We've all been there. It's a Friday night and once again you're scrolling through Netflix or the television guide trying to find a good movie.
That's where movie fans come in to help. A while back, Reddit user VarrickCarter23 asked the /r/movies subredditwhat films they would consider a perfect 10/10 and they received an enormous response.
While some of the films may not shock you — "Toy Story,""There Will Be Blood"— others include great performances you may have overlooked when they were first released in theaters.
The entire list of responses is pretty lengthy, but we've highlighted 15 in here and included the fans' reasonings as to why you should spend time watching these flicks. We encourage you to check out the full list on Reddit here.
1. "Her" (2013)
Synopsis: "A lonely writer develops an unlikely relationship with an operating system designed to meet his every need."
"I don't consider it one of the best things ever or anything but I think it's a near flawless piece of film. It just set things up so well that no real plot point would feel forced or out of character. I love the implications, how the year is never specified, or what the rest of the world is like.
"The story is just really really simple, yet you find yourself getting sucked in easily. As someone doing long distance this film connected with me pretty strongly."— VarrickCarter23
2. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
Synopsis:"When their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a procedure to have each other erased from their memories. But it is only through the process of loss that they discover what they had to begin with."
"Almost everything is done flawlessly: The acting is superb, the music is good, the plot is engaging, it's funny, its unique, its dramatic, it's depressing, it's lighthearted, it's surprising ... it invokes almost every emotion out of me and it does it with soaring colors, literally.
"What I really adore is the camera work. The way things disappear out of a scene or a window, or the tricks with lighting, or building giant sets to make it look real, angles and tracking shots ... all of it is masterfully done. Charlie Kaufman did not direct this and he wasn't even the only one who worked on the story but his screenplay just jumps out at you. I think he's one of the best working today and this screenplay solidifies that."— VarrickCarter23
3. "The Thing" (1982)
Synopsis: "A research facility in Antarctica comes across an alien force that can become anything it touches with 100% accuracy. The members must now find out who's human and who's not before it's too late."
"Absolutely perfect horror movie. Interesting premise, awesome characters, incredible special effects, killer soundtrack, perfectly executed tension."— JendoShabo
