Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I can't think of a single 100% movie. Even movies I love above all others, I can't think of something that's wrong with them.
Granted, in some cases, they may be the technology or the cultural standards of the time. But still - there IS no 100%.
Yes, that is a challenge. Let's get some talk going here!!!

I know. Even as I sit here saying there are no 100% movies I am racking my brains trying to think of one.
Citizen Kane- huge plot hole
Bull Durham- the goof with the door
wait, wait!.. What about Casablanca? crap.
As guidance, here are a hundred movies with a 100% RT rating.
Number one on the list is Man on Wire. 141 Positive Reviews. That's really impressive. And hey, check it out: no goofs!
We have a winner!
I'm a little annoyed that the first perfect movie I've become aware of is one I haven't seen yet.
Hee! I haven't seen it either, but I want to.
And hey, check it out: no goofs!
I'm not sure it's fair to hold fictional movies to the same standard of continuity as documentaries. [I'm also not convinced that "no technical glitches" = "perfect" but that's semantics.]
Man on Wire was very slight, but pleasant. It's a good movie primarily because Petit is a great character - the filmmaking is nothing terribly special. (Though I do give them props for excellent use of stock footage. Not as impressive as the use of stock in Milk, but still very nice.)
Well, then - are there personal 100% movies?
Most of the ones I'd say in my head are flawed as shit.
And I definitely was thinking of non-documentaries. I think a 100% documentary would be VERY different than a 100% fiction film. (and if those should have been "an" instead of "a" - pblbstbltblblt!!!)
