Got into this conversation tonight.

I could only come up with two movies that are absolute perfection.

Unforgiven and Shawshank.

Unfortunately there is no one definitive answer to this. It is subjective. If you find a poll though with movies lying in the upper tail of an imagined bell curve...you have a pretty close answer to perfect. >=95%

Seven Samurai

Not necessarily my favorite movie but I think it accomplishes pretty much everything a film is supposed to accomplish

QUESTION: Must the perfect movie be genreless, to eliminate all biases?

Hmmm, some will laugh at this dated chestnut, but "To Kill a Mockingbird" was pitch perfect for what it was.

Also, "Godfather II" comes close.

And . . .here's one that most on this board will dislike . . . "In the Bedroom".

I was going to say North By Northwest and Shawshank, but those have been mentioned.
