Dodsworth is a GREAT film. It is on TCM from time to time. If this critic has the credentials of Roger Osborne or Roger Ebert I might be give it some credence. | |||

Well, Mamet isn't exactly nobody when it comes to plays and movies. He probably has something interesting to say about this, and a valid opinion, even if you don't agree. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

For me, a film is "perfect" when all cylinders of the production are firing in sync. Script, casting, editing, directing, acting, cinematography, costumes, soundtrack, etc. IMO, most films misfire on the first three of this list; script, casting, and editing. We have seen too many decent movies and could-have-beens with subpar scripts, wrong actor in a key role, and films with too much or too little. The automatic entries into my Perfect 4 list are The Godfather, and Citizen Kane. The other two would be harder for me to fill. Perhaps Goodfellas, or Back to the Future, or Double Indemnity, or It's A Wonderful Life, or even Godfather II. Hell, Animal House is a near perfect comedy.

Seriously, is Galaxy Quest good? I admit to totally judging that movie by the title--it sounds really stupid. Year V | |||

Yes. That stated, being 20 years old, it is showing its age a bit, as all SF movies do with time, some more, some less, and others massively so. | |||

Yes! If it weren't for the very last scene, I'd have to add Wuthering Heights, but give the nod to District 9 instead. | |||

And we should care why? You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless. NRA Benefactor/Patriot Member | |||

There is only one perfect movie ... clearly the other three must be imperfect! | |||

It's stupid in the best way possible. A few years back we bought a projector, that was one of the first movies we watched.

You know that it's a send-up of Star Trek TOS, yeah? It is well done and hilarious. | |||

Casablanca came on the other day - deserves to be at the top of any list. Pragmatism: the relentless pursuit of seeing things as they really are. | |||

A perfect film list without a Stanley Kubrick film on the list is not a list worthy of jack shit. What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone | |||

I always get A Place In The Sun confused with A Walk In The Sun. Less killing in the one. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
