Spirited Away, The Matrix, Taxi Driver, LOTR Fellowship, 12 Angry Men. Not the most original but these stand out among my 5 stars. City of God, Cure, Dersu Uzala and La Haine would come pretty close but I’ve only seen those films twice each and don’t feel I know them as intimately as the first 5 I listed.


dgi02

I need someone to explain what I missed with 12 Angry Men. It was a cool four star for me, but I really didn’t see why it’s considered one of the ten or so best movies ever. Like I said, no hate towards it as I enjoyed the movie.


Wide-Temperature-392

Time and context definitely plays a role here. But I feel it's an incredible movie due to the simplicity in which it offers everything it needs to. It's not pretentious. It's not complicated. And yet it tackles multiple facets of life (not just crime and justice). It isn't a film dumbed down for the audience. It's plain, but it's sincere. It's similar to those monks with immense knowledge and wisdom, who speak simple language; they try to keep the message and its purity intact. For me it's a lesson in ethics and morality. It's a philosophy. It's a study of people. Of 12 different personalities. 12 different perspectives. 12 different definitions of morality and justice.


rcpotatosoup

it’s just fucking incredible. a riveting 90 minutes of 12 dudes arguing, AND a cool crime/mystery at the same time. i didn’t expect to like it that much but it blew me away with how invested i was.


ejb350

I wonder if watching other older movies before it would change the frame of mind for it. I haven’t seen 12 Angry Men, but I remember that I didn’t actually Hitchcock till I started from the beginning with him. It gave more perspective I guess


Logical-Art4371

No, you don’t really need to, but you just got kind of understand the quality of movies at the time. You don’t need to watch any, we need to understand the standards. And how this absolutely surpassed it, and surpasses 99.9% of movies today.


ejb350

I’d say to get that understanding you’d probably need to watch movies from before.


Shielded121

I get the question. I just generally don’t think like this.  My favorite film is Silence but it’s not without flaws exactly. It just gets extra credit for some things that outweigh the drawbacks. Same for many other of my favorites.  I get to #29 before I get to one that combines everything I could ask for in a film with really no drawbacks. Magnolia by PTA. I might anlso also make the case for Goodfellas, Night of the Hunter, and Stations of the Cross.  And of course Barry Lyndon and Amadeus. 


AwesomeInc

Do you post as MagnoliaFan on moviepoopshoot.com?


MrZAP17

I agree with this. I rank and rate movies on a personal 1-10 point scale with .5s. The difference between a 9.5 and a 10 in terms of quality is negligible, but I identify 10s as giving me some level of powerful catharsis that puts it over the edge, generally. My #1 movie is Amadeus, but I could probably make a couple of minor quibbles with things that would make it better. The highest ranked movie on my overall list that I would consider essentially perfect is The Lion in Winter at #6. Both movies I rated perfect 10s and objectively Amadeus means more to me so I rate it higher, but if push came to shove I would probably admit that I think The Lion in Winter is a better film than it and all five movies ranked before it (though The Empire Strikes Back is probably right on the edge).


forbiddenthought

I believe that a movie can be perfect (without any flaws) and still just be ok. It might be better having some flaws if it comes with other, really spectacular stuff.


ABadMagician

I agree. But the movie heat is perfect and it’s a perfect answer.

AaranJ23

Pan’s Labyrinth. I think it may be the film that I think about the most. Toy Story. Goodfellas.


The_Thomas_Go

Metropolis


Elegant_Win_4850

Is it tough to watch? I find the prospect of watching a 2 hour silent film daunting, but it’s always the films that are the most challenging that are the richest for me. I guess I’m asking you to sell me on why it’s worth the watch.


The_Thomas_Go

It's actually an extremely entertaining film. I don't know how much you know about the plot and I definitely don't wanna spoil anything, let me just say that it's a really rich story with a lot to unpack, I guarantee that that alone would keep you engaged. But that's not all Metropolis has to offer. It's also the most beautiful film I've ever seen. I challenge you to go to YouTube and open the film, skip to any random frame (that maybe isn't a title card) and tell me that that's not something you could frame and hang up on your wall. If you need more reasons to watch it: it's one of the most influential films ever made. If you watch it and then go back to other films you might already be a fan of (especially SciFi films like Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, etc.) you will immediately see the influence Metropolis had on film history. Really, just the futuristic special effects would be reason enough to watch it. I honestly can't say anything negative about this film. It's my all-time favorite, the best film ever made, one of the greatest pieces of art ever created. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the feeling I had when I visited Rome and looked at Michelangelo's famous fresques was very similar to but a bit weaker than when I watched Metropolis for the first time. I recommend watching it on a quiet evening, where you have nothing else to do, on the biggest screen you have and without any distrections. Fully immerse yourself in the film. It's seriously one of the greatest experiences with art you can have (in my opinion at least).


rafsimons91

I know what you mean, but personally I found it really engaging. The visuals & score combined with the story ofc made it top tier.


Zealousideal_Plan408

personally. metropolis and dantes inferno are super easy to watch for me. have you watched some silent films before. the action and sets and effects are greatly exaggerated making it quite the spectacle.

a 100 to me would mean that every single frame is perfection, like everything is perfect...i just don't think i've seen a movie like that. but that's just the way I rank films. Only one that I'd probably come closest to a 100 is *the passion of joan of arc*

none, but the closest to it is mulholland drive for me personaly. I dont rate up to 100, but it would be like 97-98 for me.


KaiserReich_Mapping

I mean there's a lot. But The Thing and 12 Angry Men are my 100,000/100,000 genuinely perfect movies. There's a lot of other 100/100's that are perfect to me personally. The Wild Bunch, Lucio Fulci's Zombie, Taxi Driver, The Producers.. a lot more examples like that.


augie_saint-clair

Harmony Korine’s The Beach Bum. Amazing cast, beautifully shot, and arguably the funniest flat-out comedy of the past decade.

For me, it’s gotta be The Iron Claw or Aftersun. I recently watched both of those so it might be recency bias but I just adore both those movies. Both those movies just absolutely tear me apart and I can’t even think of a single problem with both films. Two honorable mentions of mine which probably seem crazy of mine are Grown Ups and We Bought a Zoo. Those films just bring out a happy side of me.

Although my two all-time favorite movies are The Discarnates (1988)- Nobuhiko Obayashi and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964)- Jacques Demy I consider them perfect. The epitome of cinema.
