Movies That Are Considered To Be Almost Flawless
Nadine Blanco | Trending | 27 Apr 2026
Writing, shooting, editing, and releasing a feature-length film is an incredibly complicated and strenuous process. There are so many moving parts that there's no guarantee that the movie will translate to the audience or turn out the way it was envisioned. Because of this, movies can range from absolutely terrible to unbelievable works of art. The best of the best are those that had the perfect team working on it, evoke emotion, and executed their vision. These are some of those films.
The Lord Of The Rings Return of the King Is Epic To Say The Least
New Line Cinema via MovieStillsDb
It's no secret that Peter Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy was one of the greatest undertakings in film history, yet he managed to pull it off. However, it was the third and final movie of the trilogy that really stands out. The film was astronomical in scale, chock-full of epic battles, beautiful cinematography, and a score that tied everything together.
The second-highest-grossing film of all time, it took home 11 Oscars including Best Picture and has been named the most influential fantasy film of all time. Few films since have yet to come close to comparison.

Written, directed, and produced by the Coen Brothers, The Big Lebowski tells the unbelievable story of "The Dude" (Jeff Bridges), who finds himself caught in a web of misunderstandings and failed plans in an attempt to get a new rug. The film's plot is all over the place, leaving the audience just as confused as "The Dude" as he tries to put the pieces together.

While the storyline may be amusing, what really makes the film unique is its eccentric characters that have become iconic among viewers. Its incredibly witty and hilarious dialogue has also provided audiences with an endless supply of ridiculous quotes that only fellow Big Lebowski fans understand.

No one else could have turned the story of the Titanic into a film in the brilliant way that James Cameron did. Cameron had his hand in arguably every aspect of the film's creation, acting as the director, writer, co-producer, and co-editor of the 1997 epic romance and disaster film.

Titanic was nominated for an incredible 14 Academy Awards and won 11 Oscars, tying Ben-Hur (1959) for the most Oscars won by a single film. While some records held by Titanic may be broken or tied in the future, it will forever be the first film to hit the billion-dollar mark, grossing $1.84 billion.

When out-there director Michel Gondry and existential screenwriter Charlie Kaufman came together in 2004, the result was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The film features Jim Carrey as Joel Barish, a lonely man who becomes romantically involved with an outgoing woman named Clementine, played by Kate Winslet.

After their relationship turns sour, the two undergo a procedure to erase each other from their minds, but it's not as easy as it seems. The result is a highly emotional film and an incredibly original take on storytelling, with Kaufman's script taking home the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.

Jaws Is Still Striking Fear Into The Heart Of The Public

If not for Steven Spielberg and his incredible team, Jaws could have become easily become a summer B-movie flick, forgotten by the next spring, but it wasn't. Instead, it became a cultural phenomenon that has continued to prevent people from going into the ocean.

Spielberg's style of shooting building tension until it's palpable, paired with John William's now-iconic score produces a movie of an entirely different caliber than the public was used to. Even 40 years later, people still hesitate to go in the water, reflecting on Quint's horrifying story of the USS Indianapolis, or the boy on the raft that never made it back to shore.

Unsurprisingly, The Grand Budapest Hotel was not only director Wes Anderson's highest-grossing film but the first to get him an Academy Award nomination for Best Director. It takes almost all of the aspects that make his films unique and combines them into one. The film is packed full of aesthetically pleasing establishing shots, witty dialogue, and quirky characters.

It focuses on a lobby boy named Zero (Tony Revolori) who finds work at the Grand Budapest Hotel, run by the eccentric Monsieur Gustave (Ralph Fiennes). From there, you are thrown into Anderson's world where nothing can be predicted.

Director Paul Thomas Anderson brings the hunt for oil and greed for money in the late 19th century to life in his film There Will Be Blood. Starring the revered Daniel Day-Lewis and Paul Dano, the two men battle for the control of oil, with Day-Lewis' character slowly but surely becoming more unhinged.
ADVERTISEMENT
It's a commentary on the negative effects of capitalism on American society, and the depraved things greed can drive people to do. Day-Lewis' astonishing performance is perfectly backed by Robert Elswit's shooting and Anderson's screenplay, creating a film that looks and feels as black and grimy as oil.

There's A Far Deeper Meaning Behind John Wick

Starring Keanu Reeves, John Wick is a breathtaking action film that puts many others in the same category to shame. It's fast-paced and well-executed, with Reeves training for eight hours a day, five days a week, for four months. His dedication to the process is one of the reasons the film turned out so well.
ADVERTISEMENT
While the lighting, special effects, and plot may be gripping, John Wick is more than a story about a former assassin on a killing spree after the passing of his dog. It's about a man in mourning who lost the only thing that connected him to his recently-deceased wife. It has an emotional depth that most action films go out of their way to avoid, making it especially impactful.
