I'm totally fascinated by every shot in these movies, and I don't think I'd change a thing about them.
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Millennium Actress
Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters
The Red Shoes
Parasite

Reading this thread, I realized I made some mistakes. Here is my revised list:
Moonstruck
Porco Rosso
Mad Max: Fury Road
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Inside Llewyn Davis (or a Serious Man. They're both perfect)

Really sucks that never happened. Master and Commander deserved way more box office love. Tremendous film that has it all.
The Hunt For Red October
Galaxy Quest
Tokyo Godfathers
The Rocketeer
The Fellowship Of The Ring

I was about to complain that all these lists are a little dude-y, but thank you for putting one of the greatest romantic comedies ever made on there. I'd love to see some more lists with rom coms.
Edit: Just thought of a bunch more rom coms. You've gotta put one George Cukor movie on there (Born Yesterday or Philadelphia Story), maybe Roman Holiday, and for sure It Happened One Night.
Shit, there are also no musicals. Throw West Side Story on there, too.

You know what? You're alright!
Edit: You're not just alright, but great. It's aged far better better than You've Got Mail, which feels so 90s that it's painful. Meanwhile, Shop Around the Corner is timeless.
Christ, that took way too long for that Raiders mention. It's always the one to come to mind for me.
The Truman Show
Alien
Back to the Future
Ratatouille
The Godfather
I was debating 3 of those and I love all 5.

I like you.

This is hard.
Off the top of my head;
Network
Songs From The Second Floor
Memories Of Murder
Mad Max Fury Road
Harakiri (1962 version)
I'm really debating switching one of the above for Mulholland Drive or Persona, but this will do for now.
Edit: My Neighbor Totoro should absolutely be on such a list. But I'm not sure which film should be replaced. Oh well.

I'm glad Porco Rosso is getting the love it so richly deserves. It's probably my favorite Miyazaki movie, and one of his few that totally nails the ending (sorry Spirited Away).

Yep, it's magic. Full of rich nods to Casablanca and film noir, and absolutely unique and incomparable at the same time.
