Hee! I haven't seen it either, but I want to.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

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!!!)

I'm not sure if I understand what you mean by "100% movie."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Well, getting 100% on Rotten Tomatoes only means that there are no negative reviews on that site.

Is there an unflawed movie, I think, is what it means at this point. It started with the Tomato meter, but I think we digressed from there.

What does unflawed mean? Because I love "Goodfellas" a lot. Would consider it *practically* perfect, except that owing to content,they run it late at night, and it's close to three hours long. So most of the time, I decide *not* to watch it.

Well, I thought The Apartment was pretty perfect.

I loved it, but for me, it's an amazing story, I'm not sure it's a "good" film.

I'm not sure what you mean by unflawed, either. Perfection seems to be in the eye of the beholder to me.
And for what it's worth, I though Man on Wire was pretty good. The director's strategy of structuring the story like a heist film was sharp.
