Of everything for me, there are more perfect songs, which might just be the result of brevity. Easier to be perfect in 3 minutes.

So true. Even with a near-decade of subpar episodes, The Simpsons' batting average is so high that no other show really comes close.

They put that picture up there just so we get distracted talking about punchable faces…

Burl, if you were a piece of pop culture I'd say you!

Countless songs by my favorite bands are pretty perfect but the first one that popped in my head was "Find The River" by R.E.M.

A thousand likes for you.

Pulp Fiction has a scene where Tarantino acts in it, so that disqualifies it.

Blue Velvet. There is nothing wrong with Blue Velvet.

Seconded on In The Mood for Love.

Your point is valid, but don't be so curmudgeonly! Surely there's a film, or something out there, that YOU personally consider perfect, which is what the question is proposing. Not something everyone thinks is perfect.

The pilot of Eastbound and Down is pretty much perfect as TV comedy goes, and is one of the few examples of a stellar opening episode for a TV show.

Seconded on Olyphant. I'm not a big fan of this podcast but that episode is great.

His whole performance in Wag The Dog is based on Evans.

Leviathan is impressive as an immersive work of experimental cinema, but it also falls a little short by lacking almost any kind of notable structure or through-line, and as such

Can someone just watch this and then post what letters we should check out? Besides "H" of course, which sounds like the greatest movie ever made.

MCCLOUD!

Considering the image in my mind when I see the words "studio exec" is of a slobbering Harvey Weinstein, I'm not surprised at all.
