That was a perfect movie.

I also think Godfather was perfect.

Other movies I enjoyed more but I think those two would met the definition of "perfect".

Back in this boomers childhood days, 2 movies were shown once a year, on a Sunday night.

Everybody went home to watch The Ten Commandments or Wizard of Oz.

Those are the only two on the list I watch once a year, every year.

The 5th Element was absolutely the first movie that came to mind for me!

Predestination is another movie that I believe is an absolute masterpiece, along with The Princess Bride, of course.

Rather than echo a bunch of movies already listed, here's a few I love that I haven't seen posted yet:

Gattaca
Dark City
Edge of Tomorrow
The Veteran
Harry Brown

I absolutely love anything sci-fi, as well as a lot of dark and gritty movies. The Veteran is one of my absolute favorites thanks to the shootout scene, as well as the unbelievable ending. Harry Brown is another great movie, and for those that haven't seen it yet, you really should.

I love that line. The whole story just works, and with no real need for special effects it's held up very well.
