The definition of excellence.

Rating: 10/10 (12 May 2006)

I have come to the conclusion that the only way to rank films that are at the very pinnacle of movie-making is to get very picky and imagine what tiny facet or detail could be changed to improve them. With this criteria in mind I can think of only two movies that meet the challenge of being flawless, "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "The Godfather". I give the edge to "To Kill A Mockingbird" as the superior film because of the powerful social statement and Gergory Pecks incredible portrayal of the archetypal father figure, Atticus Finch.
This is simply the finest overall display of movie-making I've ever seen and remains my favorite movie of all time.
