These 36 movies earned rare 5-star ratings. Here s why and where you can watch them Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
The Arizona Republic doesn t hand out a lot of five-star reviews. That s as it should be. It s a rating reserved for only the best movies. Not perfect films once you get past Citizen Kane, perfect is a pretty tough, if not impossible, standard to meet. But some movies come awfully close, and those are the ones that we recognize here.
Our rating system says five stars means great. While that s accurate, it only scratches the surface of why these are the few movies that stand above the rest. Whether comedy or drama or some combination of the two, these are movies will not disappoint.
