To be more specific, I am talking about movies from certain genres and topics that you feel are just so perfect that you really can't see how any future film based on the same topic could be better. Here are a few examples from me:
1. Topic: The Arthurian legends.
Film: Excalibur (1981)
A stellar cast, a brilliant choice in music that fit in perfectly with the setting, unique and stunning visuals and a perfect balance in tone between the dark serious stuff and the occasional comedic beat.
2. Topic: WW2 naval warfare
Film: Das Boot
3. Topic: 18th century/early 19th century "Age of Sail" naval warfare
Film: Master & Commander
4. Topic: Modern era naval warfare (post WW2)
Film: Hunt for Red October
5. Topic: WWI aviaton
Film: The Blue Max
6. Genre: Cyberpunk
Film: Blade Runner
“Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”
