The movies I consider near-perfect follow below, in no preferential order...

- Black Hawk Down
- Europa Europa
- Lost in Translation
- The Thin Red Line
- Seven Samurai
- Sideways
- 300
- House of Flying Daggers
- Out of Sight
- Les Miserables (1998)
- Watchmen
- The Terminator
- Sanjuro
- The Pianist
- A Hero Never Dies
- About a Boy
- Shane
- Jason and the Argonauts
- Son-in-Law
- Chungking Express
- On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
- Incident at Blood Pass

Raiders of the Lost Ark would be on the list, as would Star Wars, however these have been forever tainted by the disrespect they have been given by their creator. I truly can’t watch these anymore with any level of awe. (you didn't think i would make a journal entry without adding negativity, did you?)
  • Listening to: M83

Have you ever seen the movie "13 Assassins"? That's one I think you may really enjoy :)

Any inclusion of anything Pauly Shore negates everything.

In my opinion, Terminator 2 is better than the original.

Nice and varied list. But, "Son In Law," really?

good choices on there! love BlackHawk Down and Thin Red Line (especially Nick Nolte...those scenes where he's yelling at the Captain to move his men forward....man, now i'm in the mood to watch it again :))

House of flying daggers was way cool too. (tho i still prefer Hero, just because i saw that first, i think)

haven't seen the lazenby movie since i was a kid. just remember him in a turtle neck and wasn't impressed with how he looked. lol. maybe i need to revisit...

jason and the argonauts was on not too long ago, tuned it right at the skeleton fight and it still holds up pretty well. still impressive to see.

Oddly enough, I haven't seen most of these movies.

I agree with your selection of OHMSS; best James Bond film ever, and Lazenby was the best Bond. I remember watching that movie by myself one evening; very tense chase scenes, giddy relief at the climax, and then heartbroken shock during the last few minutes.
