"Nothing Needs To Be Added Or Excluded" – 19 "Flawless" Films That Need 0 Changes

"To highlight key reasons:

The dynamism of the camera in action sequences (which was not repeated in the following films)

The framing and composition of still shots

Bullet time introduced innovative special effects

Kung fu brought in by actual experts (not Steven Seagal-type shit)

The narrative, which is a modern-day allegory of the cave

The wardrobe

The lobby scene

The hero’s journey presented in an interesting way"

"It's so, so tightly written, it's one of my go-to examples of how you can make almost every line (every paragraph, at least) bear multiple meanings. Fight Club does the same thing. The Sixth Sense makes a big point of doing it...

Basically, 1999 was a great year for cinema."
