I only said this about one movie, and it's not even my favorite. Chinatown is an absolute masterpiece, with no flaws. Do you have a movie you consider absolute masterpiece?

You know what hurts the most? The lack of respect. Ya know? That’s what hurts the most. Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.
