Movie not in your top 5…but admit every scene is iconic

Hijack from the thread on great movie you can’t rewatch-
a poster mentioned Apocalypse Now. Another rebutted in disagreement:
“that one’s hard to understand. Every scene is iconic.”
I agree. But it’s been over a decade since watching. I hit up the prime rental and just finished- and it didn’t disappoint. (Probably 4-5th watch). Such a masterpiece.
As for every scene being iconic- Absolutely. Every scene. I had to pause not wanting to miss a second when checking dinner cooking.
So- what other films, not necessarily in your “top five”, where every scene is “iconic?”
Coming to mind for me is Top Gun1. From the dog fights to cheesy volleyball, every scene is memorable and iconic.
What say you?

Great storyline.
But Pulp Fiction is more quotable and has more iconic scenes.

Lots of great iconic scenes but not in my top 5
I get that so many love that movie but it just did not get me like it did others

I agree. Ok movie but more good quotes and scenes than good overall package.

Talladega Nights. Insanely quoteable, scenes are so over the top, just suffers from the usual 00's comedy issues.

That was me that mentioned Apocalypse Now. It's a heavy film that doesn't lend itself to repeated viewings. I'm not going to read Heart of Darkness a dozen times either.
As to this thread, I think Fight Club would be my answer.

Crazy Stupid Love.
just due to the nature of it being a romcom opposed to a sweeping epic (It's a Wonderful Life, Jaws, Jurassic Park Interstellar, Gladiator, Gone with the Wind, etc.) it's not top 5 but everything top to bottom about that movie is perfectly directed and acted.
honorable mentions:
Dredd, Other Guys, Grand Budapest, Prestige, Extraction, Knives Out, GwtDT
I categorize those as great, but not transcendent movies where the director got the most out of every scene

Definitely top 10.

Walk Hard. Insanely quotable. Excellent soundtrack. Hilarious from start to finish. Just doesn’t make the top 5.
