I will say this about Galaxy Quest :

Sigourney Weaver looked AWESOME in that at 50 years of age

Eek

In the recent Galaxy Quest documentary she jokes about having fun playing a blonde bimbo in it.

Enjoyable documentary for fans of the film.

I'd put Fargo and Pulp Fiction on the list, but that's just me. Classics like Dr. Zhivago and Lawrence of Arabia should be as well.

The Godfather - Never watched it, don't like Mafia movies/shows at all.

A Place in the Sun - Never heard of it

Dodsworth - Never heard of it

Galaxy Quest - I've seen it a couple of times, its a decent movie but "perfect" - I don't think so.

I'd like to know his criteria and rationale. I wonder what he means by "perfect?"

Of course, it is all subjective.
