spoilers on the entire Terminator universe.

It's also BS how easily the original Terminator tracks down Sarah & Kyle (twice!), first time to a random parking garage and then to a cheap motel. There are a LOT of parking garages and cheap motels in LA.

Is there a perfect movie thread? Not necessarily overall but for what a movie is

The Terminator found her at the cheap motel because he had killed her mother and tricked Sarah into telling him, by imitating her voice, over the telephone.

My impression was that Evil Gubmet Guy was on cover-up detail, similar to what happened in the novel.

Wait a minute are you all suggesting the movie about time travel doesn't stand to logic or reason?

No, I actually think T1 and T2 are rare movies that got it right.

Ultimately, any kind of time travel movie is fundamentally illogical, except Planet of the Apes-style travel into the future.

Yep, there the illogical part was how they didn't immediately know they must have been on the earth when they could understand the language.

are you asking if there is a thread for perfect movies or if there are any perfect films?

I'm not going to make a list of all the films I consider to be perfect but a few that come to mind:

no country for old Men
dumb and dumber
dr strangelove
butch cassdiy n sundance kid
training day
the Bourne identity
Fargo
the big lebowski
gone baby gone
there will be blood
there's something about Mary
a few good men

Linklater's "Before" trilogy movies have been my go to example of some "perfect films" that just execute awesomely everything they were trying to be.

I thought I'd posted this before, but maybe it was in a similar thread.

In Wall Street, Charlie Sheen gets busted, and perp walked out of his firm in front of literally hundreds of people. Very shortly after, he meets up with Gekko (who values information above all, and would certainly have to have been aware of this) in Central Park. Wall Street Genius Gekko then immediately confesses a variety of insider trading crimes to someone who was literally just arrested and (to the surprise of no one) is wearing a wire for the cops.

Not a plot hole IMO. Gekko is so ego driven that he needed closure with Fox to get one last shot in.

I LOVE this movie, and it's probably my favorite movie from this genre, but there is one thing that kind of bothered me. Ed Harris showing up with a gun and a mask to stop the uncle from telling Affleck the truth seemed a bit far fetched to me. Not sure if it's necessary a plot hole, but something that I always thought kept it from being a "perfect" movie.

he was just going to do whatever it took to make sure the little girl didn't get taken away from the captain and given back to her mother (as well as protecting the capt from going to jail).

don't see what was so far fetched about it.

A policeman pretending to perform armed robbery of a bar to prevent the secret, an act that ends up getting himself killed? I think it's a little bit of a stretch. Not necessarily a gaping logic hole, but a stretch none the less. At least that was my feeling when I saw it. Enough of a stretch for me to say it's not a perfect movie, though it's pretty darn close to one.

I'm trying to remember if there's anything off with Kiss Kiss Bang Bang or 2 Days in the Valley. I know a lot of people said 2DitV was a Pulp Fiction rip off but I liked it just as much. Plus you get to see a 20yr old naked Charlize Theron.

It's been a long time since I've seen either so I'm having a hard time remembering. I might have to watch them this weekend.

i was more thinking movies that are perfect for what they are

i was going to suggest galaxy quest and stardust

im just finding this thread now so this was prob said, but in Shawshank, Tim Robbins steals the wardens suits for when he escapes...only hes 6'5 and would never fit in them

Robbins is skinny as **** and don't they show him at the bank with very short pants but perfectly shined shoes?

In CaddyShack Ty tells Danny that if he does not make the final shot, they lose.

Earlier it was stated that the lowest score wins the hole. So how can it be that Danny is in a position to win the match by making the put or losing it if he misses?

Wouldn't Ty and Danny be tied with the doctor and Judge Smails if he in fact missed the putt?

EDIT: It seems many have asked this question and according to what I found online -

Bill Simmons at ESPN.com addressed this question. If I recall correctly, his interpretation was that the additional bets that take place before the final shot (where Rodney Dangerfield ups the ante, and Ted Knight agrees) essentially wipe away the original bet and focus everything on the single remaining shot. Dangerfield says, "double or nothing he makes it," which doubles the original bet and focuses the bet on the final putt, not the entire game.

After watching Sharknado 3 I have a question? Sharknados are tornados which form over the ocean which pull the sharks out and deposit them on land. This all makes perfect sense. But how do these tornados know to only pull out the sharks and leave the rest of the fish?

Its worth rewatch after rewatch just for that alone.

I dug it as well, actually. Been too long to know how much, but I definitely dug it.

The fish don't have enough mass to overcome the centrifugal force ldo. I know this because I'm a marine biologist
