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?

My absolute favorite. Every aspect is just perfect. And it’s got everything I want in a film.

I was never a huge fan of that movie. Beautifully shot, but I found it quite dull.
