Perfect films

[YaMuvva]

What films wouldn’t you change a moment of?

Ive just watched Billy Elliot and I think it’s absolutely perfect. The characters, the set, the very palpable despair displayed by the miners during strikes - anyone familiar with these areas know that these places have barely progressed as a direct result of Thatcher’s destruction. I feel that somehow came across in the movie.

The ending 🥺 it’s actual perfection

Pride, about the miners strike

Brassed Off

That film makes me bawl.

Parasite. It's not my favourite film of all time, but I think it's pretty close to flawless.

Princess Bride.

When I read the thread title the first film that came to mind was Billy Elliot, closely followed by Dr Zhivago.

About Time

it is sublime

Oh yes... How could I have forgotten Dr Zhivago!

Yes!!

Richard Curtis has produced some absolute bile in Notting Hill and Four Weddings and this amazing film, the ONE time he gets it right, is barely known! I love it for the father/son relationship rather than the romance (although the romance is cute)

Adaptation is brilliant. My DP is a proper film buff and is always showing me ‘near perfect’ films but this is the only one I think even he deems perfect so worth a watch!

I've never even heard of About Time!

I'll add Some Like It Hot. I honestly wouldn't change a single frame.

Billy Elliott is my all tine favourite.

One Fine Day.

All of us strangers. I'm still thinking about it months after seeing it.

Amelie

The Apartment. It's flawless 🥰

Life Is Beautiful.

Probably would add the Shawshank Redemption too

The separation
Portrait of a lady on fire
Grave of the fireflies & spirited away
Barry Lyndon
Memories of murder or Parasite

The Full Monty

Some Like It Hot
The Blues Brothers
Pulp Fiction
Zorba the Greek
The Life of Brian

I was coming on to say this! It's fab

Some Like It Hot

E.T.

Loved the first Back to the Future film. It is near perfection

Also, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a favourite, with the exception of Ruprecht. The ending is perfect. Dr Emile Schulthausen (sp) is just great. I do love that film

Princess Bride is also a favourite, but IMHO would be better without the modern (though not any more!) bits of Columbo/Grandpa reading

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
