I really don't think there are films that are almost perfect - great movies, yes, but almost perfect? I can't say that about any film I've seen, really, I just can't.

I never said anything about "almost perfect" so I'm not sure where you're getting that from. I said there are no perfect films, so a 10 is reserved for the best of what we have to watch. I said it's a relative thing, so you find a movie you love with the least amount of flaws, and that gets a 10. That's the most any of us can do, especially us amateurs who haven't studied film in a serious, professional capacity.

I evaluate a film based on how well it clicks for me, personally - aesthetically, emotionally, spiritually, how the performances work within the film, how it all comes together, etc.

Like I said, the film that does this the best, with the least amount of flaws, is a 10 for you.

Seven Samurai is my favorite film of all time. I think it's one of the greatest films ever made, but its flaws are a slow beginning, a lack of blood, some OTT performances, and some bad fight choreography. But I give it a 10 because I've never seen a film I love more with fewer flaws.
