Almost Perfect

[TeeBone]

Now that the, 'Perfect Movies' talk has died down, I wanted to submit some, 'Almost Perfect' movies. These are movies that would be perfect if not for one or two scenes that made it flawed and thusly not perfect.

I have two Examples:

Seven - This is a great movie and could be considered perfect but there is one scene where the dialog just drops and the seriousness of the scene dies. When they are escorting Kevin Spacey in the car at the end, Pitt says to Spacey, "...I seem to remember us knocking on your door." That is answered with the worst line of the movie and just ruined it all for me----"Oh, and I seem to remember breaking your face." Just terrible.

- Also -

No Country For Old Men - I love the Coens and think this is a great movie but I recently obtained a bootleg DVD of No Country and saw an inconsistency that was really bad not only by Coen standards, but for B-Movie standards as well. In the beginning when Llewelyn is hunting, the buck he hit stagers and causes all the animals to run. The special effects used are awful in this scene. It was beyond obvious these were not real animals. It was as if they spent no time making this part look real or good and the computer generated images are hack. This is the best movie of the year but that scene makes it 'Almost Perfect.'

So my question to you is, do you know of any, 'Almost Perfect' movies?

I can understand why you might use lesser effects in this situation- it's not really integral that the animals look real, its fast, they have a modest budget etc. I'm pretty sure there is more than one Cohen brothers movie with audio problems, where lines are overdubbed in reverse shots where its obvious the person is not saying that dialogue. The only one I can remember is John Goodman in O Brother, but I know I've noticed it in others. It's really really bad.

if all the evidence you have to detract from a movie and its being perfect is one line, then obviously there are no perfect movies.

i think you've set the bar a bit too high.

there's not a single movie that you can't find a single bad line, or a plot hole, or some inaccuracy.

absurd.

I guess you just don't get it.
