Huston´s "The Dead" (please point to a single defect in this jewel, the only case I know of a film which is faithful to the original written story, and then surpasses, and enriches it).

Another one which will never be bettered, is Tod Browning´s "Freaks", in which every imperfection (it has many) adds to make the whole film even more coherent, and one of the most affectionate and tender in the whole history of filmmaking: it is perfect, as it can´t be done any better.

And then, there is that risky, almost (while never really) cheesy Capra´s "It´s a Wonderful Life", which in its genre will never be surpassed...

And that most atemporal film, short in length, deep in reach, perfect in every sense, Welles´s "The Immortal Story"...
