To me, a perfect movie is not something that was critically acclaimed necessarily, but a movie that I would always watch if I can again and again, whenever it's on TV, from any moment in it. These movies beat the test of time and continue to be great.
Someone has mentioned "Heat", which I used to love. But re-watching it recently, I've noticed quite a few little anachronistic things I didn't notice before and they were irritating now.
Here, some of my "perfect movies"; I still can't see many flaws in them:
American Beauty
Shawshank Redemption
Usual Suspects
Pulp Fiction
Forrest Gump
The Departed
No Country for Old Men
Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?
Unforgiven
Not a complete list by any means; just a few top ones...
