10 Movies So Good You Overlook Major Flaws

Wait, there's something wrong with The Empire Strikes Back?

We all love movies that deep down we know aren't perfect. And not in a vague, there's-no-such-thing-as-a-perfect-movie way either. We're talking about those films that despite you being more than aware of their faults you can't help but find them the peak of cinematic endeavours. But then there's the movies that actually are at, or very close to this peak that manage to be so brilliantly constructed that whatever problems they have don't even matter. The internet went crazy when The Big Bang Theory pointed out that Indiana Jones is superfluous to the outcome of Raiders Of The Lost Ark, the Nazis doomed to a face-melting fate even if he stays at Marshall College. It seems like a damning piece of evidence against Spielberg's action throwback, but instead goes to highlight just how good the movie is in the first place; the fact this oversight went unnoticed for so long is testament to its otherwise flawless nature. To kinda show that movies can have problems that really don't have an impact on their overall quality, we bring you ten films so good we habitually overlook their flaws. These are far from movie ruining issues, as evidenced by the fact they're so easy to ignore, but in the fairness of being painfully nit-picky it's our job to look at them.
