What's your perfect movie?

[kevcala]

<p>I'm not trying to make this thread about what's your favorite movie. . but more so about what do you guys think is the perfect movie.&nbsp; For the record my favorite movie is Beetlejuice . . but right now I'm watching Goodfellas, and in my opinion this movie is one of the most perfect movies.&nbsp; The plot, soundtrack, character development. . it just all fits so well.</p><p>&nbsp;Do any of you people have any movies that you think are just the culmination of everything good about cinema.</p><p>For the record, I'm not trying to say Goodfellas should be your perfect movie, but sometimes a movie just sits so well, you have to respect it.&nbsp; Any other 'perfect' movies out there?</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

To me, <strong>Fargo</strong> is&nbsp;right up there.&nbsp;It's the only DVD in my collection that I frequently watch over and over again.&nbsp;&nbsp;The perfect movie.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p>

Great writing, acting, directing, music, &amp; it's even socially brave in it's portrayal of Dr. Praetorious as an overt homosexual (in 1935!!!).</font></strong></p>

<p>I'm still waiting to see the &quot;perfect&quot; movie.&nbsp; I don't know if it's possible to achieve perfection, though.</p><p>Even movies that I absolutely love seem to have meaningless scenes and/or dialogue.&nbsp; And they're <u><em>way too long.</em></u></p><p>Maybe it's because I'm impatient by nature, but every single movie I've seen in the past five years seems to be at least a half hour too long.&nbsp; I start tapping my foot or shaking my leg in the movie theater praying for it to end.&nbsp; It's like taking a great song and adding a 5 minute guitar solo to it.&nbsp; Just drags it out for no reason. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

I think the first Matrix was perfect, and all sequals after it were totally unnessary.

[fezident]

<p>REQUIEM FOR A DREAM really kicked my ass the first time I saw it, and it continues to kick my ass to this very day.&nbsp; </p><p>I don't know if it's PERFECT but, it's damn close.</p>

I always thought Shawshank Redemption was maybe not perfect but close.

[pennington]

<p>Back to the Future. There is not a thing I would change about that movie.</p>

[suggums]

<p>I always thought &amp; still think that the construction of Oliver Stone's <em>JFK</em> is masterful.</p><p>Fellini's <em>8&frac12;</em> makes me want to lay on the floor &amp; weep at its beauty.</p><em>GoodFellas</em> is indeed amazing in pretty much every aspect.<p>All that said, <em>Butch Cassidy &amp; The Sundance Kid</em> might be my perfect movie.</p><p>But then again, I could watch David Byrne's <em>True Stories</em> every day, so what do I know...<br /></p>

<p><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="3">The perfect movie is Casablanca.&nbsp; It's got a little bit of everything:&nbsp; funny, romance, drama, etc.&nbsp; The casting is perfect with not one miscast in the bunch.&nbsp; There are almost as many one liners in the movie as Caddyshack.&nbsp; </font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="3">And the weird thing is that it shouldn't have been good.&nbsp; The script was still being written when shooting started, and more people had a hand in writing that script than four average movies put together.&nbsp; Usually, you have that type of situation, you end up with a disaster.&nbsp; However, in this case, you get a perfect movie.</font></p>
