Rating - Perfect 10 Movies

[Thanee]

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.

Yep, that's why I asked for everyone's personal, subjective opinion.

Altho, I think - and so far it also looks like - that there are certainly some major favorite movies within the genres generally liked by the crowd here.

Metropolis: 1927 american silent film about the working class. Don't see it with the Loverboy sound track if you can.

Uh, unless there's a remake, that's an German film. Don't you mean the one
by Fritz Lang? Although there are both a German version and an American
one, where the American one was highly edited for length and censored.

And yeah. That movie is brilliant. As are all other Fritz Lang movies I've seen.

There are very few movies I'd give a 10 to. Personally, if I can't think of a 10-movie off the top of my head, it really wasn't memorable enough to be a 10. That said, the only one that jumps to mind is The Shawshank Redemption.

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...

The Wrong Guy is hysterical. I thought I was the only person that had seen and loved it.

My list

Cyrano De Bergerac
The Little Mermaid (Disney)
Star Wars
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The Sound of Music
Carousel
Metropolis (German)
Nosferatu

I give a 10 to a movie for which I can't think of any substantial flaw. Lemme check my IMDB history...

Alien
Back to the Future 1 & 2
Fight Club
Ghostbusters
Life of Brian
LotR: Fellowship
LotR: Return
Star Wars (all original three)
Terminator 2
Vita è Bella, La
Young Frankenstain

I might reconsider a couple of them though... which prompts me to reconsidering the 9s too... *checks* nah, the 9s stay where they are. So that's all the 10s I've given, at most. If there were a "closer to 10 than to 9, but not quite", it would be taken by BttF2, Fight Club, Ghostbusters and RotJ.

I agree with a many of those already suggested and I'll add Without a Clue, a hilarious send up of the Sherlock Holmes stories.

LOtR
Star Wars
Spider-Man

 

[Wombat]

In no order whatsoever...

Casablanca (probably the single most perfect movie in the world, for my tastes)
Citizen Kane
The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari
Duck Soup
Lawrence of Arabia
Dr. Strangelove
Blue Velvet
Amadeus
Gandhi
The Godfather II
Ghostbusters
A Mighty Wind
The Adventures of Robin Hood
The Lion in Winter
The Princess Bride

There are others as well, but this is good for discussion

Not quite a 10 for me (more like a 9.5), but a truly amazing film! Thanks for the reminder of this movie's genius
