It may be as mainstream as it gets, but the original Star Wars still defines a perfect entertainment.

For sheer technique, Melville’s Le Samourai is perfectly executed. Almost perfect as a film, but perfect as an exhibition of visual style.

L’Eclisse and Blow-Up, if it weren’t for the foot of the crew member on the left side of the frame during the orgy scene. Then again, perhaps Antonioni thought it was a mistake worth keeping. Someone could have been standing there watching them mess around on the floor within the confines of the film.

4 Months 3 Weeks and 2 Days and The Silence of the Lambs.

Always interesting to see what other people say on this subject.
I believe that Magnolia is a “perfect” film as well as The Engilsh Patient….absolutely perfect masterpieces…brilliant. Vertigo is right up there too.. just perfect.

2001: A Space Odyssey. I wouldn’t change a frame.

Also the best Billy Wilders: Double Indemnity, Some Like it Hot, Sunset Blvd., The Apartment, etc. Not a single line of dialogue falls out of place.
