Re: What is the nearest example you've seen to a perfect movie?

The first film that comes to my mind is 2001: A Space Odyssey. I can't think of any other thing that could be done to that film to make it any better than it already is.

Re: Whats the last great documentary you saw?

I would have to say Magic Trip. They were able to use real footage shot in the 60's by the Merry Pranksters and it was pretty fascinating, a true snapshot of that era. But then again, I'm a die-hard...
