[Closed] Post your three favourite films

Point Break
Duck Soup (Marx Bros, not Laurel & Hardy)
Talk To Her

Goodbye Lenin
Leon
Pretty in Pink

Star Wars

2001: A Space Odys... Odess...Oydis..Thingy.

Koyaanisqatsi

Although if Koyaanisqatsi isn't allowed cos it's a documentary, then Wall-E. 🙂

Once Upon a Time in America
Unforgiven
Clockwork Orange

No room in list for Raging Bull or Goodfellas, plus saw a film called The tree of Life a few days ago, blew me away. Very highly recommended.

Princes Bride
Imagine you and me
Pride and Prejudice*

*Yes, I know she can't act, yes I know it has a hollywood ending that's not in the book, don't care *blows raspberry*

Koyaanisqatsi thanks Elfin i've been trying to remember the name of that film for years it's the only film i have ever walked out of.

Ooooh, this is tricky...

Apocalypse Now
Blade Runner
Blazing Saddles

Although I reserve the right to swap the last two for maybe Zoolander or Dogma

Did I miss something special whilst watching Blade Runner? It seemed like a pretty average sci-fi to me, with the added demerit of having Sean Young in it... 😕

camo, I've had to sit through it as well, my housemate Chris luvs that film, must have 4 versions of it?!?!

dark and rainy, lots of talking about stuff I didn't understand 😥 with lots of violence for no particular reason as well.

I feel your pain, emsz

It's 'seminal', so my mates tell me, so maybe haven't given it the attention it deserves... Glad to know I'm not the only one who doesn't get it.

Aliens
Transformers The Movie
The Abyss

Oh, yeah - add Bladerunner to my list of 3 🙂

Koyaanisqatsi thanks Elfin i've been trying to remember the name of that film for years it's the only film i have ever walked out of.

Really? Any particular reason? I found it utterly mesmerising, simply beautiful.

In fact I think I'll watch it tonight. 🙂

Interested to hear your onions and thoughts on it though.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

Oceans 11, 12, 13 all at once so that counts.

Lords of the Rings Trilogy, all at once so that counts.

electric blue 3
ben dover (any of his films are good)
amber pays the rent

have to say never watched any more than 20 min of them, I soon get bored
🙂

most people i know who loved Koyaanisqatsi were very stoned at the time of watching.

(an observation, not an accusation)

And yet it passed me by 😥

really you dont get Bladerunner or roys last speech ?

Blazing Saddles
Full Metal Jacket
Big

really you dont get Bladerunner or roys last speech ?

I get it in the I-understand-it sense. I don't get it in the it's-an-unbelievable-movie sense.

Repo Man
Sullivan's Travels
My Name is Nobody

are you suggesting we have different tastes 😯

are you suggesting we have different tastes

I think I am.

* searches in vain for an emoticon indicating pointlessness. Opts for 😡 *

Se7en
Amadeus
Passion of the christ

No-one said Brokeback Mountain yet?

In order of preference -

1. Blade Runner
2. Platoon
3. Sideways

Oh yeah, Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July and Full Metal Jacket.
That's my 3.

Dez, you realise that your three favourite films can't be "all of them", yes?

camo16 - nice one with talk to her, saw it the other day in the cinema

for me:

funny games (only seen the original)
high fidelity
clash of the titans (original)

Asking around a while back, seems like for best results you have to have seen Bladerunner a while back, some of it feels pretty dated now and The Kids are pretty picky about stuff like that. Still love it though.

Die Hard
Die Harder
Die Hard 4.0

Back to back of course - grow old with Bruce!

Ghostbusters
South Park the Movie
Lost in Translation

The Spongebob Squarepants movie is first reserve, in case one of the first three get injured.

Oh **** how could I forget Beavis and Butthead do America, Twintown and Seven Samurai.

Black Hawk down

bollox double post

Mad Max
The Holy Grail
The Godfather

This is really tricky! A top 5 or 10 would be easier, but it's probably

Betty Blue
Renegade
The Matrix

But there are so many great films in this thread too. I can't decide if Star Wars should replace The Matrix in my list.

The French Connection

Man bites dog

Le Haine

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Alien

Aguirre, Wrath of God

No-one said Brokeback Mountain yet?

Tough one indeed..

Aliens
The Blues Brothers
Jaws

with Wall-E, Jungle Book, Le Haine, Platoon, Predator all up there as well.

2001: A Space Odys... Odess...Oydis..Thingy.

Dullest film ever.

The Music Box - it doesn't matter how many times I see it I always find I can't breathe for laughing.

Casablanca - if only for the scene when the Germans singing is countered with the Marseilles.

The Usual Suspects - although the film should end as you see as Kevin Spacey's foot straighten out.

And in reserve Tremors

Life of Brian
Brazil

1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Empire Strikes Back
3. Superman (great childhood memories).

In terms of sheer perfection and broad appeal

Back to the Future
Hudsucker Proxy
Monsters Inc.

ET was almost in there

Yes I like some "cooler" films, but they're either a). based on a book which is superior (Fight club) or just flawed in some aspects (Apocalypse Now, Blade Runner).

Big Wednesday
Dead Poets' Society
Blue Juice

A lot of good films out there but for me.

1. Fight Club
2. The Dark Knight
3. Donnie Darko

[i]2001: A Space Odys... Odess...Oydis..Thingy.[/i]
Dullest film ever.

It's all in the interpretation that film! It has many levels depending on how you approach it I feel!

Like impatience, boredom, drowsiness, dullness, irritability, and eventually coma and then death, by tediousness.
