Sorry, Zz13, I completely blew right past your excellent contribution to this thread. I was going over everyone's picks and re-read your post and, I must say it, To Kill A Mockingbird has always been(along with Casablanca, The Miracle Worker, Roarin' 20's, My Man Godfrey and Mr. Roberts) one of my all-time fav classics.

I don’t think that there was one second in that movie that was wasted. Every moment either explained something, tells you something or expressed something. Even thought it was filmed in b/w the use of light was incredible!!

Agreed; story, direction, pacing, tone, music, lighting and of course - acting. Perfect. All told from a child's POV.

Tawabawho?

I agree with ZZETTA13's contribution. To Kill A Mockingbird is, in my opinion, the perfect film. I can't think of a single flaw. Everything was simply superb.

I'd also include Shawshank Redemption and The Godfather.

However, I cannot think of any flaws in Galaxy Quest. Nor A Little Princess (92ish, with Liesel Matthews). Hero (93ish, Chevy Chase, Dustin Hoffman). Highlander. Terminator 2. Aliens.

edit: After reading the other entries, I see mine are not first.
I can almost agree with L.A Confidential, except Kim Basinger has refused to honor her promise to leave the country if we elected Bush, so that irks me still.
Other close candidates: Dangerous Beauty (for cinematography and scenery at least), 12 Monkeys, Road Warrior, Fargo, Pay it Forward. I don't recall flaws with The Thing (1982). What flaw would Twilight have? Gladiator? Amadeus?

The others mentioned I cannot agree with.
I'm afraid Serenity was just too heavily edited, too much cut out. Now the Pilot Serenity, if considered a film, that would be perfect.

I hould not have forgotten Braveherat, but avoided in cinema due to the modern hair braids.

Also can't recall flaws witrh The Man Who Knew Too Little (Bill Murray), even tho Galaxy Quest did benifit for the template. For those not aware, TMWKTL was to 007 as Galaxy Quest was to Star Trek.

Wow. i made some really good picks.

But, at the time of this necroposting, years have passed and some films should really be added to this list.
A few:
Inception
Edge Of Tomorrow
Wind River
Arrival
Free Guy
Sound Of Freedom
Alita: Battle Angel
Rogue One

Incidentally, I don't agree with George Lucas - they should be watched in the order they were made, IMO. Otherwise the revelation which made millions of fans jump up and cry "Say WHAT?!" loses all its immense impact.
