James Gunn brings up interesting points about favorite films vs a "perfect film". Seriously you can call this type of conversation objectivity or what have you, but this is the kind of conversation I value. Talking about biases and trying to separate that from cinematic merit. https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1252721888867975169

For instance, "Inside Out" is one of my all time favorite films. The reason that I love it so much is because of the message of its story about trying to contain emotions and hiding them from others. But I would concede that it has a flawed story and some weak character work.

On the other hand "Blue Is the Warmest Colour" is another one of my all time favorites which I love for how it portrays introversion and tells a very realistic coming of age story. But in regards to cinematic merit I will defend that film as having a solid story and craft to it.

Then you have a film like "No Country for Old Men" where I honestly can't think of anything which could be regarded as a flaw or inconsistency in terms of character work, storytelling, or direction. Those are the type of films that I would go as far as to call perfect.
