From action classics to animated favorites, these are the films people swear are flawless.

"Every scene in the movie relates to some future scene and detail callback. No wasted dialogue. It is a perfect movie."

"Great movie. One I remember well, watching many times with my now adult mid-30s daughter."

"Man, that action picks up immediately and doesn't relent the entire way through."

"One of the most well-paced movies I’ve ever seen. You are constantly engaged in the story."

"I’m with you. As much as I love the second one as a nonstop fun action movie that enhances the world-building started in the first — and, in some ways, is even more memorable (and definitely more quotable) — the first Alien is the true masterpiece."

"Yeah. I think North by Northwest is my example of a perfect movie. It just doesn’t stop. It’s either clever or action at every beat."

"Weird for a movie to make you nostalgic for a time and place you have no roots in whatsoever. Stephen King is the master at that. And one of his better endings, too."

"Easily one of the best character introductions, too, with Captain Jack Sparrow. The dialogue is so tight in this film that there's very little wasted."

"Poor Hugo Weaving. He will never be in another film again without me tacking 'Mister...Ander-son' onto his lines."

"There are several scenes that, in my opinion, should be studied as the perfect examples of how to make a movie.

Especially the one where they see the first brachiosaurus. The audience sees only their reactions for a long time. The music is hushed...and then as the camera reveals the dinosaur, the music swells. The reactions are so genuine. Dr. Grant, a smart and eloquent scientist, is literally lost for words and points like a child saying, 'It's...it's a dinosaur.'

"Still holds up, too. I work in an office, and it’s crazy how accurate that movie is."

"Actually rewatched this movie over the weekend, and I never realized just how thrilling the movie is and how much happens one after another. 

From Joker making his first announcement to Batman, all the way up to him blowing up the hospital, is a phenomenal hour-plus of film. In a good way, it feels like you get no breathing room."

"Chiming in as someone who managed to entirely avoid watching that movie till I was 30. I thought it was great, even without the nostalgia that a lot of people probably have for it."

"What I hate about The Shawshank Redemption is that every single time I'm flicking through channels and it's on, I say, 'Oh, I'll just watch this scene,' and then end up watching the whole movie."

"As a kid, I found Fellowship the most dull and my least favourite. As an adult, I think it might be my favourite. It has a sense of wonder and whimsy still that is lost a little in the second and third film due to the darker tone (not that they aren't also masterpieces)."

"Nobody delivers iconic scenes at the same pace as Tarantino. Always over the top but just about grounded enough not to make a farce of the story. 

Also, as is the case in any super rewatchable movie, expert use of music to elevate scenes to the point of demanding a rewatch."

"It was WELL done. There was how the rats moved and the location of the burn marks on the cooks. I mean, they did not phone it in. Someone put a lot of research into the movie."

"Every single line is either a brilliant reference to a different classic scene/trope in movie history, the setup to a brilliant joke, or the punchline for a brilliant joke. Literally every single line. It’s amazing."

"I watched this for the first time on one of the worst nights of my life, my mom was in the ICU, and I couldn't sleep. I finished it, and I was smiling. It was such a powerfully charming movie."

"This movie is outstanding anyway, but the fact that it was released FORTY-FIVE years ago is absolutely wild how well it holds up, and how old that fact makes me feel."

"They actually study it in some film schools. The entire film is a perfect study of how a film should be scripted. There are no superfluous scenes; every single one progresses the plot, pays off a previous scene, or sets up a future scene."
