Ken Gargett Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 fascinating to see some of these. my top three would change every day i suspect. and several times a day. some of the films here all absolutely all time classics and some, for me, have rotten tomato written all over them. amazing how much people vary.

bunburyist Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Star Wars Trilogy (if just one Empire Strikes Back) Predator (''I'ma have me some fun, I'ma have me some fun...'') Rear Window Special mention for opening battle scene of Gladiator: The only one which has ever come close to the 'de-foliation' scene in Predator. Yes, I grew up in the 80s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKA27 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I would have to say (Apologies I have more than 3 top faves): - Star Wars trilogy. - Tombstone - Indiana Jones trilogy. - Seven Samurai. - Saving Private Ryan. - Batman series (With Christian Bale) - Terminator - Clint Eastwood westerns (They're all great!) What a tough question considering there are so many greats out there. I too am a movie buff, have an extensive Blu-Ray and DVD library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Gargett Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 thought the first star wars truly extraordinary, especially for its time. thought the second one even better. and it was all downhill from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokem Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 My list based upon the top three that I've probably seen the most times in my life. Wizard of Oz It's a Wonderful Life Star Wars IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torontonian Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Rear Window 'Rear Window' is probably my favourite Hitchcock film. Given that movies are for entertainment purposes (primarily at any rate), it's difficult to choose favourites. It all depends on one's mood, and so on. Anyway, I'm fond of, Gosford ParkTouch of EvilThe PianistKenneth Branagh's Hamlet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireDigger Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I have some favorites, but it's more like one absolute heads-and-shoulders favorite and a bunch of others. That movie is... Fight Club, for these reasons: 1. Dark and humorous, just the way I like it. 2. Got me into reading again with all the other Chuck Palahniuk books. 3. Introduced me to The Pixies, my favorite band now. Others, in no particular order: Leon, The Professional Cool Hand Luke Pulp Fiction Boondock Saints Taxi Driver In the Heat of the Sun (阳光灿烂的日子） Silence of the Lambs and so many more...

StumpyJoe Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Very tough. Even three films in any particular catagory would be difficult...didn't give it much thought until the question was posed. Well, here goes... The Blues Brothers (it's got everything...song, dance, car chases...Illinois Nazis!!!) The Good, the Bad, an the Ugly (one word...Tuco) The Maltese Falcon (Hammet, John Huston and Bogey) of course there are others in high rotation... The Thomas Crown Affair (the King of Cool in a suit) Ronin Spartan The Yakuza Tombstone The Man Who Would Be King (Huston, Connery, Caine...Epic in every way) Le Mans Tom Horn Escape from New York The Thing (Carpenter and Russel again) Big Trouble in Little China The Lost Battalion And so many more... And Ken G, perfect read on the Star Wars films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuscookies Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Shawshank Redemption ---> A beautiful reminder to appreciate life, regardless of the conditions. Fight Club ----> This is one of my all time favorites. Just an epic tale of sickness, and people on the fringe. Pulp Fiction ---> Another dark tale of people on the fringe. I can't get enough of stories like this. Honorable mentions: The Green Mile Mad Max ****** RocknRolla Slingblade I am sure there are others, but that is my short list.

lemmycaution Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Too many too list, I could never narrow it down. Off the top of my head...Le Samourai, Fireworks, Once Upon a Time in the West, Burnt By the Sun. I went through a phase of French gangster movies from the 60's-classics.
