"Perfect" (or nearly perfect) Movies
Based on a criteria of:
1) Directing
2) Writing
3) Cinematography
4) Casting
5) Acting
6) Editing
7) Sound / Music
8) Freshness
9) Timelessness
10)Power
with a possible 10 points in each category, 100 points being perfect. Divide by 10 for 1 to 10 score.
Did the Director understand and own the project, executing it to its best use of each of the elements. Did she/he bring something special or distinct to the project... a signature?
Was the writing of the highest literary standard, without gimmick or cliche? Was it gripping, relate-able? Did it serve and suit the genre and style? Were you able to immerse yourself in the film, get lost in it, feel involved?
Was it beautifully and/or innovatively filmed, photographically?
Did the editing move the story at the right pace, without its becoming pedantic or dragging, or was it cut too heavily or sloppily so that it became muddy and unclear?
Was the story Fresh? Did it bring you somewhere new, show you something you've never experience, leave you thinking, or did you feel you'd seen it all before?
Was it a powerful experience? Did it move you, shake you, make you cry?
Almost all of the movies on this list have scored 10 or 9 in my estimation, based on these criteria alone.
I know, I know... "Where's Citizen Cane, or Casablanca?"
