Almost Perfect

Back to give you more movie love.  One of my favorite things about movies is that they can be very personal and everyone is a critic.  And you should be.  No one will see the same film the same way and frankly, even some movies are don’t seem the same the second time you see them.

This list is comprised of almost perfect movies.  Movies that are excellent but for one reason or another just don’t make my top 100.

Here is a great example; Sabrina, the original 1954 version.  The dress by Givenchy, the writing and the story are near infallible.  Everything perfect.  I always felt that Humphrey Bogart was a fantastic lead but seems too senior when paired with the child-like Audrey Hepburn.
