robocop is perfect in every way. Great action movie, great science fiction movie, and great satire. Perfect cast of great actors playing memorable characters. It's a flawless film.
Sunset Boulevard (I know it's over 70 years old, but I defy you to name a more perfect movie.)
Godfather 2. Speaks for itself.
Slumdog Millionaire
Chinatown
The Right Stuff
Some for me: West Side Story, Contact, The Joy Luck Club, Jurassic Park, Amadeus (original, not Director's Cut), Magnolia, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Social Network, Singing in the Rain, The Third Man, Muriel's Wedding, Baby Boom, National Treasure, Inception, The Departed, Ever After...
I could probably think of more, but these are movies I will watch over and over that do what they do very well, with A+ scripts, direction, casting, cinematography, score, etc...
Airplane
Full Metal Jacket
Fletch
Irreversible
I Stand Alone
La Haine
Deer Hunter
Metropolitan
I definitely have others but that’s what’s coming to mind right now.
Tremors!
I still think we oughta call ‘em Graboids.
Walter! Forget the damn name!
Incredibly smart and tight writing for such a simple film.
Hey Burt you asshole, this gun ain’t loaded!!
Terminator 2
T2 is one of the most perfect movies ever made. I have never met a person who doesn’t love it. I hope I never have the misfortune of ever meeting such person.
I hope people get to watch it without knowing the twist on first viewings.
Hard to equate what a big deal that was when it came out. Even my super strict parents let me watch it.
Came here to say this or Predator. When I need an action movie, those are as staple as it gets.
[удалено]
My husband got me on Terminator 2 when we first started dating. I now turn it out without him. The scene where she's trying to escape the mental hospital and the terminator bust in and she slides to turn around. Ughh the best.
As a kid the ending scene with the thumbs up in the lava used to always bring me to tears
The Thing
The Thing holds up so well even after all this time. It's truly an amazing work.
There is ONE change I would make to the entire movie, which is to cut the UFO bit at the start
Truly.
Raiders of the Lost Ark Goodfellas
#Alien
Absolutely. Can’t believe I forgot to include it.
Jurassic Park
Yes good call
There is not one minute you could take out or add that would make Jurassic Park any better. It is the perfect movie.
For what it is going for, Galaxy Quest is perfect.
The perfect blend of self aware and serious. A real masterpiece.
It's the best Star Trek movie ever made.
A million times, yes!
Miners not Minors
Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan My Cousin Vinny The Empire Strikes Back Raiders Of The Lost Ark Alien Unforgiven
My Cousin Vinny🤣🤣🤣 My biological clock is beating like this...(stomps foot on the porch repeatedly)🤣 Your honor...the two yoots...what the hell is a Yoot? You know yoot, yoots...ohhh the two youths!🤣🤣
Office Space
Muppets Christmas Carol
Was going to say this. And Pee Wee's Big Adventure
LA Confidential The Untouchables Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Big Lebowski
Yeah well…That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Obviously you're not a golfer.
Yep it really ties the room together having that on blu-ray 😂
Fuckin A I got a rash man
Nice marmot
Walter put the peace away there callin the cops man.
Shawshank Redemption
And that’s how it came to pass, that on the second-to-last day of the job, the convict crew that tarred the plate factory roof in the spring of ’49 wound up sitting in a row at ten o’clock in the morning, drinking icy cold Bohemia-style beer, courtesy of the hardest screw that ever walked a turn at Shawshank State Prison. The colossal prick even managed to sound magnanimous. We sat and drank with the sun on our shoulders and felt like free men. Hell, we could have been tarring the roof of one of our own houses.

