Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)

“Whether the film is the "best" of its lot, as many have called it, or merely the most polished is beside the point. "Return" is essentially the closing act of an epic play.” –

“It's all here, just like you remember it -- but somehow more imposing, like an ancestral memory. The movie that reinvented Hollywood has itself been reinvented, with craft and care.” –

Do the Right Thing (1989)
92%
“[Do the Right Thing] combines the sternness of a 1960's civil rights sermon with the antic vigor of a Shaft or a Cleopatra Jones movie and gets more visual spectacle out of its $6.2 million budget than Batman gets out of its $35 million.” –

“As perfect and perfectly disturbing a picture as the American cinema has delivered. This masterful film taps unflinchingly into perversion and decadence in order to present wholesome enlightenment with both a challenge and a conduit.” –

“It is a stunning movie whose audiences might even try to keep from blinking, lest they miss a split-second of the exquisite wit and artistry. Beyond animation, the Disney version may even be the most appealing narrative musical since West Side Story.” –
