Simply a Perfect Scene...

Finding a scene one would label perfect is not an easy task. Especially when you consider the overkill of the word "perfect" - and its related components. But perfection means exactly that - it is without the capability for improvement. Now, we all know that's entirely an arbitrary and impossible to determine attribute, but all the same it doesn't mean I'm going to try. Perhaps the closest scene I can think of that in terms of all the defining factors of the film, that I would change nothing is the shootout scene outside the church in Road to Perdition. The lighting, score, camera angles, shots, pacing, sound, and expressions on the characters' faces are all exactly as I would dream them to be were I to ever direct such a moment in a film.