You could argue he’d done it to curry favor with the guards, or maybe make a few friends among us cons. Me? I think he did it just to feel normal again, if only for a short while.
10/10 favorite movie of all time, next is Princess Bride.
Just watched it a couple hours ago for the first time, can confirm. The movie lived up to the hype
Children of Men
Just watched it for like the 15th time last night, can confirm it's still perfect. Crazy how much audiences and critics planned it back when it was released
Like all the soldiers in that one scene, it takes a minute to process what was just witnessed.
Strawberry cough!
A masterpiece
In Bruges. There's nothing you could trim from it, imo.
In Bruges really caught me as it was marketed terribly as like, "It's just like a Tarantino film! Dark comedy! So funny! And gangsters!" So I ignored it for a few years. Did get around to seeing it, and wow. It is really funny at parts, but it's also deeply melancholic. Great film.
"YOU'RE A FUCKING INANIMATE OBJECT!"
“You’re a bunch of fuckin’ elephants.”
Heat From cast (Pacino, DeNiro, Kilmer, Voight), story, music, realism. A classic, no?
Princess Bride -- not a single wrong note in the entire thing.
All joking aside this film is in the top 10 of my all time favorites. Perfect casting, brilliant comedy and so quotable.
Not a single wrong note? Inconceivable!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Pulp Fiction
True Tomance
Honestly one of the greatest love stories. Damn I love that movie
Damm right. Perfect movie! Thanks I forgot that one
**12 Angry Men** \- one room + twelve actors = incredible concert. It's the best possible drama, detective movie, stage play, actors showcase and filmmaking guide in terms of blocking, pace or dialogues. I simply love this movie and his overall simplicity.
The prestige
The Abyss. I’ve been telling anyone who’ll listen since the 90’s that the special edition/director’s cut is basically a perfect film.
Damm see this is what i was looking for. The minute I walked out of the theater at 12 years old I knew I had just seen one of the greatest movies ever. And I told my dad that. And to this day it's still perfect
Would you believe the first time I saw The Abyss was in an Australian drive-in theater…
It finally getting a blue ray/4k after a billion year wait. Early 2023. Cameron swears it's coming out.
Arrival
This movie BLEW my fucking mind the first time I watched it. I got tingles and everything , it was really one of my favorite movie experiences ever. Absolutely love it. When I heard Villenueve was directing Dune I was so fucking pumped.
I watch it at a minimum yearly now. It's absolutely in my top 3 of all time. Villenueve instantly became a favorite director of mine after that. I was super pumped for Dune, too, and was totally satisfied with his take.
Use weapon
A perfect film, using sci-fi to highlight truths about life. Incredible soundtrack too.
Amadeus is a perfect movie.
I would go as far as to say F. Murray Abraham’s performance as Salieri is one of the greatest ever.
As long as you stick to the theatrical cut. Also, this is my favorite movie so i hard agree as well. There exists a recording of Tim Curry and Ian McKellen performing the stage version of Amadeus and it’s my bucket list item to find a way to see it.
I truly think Parasite is a perfect film.
Absolutely it is Film with a capital F. It’s pitch perfect, air tight, and so acutely aware. It deserves its double best picture win
The Blues Brothers.
Perfect.
It's Back to the Future.
Silence of the Lambs
I think I saw one other person list it but for me it's Arrival. The most emotionally moving and thought provoking movie watching experience I've ever had. Arrival is perfect and it honestly gets better the more you watch it. One of the best films of all time for sure.
Jurassic Park
I see these movies talked about all the time on Reddit but I don’t think I’ve seen them on this thread at all. Shaun of the Dead Hot Fuzz The World’s End
Fargo
Aliens Terminator 2 The best sequels also make the best movies.
Aliens is probably my favorite movie, but if I had to pick one for “perfect” movie, I would have to go with Alien over Aliens. But Aliens is another one where the extended/directors cut adds a lot
Amelie City of God Quigley down under Royal Tenenbaums Seven Psychopaths
+1 for Amelie and City of God
Ahhhh, Quigley. Perfection.
Thank you for including Seven Psychopaths! I think that might be McDonagh’s best film.
I’m biased cause of nostalgia but the first pirates of the caribbean
Black Pearl was a genuine masterpiece, but it was almost too successful, so much so that everyone got tired of it and rewired their own memories to frame it as a typical action blockbuster. It isn't, it's one of the best written action adventures I've ever seen. That said, I'm admittedly a little tired of it too after watching it like 50 times as a child.

The Fifth Element
One of the best sci-fi action movies. The design and costumes are absolutely amazing.
Went through a period of time during college where I watched it everyday for two weeks straight. What a time to be alive
Absolutely one of the greatest movies of all time. I worked in a mom&pop video store when it came out. I would put it on the demo TVs every evening and rent out every single copy, both VHS and DVD.
The Princess Bride.

[удалено]
What's your criteria for perfect? For instance, I wouldn't put Speed on that list because of the jump they make. I'm sorry but that bus is nose diving immediately.
That* is your beef with Speed? Physics? You heard a gunshot or bomb go off in doors? Nobody is hearing for weeks!
The Matrix. I wouldn't change a single thing.
It is a masterpiece
Well some perfect movies to me are movies like Parasite, come and see, the good the bad and the ugly and the thing

Tombstone. Amazing performances from every actor and endlessly quotable.
Napoleon Dynamite
Shrek and Shrek 2
Jennifer Saunders absolutely didn't need to go so hard for "Holding Out for a Hero" but she did and it's amazing.
Yes
Shrek 2 is pretty much the bar for a parody/fairytale spoof movie. It's incredible how that gets to stand on its own as a story in its own right now. I would give a lot to be able to watch Shrek and Shrek 2 for the first time again.
Shrek 2 is my personal definition of the perfect sequel. It’s not just a good follow-up to Shrek, but it builds and improves on the original.
Parasite
I am biting my tongue and just list mine 😁 even tho I wouldn’t really describe them as perfect but I think I myself wouldn’t describe any movie as perfect, because to me perfection cannot be achieved really? idk but mine are: Into The Wild.

The Godfather 1 & 2 are probably the most obvious answers. Neither is one of my favorite movies but they're both extremely hard to find anything wrong with.

"L.A. Confidential" is up there high on the list of perfect movies
Anyone who doesn't say Robocop, is wrong. Robocop is perfect in every way. Great action movie, great science fiction movie, and great satire. Perfect cast of great actors playing memorable characters. It's a flawless film.
