List Your Top Three Movies

The Last of the Mohicans

Saving Private Ryan

The Last Samurai
 
Those are all good, but there is one so far out front that #2 and #3 are irrelevant:

Once Upon a Time in the West
 
Right now, it's: 1. Bladerunner 2. Monty Python 'Holy Grail' 3. any & all Eastwood 'spaghetti westerns'

thx - cpr
 
Have to go with...

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Rainman
3. Office Space

And two that I just saw recently but they deserve to be there.....

4. Bucketlist (just seen it tonight)
5. Pay it forward
 
These choices also help to bring out some movies I've
not seen, and a lot of them are ones I would also include
on a much longer list.

I have just under 600 DVD's in my movie collection, you might
say I'm a movie knut? :) no cable or satellite, just abc and nbc
right now, so this way when I get bored, I grab a movie and pop
it in, handy! I only buy movies that have repeatability of watching
some movies, due to how it ends just doesn't attract me, like
watching them but the ending ends it for me to watch again.
Like Sixsense, good one time but haven't had the urge to view
more than once or twice, second time to see what I missed ;)

Pulp Fiction
Clerks

ummm... it gets hard at this point

probably Star Wars (Episode IV)

original Star Wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings, Big Lebowski, Fight Club, Office Space, Shawshank. these are not far behind
 
Lawrence of Arabia, Great story and one of the most visually stunning movies ever made, the frosting on the cake is brilliant performances by Peter O'Toole and Alec Guinness

Capote, Philip Seymore Hoffman is pure genius.

Stranger than fiction, Will Ferrel is genius, Emma Thompson is sublime and Dustin Hoffman gives his best performance in years.
 
I gotta go with:
1) Poltergiest. (Still scares me)
2) Stealing Home. (Jodie Foster, Mark Harmon)
3) Spidermann 1
 
- If the Lord of the Rings trilogy counts as three, then thats my three.

- if not, I'll add "Castaway" and "Shawshank Redemption". Though there are plenty of others.

- honorable mention to the Disney-Pixar flavors like Toy Story, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo. Don't laugh.

The Boondock Saints
Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (great soundtrack too, BTW)
AI

It's hard to pick 3 and my list could change from day to day, but for now:

Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Silence of the Lambs

I have to admit I'm puzzled by the popularity of The Princess Bride. Maybe I was in a bad mood when I saw it the first and only time. :confused:

Well, it helps to be in the right frame of mind when viewing it
I think, we've seen it so many times now, my kids know the movie
dialog by heart!
Just something special I guess? and pretty funny too...
"Inconceivable!'
"you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means..." :)
