    Was listening to The rewatchables probably my favorite podcast and they are doing a 2 part on Boogie Nights which got me thinking of the perfect movie.

    I am defining the Perfect movie on several different fronts.

    Keeps you engaged the entire time.
    Suspenseful
    Funny
    Pathos/Drama
    Tragedy
    Says something about the human condition.


    The 2 that come to mind are

    Boogie Nights
    Fargo.

    Just a great mixture of each, this is not a favorite movie, ones that don't have a flaw and are enjoyable at many different levels.

    Three Kings

    It's one of the best, most perfect films ever made, and doesn't get enough credit.
