Hello all. I was wondering, if you had to pick your 3 favorite movies of all times, any and all catagories, which would they be? I think mine would have to be (1)The Usual Suspects (2) The Exorcist (3) Apocolypse Now Redux

Not sure if these are my top3 - that would take some thinking, but a top3 that come to mind

Blazing Saddles
Fight Club
Buffalo66

kewl....i like the first two choices of yours but i have never seen the third one. who stars in it? and what type movie is it?

Wow! This is hard..... I love so many movies in different genres....Um...I guess" Dances with Wolves", "Dangerous Liaisons" and "There's Something about Mary" (that movie made me laugh til I thought I would pass out.) After I post this I will disagree with what I said. LOL

LOL....yeah i know this topic was very tough for me. Already i have thought of about 10 other movies that could be in my top 3. I like every movie you mentioned also. That part in "Something about Mary" with the *ahem* haircream was a RIOT!!! I couldnt stop laughing.

Yeah, the "hair cream" was hysterical, I also laughed til I thought I would fall over when he got himself stuck in his zipper, it looked so real!

Wow, Alessa. Love your movie taste!

My three: (1) Shawshank Redemption, (2) Dances with Wolves, (3) Platoon (Dangerous Liasons came close)

Brazil, A night at the Opera (by the Marx Bros), Chungking express (maybe the american name is HongKong express ?).
Oh, and all the animated movies from Hayao Miyazaki.

My fav's are :

Forrest Gump

Dirty Dancing

&

What's Eating Gilbert Grape?¿


:D

Oops forgot one. My latest fav's are We Were Soldiers with Mel Gibson and Meet the Parents!

How could I forget about Shawshank Redemption?! Great movie. My favorite writer Stephen King! (And my husband watches it EVERY time it is on!)

They all are good movies what about Stripes, Silence of the Lambs(all 3), Joe Dirt, Tora, Tora, Tora, Pearl Harbor, Midway, Porkys

Pearl Harbor sucked.

"Pearl Harbor" sucked....hmmm.....not sure I'd go that far, but it really irritated me that Disney cleaned it up so the Japanese woulnd't be offended. Go rent "Tora, Tora, Tora" for a better movie on the same subject.

3 Favorites? That's really tough. "Forrest Gump", " The Longest Day", "A Hard Day's Night".

Pearl Harbor is a WB flick. Disney had nothing to do with its production.

No, it's not. Check this out: http://video.go.com/pearlharbor/index.html

this is the "official" site for the movie, and states that it is a product of Buena Vista, which is a Disney controlled, if not wholly owned entity.

Sorry I didn't mean to offend anybody I was just throwing some more movies out there I thought pearl Harbor was ok , not great. what about caddy shack, every which way but loose, or how about rocky all 500 hundred of them ha! ha!

A great movie is not necessarily one that receives critical acclaim or delivers some type of message. For example "My Cousin Vinnie" is a pretty dumb plot, and funny as can be. Marisa Tomei picked up an Oscar for her part. If you want to see a movie that will really sit you back in your seat, check out "Radio Bikini", the story of the fouth and fifth atomic bombs ever built. You'll have to do some searching, may not be on DVD. It is a documentary, and about an hour long. "Band of Brothers" was a 10 hour series on HBO, and is well worth watching. Rocky movies? Sure! Bring on the Home Alone series, the Dirty Harry collection, Back to the Future, Deer Hunter, ....no shortage of good ones out there.

I'd have to say that I have a shitload of fav movies but two that come immediately to mind would be Blues Brothers and Stand By Me
