That's a very difficult question to answer. When I write a review I don't always write what I think the score should be. For an example in my book I think that the above reviewed movie would be more along the lines of a 9.2. However I feel that when writing a review that more than one person will be reading I should try to the best of my ability to figure in all aspects, including the way other people will view it. The fact that I know one person who did not at all like this film makes it go down a fraction of a point.. the fact that I thought perhaps the shots were a little to perfect once again results in said actions.

I've never given a film a perfect 10 and in the event I do see a film that deserves such a score I fear I may never be able to watch a movie again.

Understanding the theory above I'd say the movie that comes closet to the "perfect ten" is (hold your breath):
? ?The Princess Bride

Many may argue this but it's an almost perfect film, the way it's shot, the script, characters and story, the acting and all. Once again this my opinion.

On a personal note the movies I think that come closest are:
? ?Raging Bull
? ?A Clockwork Orange
? ?The Usual Suspects
? ?Dr. StrangeLove
? ?Glitter

But that's just my taste in movies.

You probably got more then you expected out of this comment, but anyway.. I hope you all realize that's a joke about Glitter. :)

I'm serious about The Princess Bride though.
