Torontonian Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 The Usual Suspects During my teens, 'The Usual Suspects' was my favourite movie hands-down. (Keyser Söze!) It all seems rather trivial now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I can't narrow it down to three (some of my fav's have already been mentioned Godfather I& II, Casablanca, Apocalypse Now, Good,Bad and Ugly,Wild Bunch,Wizard of Oz, The Searchers, SavingPrivate Ryan, Lord of The Rings Trilogy) funny that Gone with the Wind is not yet mentioned.Here are three more I always go back to that haven't been mentioned.. The Seven Samurai (Kurosawa at his best) North By Northwest (Hitchcock at his best) Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Speilberg at the top of his game) OK, then 3 more... Throne of Blood- Kurasawa does MacBeth Vertigo from Hitchcock Dead Man- bizzaro western with fantastic Neil Young soundtrack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeypots Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 GoodFellas, if it hasn't been mentioned. Shindlers List, I gotta tell you, as good as Private Ryan is, this is better. I have about a hundred that are great that have already been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Joe Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Though decision!

LeafLover Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 After the Sunset.........with Pierce Brosnan, Salma Hayek, and Woody Harrelson. Love the setting, Bahamas, great plot, and Salma Hayek in that is unbelievable.....mouth wide open in awe while watching her the whole time.

gfoster Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Gotta say my number one top film of all time will always be Coolhand Luke. I've watched it maybe a hundred times easily. Other than that, I'd have to say The Godfather and maybe Princess Bride (PB is in my top 5, just not sure if it's in my top 3). The gap between number 1 (coolhand luke) and number 2 (the Godfather) is huge for me though. Nothing tops a young paul newman cutting the heads off parking meters. -- Gary F.

Torontonian Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Another great GR movie was '******' Ah yes, a very quotable film: 'You're not a dog are you Gary? . . . And yet you have all the characteristics of a dog Gary . . . All except loyalty.' 'Tyrone, when you go in reverse, things come from behind.'
