Is There Such Thing As A Perfect Film?

[Baseball Fury]

Now you mention it, Lebowski is another perfect film.

Even though there are a lot of films I love, I'd have to say 'no'.

'Fraid I don't agree there mate.

Don't Look Now,The Wicker Man,Peeping Tom and perhaps even Peter Weir's Witness are,IMO perfect.

I totally agree with you on that one. Watching Peeping Tom for the first time was a fantastic experience - I really think this film has not a single flaw.

Other perfect films, from the first to the last frame: George Franju's Eyes Without A Face , Michael Reeves' Witchfinder General, and John Carpenter's Halloween - and I'm only including Horror films now!

Greetings!

ALIEN is a perfect horror film.

Near perfect for me.

I think it's perfect but the director's cut not so.

The Long Good Friday is a perfect crime film IMO.

TLGF is indeed a brilliant film and my fave Brit gangster film
one of the things I liked about the film was the political storyline
a classic

Ok, no-one else is going to say it, so I guess it's up to me......Grease 2.

This thread is great, being a superb illustration of the futility of considering perfection.

Many films mentioned here are good or mediocre (and a couple dreadful!) to me, yet clearly resonate with others to a level that I cannot begin to comprehend.
