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

Remains of the Day.

Not t as good as the book but it captures it's spirit perfectly. Antony Hopkins best performance.

Last of the Mohicans- amazing and with one of the best film soundtracks ever.

The Verdict- less well known Paul Newman film but his best.

God's Own Country- mesmerising and just gorgeous, one of the best British films I've ever seen.

Working Girl

Gladiator. And it’s not even my favourite film because not really my genre, but it doesn’t miss a beat and is flawless imo.

Arrival.

Sense and Sensibility

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Punch drunk love

Omg Arrival. I couldn't stop crying (I had just had DD2) and really struggled with it all (trying not to leave spoilers!). It was brilliant. I'm not sure I can ever watch it again.

Galaxy Quest. Perfection.

Clueless.

Stardust
The Princess Bride
The Shawshank Redemption
Blade Runner
Night at the Museum

so many films

Walter Mitty. The Ben Stiller version.

Perfect Storm

Kevin & Perry Go Large
Ordinary People
Sybil
The Shining
Lawrence of Arabia
Dirty Dancing
Bohemian Rhapsody

Brief Encounter

Grave of the fireflies is so sad, not at all what I had been expecting, but it is brilliant too

This was advertised as a comedy but I found it quite bleak, especially when he recognises his mother's shoes......

Much Ado About Nothing (Kenneth Branagh)
Field of Dreams
A Matter of Life and Death
Brief Encounter
The Hudsucker Proxy

Godfathers I and II are perfect from the first roll of the first scene.
Absolute perfection.

Braveheart (my favourite film of all time) has the most perfect ending scene bar none 💜⚔️

The Notebook

Agreeing with Godfathers 1 and 2. Faultless.
Cousins
Dirty Dancing
The Castle ( you have to be Australian to get it though but perfect for us)

SO many that have been said that I have nodded along to! I'm going to add:

Hunt for the Wilderpeople
Little Miss Sunshine
Jean de Florette/ Manon des Sources combo
and although bleak, Cloverfield

The power of the dog, it seems like nothing happens, but everything happens.
I saw it three times in the cinema I loved it so much.

Bridges of Madison County
Death Becomes Her (please don’t judge me ! but so slapstick but also dark and very ‘ahead of its time’ re ‘tweakments’ / surgeries)

The Shining
The Last of The Mohicans
Taken
Field of Dreams

Batman /Cat woman (with Michelle Pheifer )
Forver Young
