Dr. Strangelove
A Clockwork Orange Spiderman II |
I don't think I could pick just three......but as of right now:
1. Indiana Jones (1 & 3 mostly) 2. Star Wars (all) 3. Victor/Victoria |
Hearts of the World, 1918
D.W. Griffiths best work. The film was commisioned to induce the United States into WWI. The U.S. entered the war, however, before the film was completed, so he used actual combat footage. Besides...Lillian Gish was just freakin' adorable. Casablanca, 1942 Need I explain? Arguably Bogart's best work...unless, of course, you're a Philip Marlowe fan. Toss up between The Postman, 1997 and The Patriot, 2000 I'm not a big fan of either Kevin Costner or, Mel Gibson, but both gave excellent performaces in their respective roles. For Sheer fun; Cutthroat Island, 1995 The absolute best part being when Gena Davis, presumably beaten and about to be killed by Captain Dog Brown, uncovers a 12 pound cannon aimed directly at him, glares at him, growls; "Bad Dog", lights the fuse and blows him out the back of the ship. Freakin' hilarious. I love it. |

I don't know if I posted here before and I'm sort of lazy today so I'm not going to check. :p
Picking only 3 movies is hard and might change with my mood, but I'm going to pick: 1) Swimming Pool: I love the actresses in this movie and the premise is interesting. Still debating on what actually occurs in the movie after many viewings. 2) The Good Girl: Jennifer Aniston is one of my favorite actresses and in this movie she's different from any other role I've seen her in. Plus, it has Jake Gyllenhaal and John C. Reilly in it. I like the transformation of the characters and the mix of comedy and drama. 3) Dial M for Murder: This is my favorite Alred Hitchcock movie. It has Grace Kelly, who is tied with Audrey Hepburn as my favorite woman of all time. I like that it is a simple movie, well as simple as Hitchcock can get. It's a good movie to curl up to on a lazy afternoon. |
Sin City
Terminator 2 Sound of Music |
The Godfather I
It's a Wonderful Life Casablanca |

My favorite movies are different from movies that I consider the "Best Movies" Favorites Le Samourai: If you like The Professional, especially the lone assassin with no life aspect, watch Le Samourai. It's great. I see a lot of other thrillers that seem to take a lot from it. Groundhog Day: Probably my favorite Bill Murray movie. It's so much fun. North By Northwest: I had to choose something from Hitchcock. I can't get enough Hitchcock, including the movies he made before he moved to the US. |

Its impossible to have just 3, but I'll pick 3 out of the long list:
Big Trouble In Little China Real Genius Day Of The Dead |
Hmm....
Remember the Titans North by Northwest The Shawshank Redemption |
wow. i can't believe i've never posted in this thread before...

Office Space is my favorite Comedy. pulp fiction, fight club, lock stock action comedy. casino, goodfellas, godfather2 mafia/gangster. Toystory(1&2), Spirited away, Iron Giant Animated movies. and even now, i'm not sure this is a final list. It changes too much. |

The Big Lebowski
Fight Club Death and the Maiden |
I'll try to pick 3 of my favorites.
Black Beauty Pirates of the Carribean While You Were Sleeping What Women Want ok, that was four. |
Love Actually
Hot Fuzz Zoolander ("There's got to be more to life than being really really ridiculously good-looking!") |
Damn...it's hard to narrow it down to three. Especially when my favorites change from time to time, depending on my mood.
Right now it would be (in no particular order): The Boondock Saints Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers Black Hawk Down Honorable mention: I could have replaced any of those three with The Searchers and not felt bad about it. |
Actually I'd be kind of interested to see if anyone's picks had changed since this thread started.
As for mine I would have to say 2001: A Space Odyssey A Clockwork Orange then either Blade Runner or The Princess Bride. They rate #3 and #4. Basically they flip depending if I'm in a jovial mood or depressed. |
I have so many movies that I love that I'd have to spend some serious time thinking to narrow it down to my top three. But off the cuff:
Pretty In Pink The Blaire Witch Project Fargo *must resist the urge to rattle off many more movies* Then there is a completely different category of moviedom that would be "Tom Hanks Movies". My non-three-conforming list would be: Forest Gump Castaway (brilliant writing, acting and gorgeously filmed) Saving Private Ryan The Terminal (yes, I know almost everyone hated it, but we love it) Ali |

Godfather 1 & 2 (I know they are 2 movies but you can't just count 1 and not the other..... 3 sucked sewer water though.) What about Bob The top 2 probably will never change the bottom one will alsway be in flow depending on mood, temperment and just what I am liking at the time. |

Gladiator The Lord of the Rings Trilogy |
1. wrath of khan
2. shawshank redemption 3. natural born killers |

As for me, I thought I posted here before, but here goes: The Syrian Bride Sideways Three Seasons Garden State (dammit, I can't help it) |
Girl with a Pearl Earring
Lost in Translation Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Yes, two Scarlett Johannson movies...suppose it's dictated by my mood today. Ask me tomorrow and they might be different, but generally I have a top ten, and if asked to pick less than 10, I pick from that list. |
Shawshank Redemption - I read and quite liked the short story first, the movie really lived up to my expectations.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - just the music and the theme, I would watch it anytime just for that. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - this is probably on here because I watched it recently. |
Goodfellas
The Godfather II Grandma's Boy |
um....any list i give is just a function of what i can remember right now and my mood. arbitrary, then.
vera chytilova: daisies andrei tarkovsky: solaris chris marker: la jetée i love napoleon dynamite almost as much. |
This is an impossible question, but I will submit the first three that pop into my mind:
Cinema Paradiso The Bicycle Thief Sullivan's Travels |
Yeah, its a toughie and I took a few days to consider it...
Das Boot --Director's cut, undubbed Angels and Insects The Shining and/or Fight Club/and Fanny and Alexander |
The Thing-second one
Aliens My Fair Lady- Hey, what can I say.....Shes a perfect woman in so many ways |
Cabinet of Dr Caligari
Sanjuro the next three are in no particular order so I couldn't pick just one: Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary American Psycho Fear and Loathing |
Batman Begins- I'm a massive Batman fan and I can't get enough of this movie, The Dark Knight however looks like it'll surpass this one.
Hellraiser- One amazing movie. While HR2 is a better movie overall IMO, it wouldn't exist without the first one so I barely place this one before HR2. Transformers: The Movie (1986) - I have seen this movie over 200 times, literally. It was my favorite movie as a kid and it still is my favorite movie. |
i haven't even seen most of these movies listed (including fight club) . . . but let's see . . .
love stories: loving annabelle, when night is falling, & 2 girls in love other: labyrinth, friday, & serial mom picking 3 was too hard, so i didn't. |
