Well, Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop is pretty close...

Well, it's closer to perfect than at least 2 of QT's picks...

He's got great taste in music but adolescent taste in films. I like a couple of those, but 'perfect'? No.

Wow, I definitely agree with Jaws, Back to the Future, and you know, with the way they made that priest so conflicted in The Exorcist--along with all the great acting, scenes, mystery, gore, dark humor, etc--I can jump on board with it being damn near perfect.

I haven't seen Texas Chainsaw, but now I'm gonna.
Annie Hall? Can't stand stupid shit like this.
Young Frankenstein? From what I remember it's got a few hilarious scenes but is very short movie and Gene Hackman wasn't all that spectacular. 8/10.
The Wild Bunch? Never seen it but I think for me it would be a tough watch.

So yeah, Jaws, BTTF, Exorcist I'll add Platoon, The Thing, Raiders, Goodfellas, T1, T2, as far as modern movies go.

I disagree with the majority of his list, but the thing is, QT is schooled enough to convince everyone here that his list is correct. He would have you agreeing with him with 5 minutes of explanation.
