The Emperors New Groove has become an iconic watch for many, with the animated flick combining action, romance, and comedy to create something of a cult classic, littered with memorable quotes and quirky characters. Reddit user rainha_portuguesa was quick to advocate for the movie, stating that it is the “funniest movie on earth. Since I saw it when it was released to now being an adult. F****** hilarious”
The movie is filled with humor that both children and adults find funny with a number of adult jokes that go over the heads of children. In addition to this, the movie’s quality of animation is seriously impressive for something made in the 2000s and still holds up today which is among the many reasons why this movie deserves a perfect score of 10.
Matilda (1996)

If Matilda was recast today, it’s safe to say that nobody would be able to top Mara Wilson’s representation of the character. The movie was a brilliant adaption of Roald Dahl’s book and captured the true eccentricity of his writing through his unique characters.
Whilst the movie had a somewhat dark story, this was outweighed by the kindness of other individuals and the acts of revenge created by the magic of Matilda herself. Reddit user thepittsburghchick shared that The little girl actress […] is so positive and smart” that her character’s intelligence is what made the movie truly perfect alongside its other bizarre characters and complex storyline.
Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018)

There have been several variations of the Spiderman comics but Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a particularly interesting one to watch. The movie combines stunning visuals with an equally great storyline with MartyMcfly1738 adding that “the soundtrack alone is perfection”.
The movie caters to all of the senses of its viewers by creating something that looks amazing, sounds amazing, and is just generally amazing. The animation of the movie is a series of hand-drawn elements which is why the movie is such a unique, diverse, and captivating movie that deserves a perfect 10.

Silence Of The Lambs is just one of many classic movies referenced in Scream but this movie is particularly jarring to watch with many viewers being haunted by the terrifying stare and sound of Hannibal Lecter.
The movie contains a perfect psychological representation of a serial killer that puts horror in horror movies, all whilst representing the difficulty women face when employed in an industry dominated mostly by men. According to willowswanson the movie deserved a 10/10 due to its “perfect casting and [ability to] never gets old” with it still being as powerful now as it was in 1991.
The Goonies (1985)

The Goonies is by far one of the best adventure movies of all time with both adults and children seeking an escapade as exciting as this one. The Goonies has become something of a cult classic due to its memorable quotes and meme-worthy scenes, obvious through the Truffle Shuffle.
The movie did a great job of bringing to life an adventure that children can only imagine through its extensive set littered with gold, jewels, and one-eyed pirates. Reddit user gaujamb7 labeled The Goonies as their “favorite movie of all time” with its ability to cater to different ages and create that same magic in all of its viewers.
Die Hard (1988)
![reginald veljohnson die hard christmas movie](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/reginald-veljohnson-die-hard-christmas-movie.jpeg)
Die Hard contains some of the most underrated quotes of all time but a quote that never seems to leave the mind of viewers is “yipikayay motherf*****”. The movie often comes under fire at Christmas time with many questioning whether this action movie could really class as a festive flick but Arkady2009 was quick to list it as the “best Xmas movie ever”.
Die Hard combines explosives, action, and dark humor, creating suspense one minute and making viewers belly laugh the next. John McClane represents a person not too dissimilar to his viewers (in some way) which is why fans feel as though they can resonate with the character especially his sense of humor, ultimately making it a perfect movie.
Knives Out (2019)
![Chris Evans and Ana de Armas in Knives Out](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Chris-Evans-and-Ana-de-Armas-in-Knives-Out.jpg)
Knives Out is a movie that encouraged viewers to work alongside the main characters in trying to decipher ‘whodunnit’, the movie was cleverly written with a complex plot, filled with twists and turns. Knives Out contains a star-studded cast that all encapsulate the eccentricities of each of their characters.
Apageo explained how “Knives Out really hit every point it needed to” with its underlying dark humor that runs throughout the movie. The movie’s quirky cast was accentuated by its cinematography and set which added to its take on an Agatha Christie theme. Overall it combined all the successful components of a good murder mystery and had a finale where the underdog got exactly what she deserved: one up man ship on a family that failed to recognize her dedication to the murder victim before his death.
Parasite (2019)
![The cast in Parasite](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/parasite-2-Cropped-e1582255690485.jpg)
Parasite is one non-English-language movie that became a big hit in America when it was first released in 2019 but after the initial buzz surrounding its release died down the movie became a somewhat victim to the forgotten cinema. C_J_Money was quick to respond to the Reddit thread with “Parasite, no question. I’m not a big movie person but every time I’ve watched this I find something brilliant”.
The movie does an excellent job of representing the difference between the wealthy and the poor, depicting it in a very raw way that left many fans praising it solely for that. However, Parasite was much more than just its amazing representation of the wealth gap, it contains some of the most interesting characters who all play a vital role within the movie’s intense way of storytelling. It is complex, thrilling, and disturbing even in its smallest details, proving the importance of a good cast, director, and storyline in what is definitely a 10/10 perfect movie.
Spirited Away (2001)
![Spirited Away train scene](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/spirited-away-featured-Cropped.jpg)
Any movie produced by Studio Ghibli is bound to be pleasing to the eye but Spirited Away has left a resounding mark on its viewers since it was first released in 2001. The movie was a step forward in the representation of Japanese art forms due to its beautiful anime style whilst also having a solid plotline (unusual in movies as visually stunning as Spirited Away).
The movie caters to both younger and older viewers with beetle-babe sharing that “it’s [their] go-to comfort film” as it offers a warm touch to both younger and older viewers due to its wholesome plots and immersive characters. In terms of fantasy movies, Studio Ghibli wins the top spot for its ability to combine visually pleasing anime with an interesting and intricate plot.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
![Two men raise their guns in Pulp Fiction.](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Pulp-Fiction.jpg)
Pulp Fiction has definitely earned its place as a popular cult classic but what makes it so popular? The movie is a prime example of genre-blending with its ability to cater to those who love action movies as well as those who like dark comedies. It provides action but not at the expense of its dialogue, with the movie containing some of the most well-thought-out bits of dialogue.
The movie’s storyline has multiple layers to it and provides some intimate camera shots alongside a brilliant and iconic soundtrack. Pulp Fiction is a seriously interesting watch, worthy of a perfect score as recognized by camster29 who referenced the movie’s top spot as “a given”!
