Exactly and that's why it was a pretty fucking badass comic book movie that did a great job of wrapping up what it could of the trilogy. I wasn't disappointed. Many movies out there can be improved on but very few that are perfect movies.

Perfect in and of itself is subjective anyway. Some call The Godfather the perfect movie. I personally find it boring and drawn out as hell.

The Princess Bride the perfect cheesy romantic comedy ever. I love that movie to the pain.

It is filled with some of the best quotes in any movie ever.

"You mean, you'll put down your rock and I'll put down my sword and we'll try and kill each other like civilized people?"

"... you know how much I love watching you work, but I've got my country's 500th anniversary to plan, my wedding to arrange, my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; I'm swamped."

"You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha..."

"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife! But after what you just said, I'm not even sure I want to be that any more!"

"You've been mostly-dead all day. "

"Oh, what I wouldn't give for a holocaust cloak."

""There is a shortage of perfect breasts in this world; 'twould be a pity to damage yours."

and of course,

""Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."

and,

"As you wish."

You're all blasphemous for not immediately saying Pulp Fiction. Godfather, definitely. Big Lebowski, 2001 A Space Oddyssey.

Pulp Fiction's great, but hardly perfect.

I hadn't even noticed the Batman logo in this image until a couple days ago. Facepalm.

What's wrong with Pulp Fiction? And you can say the Bruce Willis/Fabienne intro is dull, but it goes with the theme of that stretch of the movie.

Guys I gotta side with Giggan on this one. Pulp Fiction is pretty much perfect.

I think that the Godfather is pretty much perfect too (minus III obviously).

I've never seen the Godfater 2 or 3. I can't imagine why I should. 1 is perfect.

Others not already listed might include:

A Clockwork Orange
Casablanca
Citizen Kane
It's A Wonderful Life
Resevoir Dogs
All That Jazz
A Christmas Story
Fight Club?

Is it odd that the first perfect movie that came to mind for me is Pan's Labyrinth?

I think Fight Club is definitely a perfect movie rendition of a book. I read the book after having watched Fight Club a million times and I was tripping out how the movie stuck to the book almost word for word.

Don't we have a thread for perfect movies?

I was just considering making it when I made my post a few minutes ago.

She doesn't specifically. I'm just presuming Bruce and Selena stay together. If they do, then according to the comics, they will have a baby girl named Helena.

Isn't the only child of Bruce that is considered canon the one he has with Talia? This movie fucked that pretty hard.

It's hard to think of perfect movies but off the top 'o me head I'd say,

Pulp Fiction

Star Wars Episode 4: A New Hope (before the special editions)

Back to the Future

I'll think of more.

I know what canon means.

I just don't think Nolan cares about comicbook canon.

....

Comicbook writers also don't care about comicbook canon.

"Hey! Let's give the fans what they want for a change." - no comicbook writer ever (except the guy who wrote that whole The-Boy-Wonder-Gets-Blown-Up-And-Dies-Horribly story. That was somewhat gratifying.)

Or, do you mean, "Why did we all so enjoy seeing Robin 'splode?" That one should be self-explanatory.

AAAAAActually, wasn't there a guy that came up with a system to cheat that vote adding a shit-ton of votes for the "Kill Jason" side, and that actually was the deciding factor since they only won by like 72 votes?
