[Thanee]

Was getting worried about you for a moment there.

That was what I thought as well...

The Princess Bride

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai -- Across the 8th Dimension

Dark Star

 

[Silver Moon]

I agree with many cited above. To that list I'll add:

Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
The Wizard of Oz
It's a Wonderful Life
Star Trek II: TWoK
The Blues Brothers

 

[Kai Lord]

I equate a "Perfect 10" to the actual experience the movie provides, not necessarily a lack of any conceivable flaw in the execution. That being said my list would be as follows:

The Passion of the Christ
The Return of the King
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Two Towers
The Empire Strikes Back (original version)
E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
Star Wars

"Perfect 10's" in their respective genres would include

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens
Moulin Rouge
Face/Off
Jaws

but the experience of watching them is significantly surpassed by the top seven listed above.

 

[Kai Lord]

The Fellowship of the Ring
The Return of the King
The Empire Strikes Back
Conan the Barbarian
Ben-Hur
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Aliens
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
The Shawshank Redemption
The Matrix

While I certainly wouldn't rank Conan or Last Crusade as high as you do, I must say one thing: You, my friend, have awesome taste in movies. Roughly half the films on your list have at one time or another been my "favorite film of all time."

The Shawshank Redemption
Braveheart

Thanks for the compliment.

Here's a few others I wish to add to my list:

Braveheart
The Passion of the Christ
The Godfather Part II
Enter the Dragon (I don't know if I'd rank it as a 10 overall, but it's definatly a 10 in the martial arts movie genre)

Its my opinion that a movie cannot achieve a perfect 10 status with a viewer based on skill of execution alone. Perfectly made and perfectly acted....won't get a movie to perfect 10. It seems to me, it takes personal taste in the story and genre for it to push from 8 or 9 all the way to 10. I mean, how many of you put "Out of Africa" on your list? Or "On Golden Pond"? They may be 10's to other people....but we're some-what part of the same crowd. We all play D&D and hang out here. We obviously have some similar "broad" tastes. If not specific ones.

Here are my movies that I would rate 10


-Heat
-Jaws
-Raiders of the Lost Ark
-Empires Strikes Back
-Lord of the Rings (all three parts as one big movie)
-Blackhawk Down
-Back to the Future (part 1)
-Contact
-Alien
-Aliens
-Shaolin Soccer (yeah, you heard me right....heh heh)
-Spirited Away
-Iron Giant

Yeah, I don't even think there is any completely flawless movie.

Minor flaws don't make a movie bad. Fellowship of the Ring surely had some flaws, but many people would give it a 10. That's what I'm asking for.

You might want to see the score as 10 meaning 91-100%, where 100% means the ideal, perfect, flawless (and nonexistant) movie... but 91-99% is also pretty damn good!

Bye
Thanee

Thought of more (with the help of my wife):

The Sound of Music
Dirty Dozen
Bridge on the River Kwai
Galaxy Quest
Waiting for Guffman
Young Frankenstein

And I'll agree with the LotR Trilogy, too.

One way we decide on a '10' is by how often we see a movie. If we can put a movie in regularly and never tire of it, it's a '10.' So I'd have to add several more to the list: Dick, Drop Dead Gorgeous, Best In Show, The Wrong Guy, etc...
