List 3 Favorite Movies

[Rainbow Mage]

What three movies would you list as your top three all time favorites, and why? My choices-

1. The Time Machine
2. Scream
3. Star Wars Episode VI

The Time Machine remake, I am speaking of. The reason being that I think the movie has an important moral behind it. One shouldn't worry about trying to change the past, they can only change the future. Scream, because I had to throw one thriller in there, and Scream is my favorite one. Star Wars Episode VI because the Star Wars series in general is awesome, and Episode VI is so touching, the way Darth Vader redeems himself at death.

Not easy to list my favorite movies, there are so many!
12 Angry Men
Inherit the Wind
The lives of Others

My list changes but these are the first three that come to mind.

1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Clementine reminds me a lot of myself. And the whacked out love story is just too cool. It's a mess and I love it.

2. The Crow - Why not? The soundtrack is still one of my favorites.

3. Don Juan DeMarco - Johnny Depp.

Today the three films I like best are.

Burmese Harp (Best anti war ever made) must see for all Buddhists who like good films.

Seven Samurai ( made by the Best director in the history of film )

Fast Times at Ridgemont High ( Just joking )

Citizen Cain ( Had to put an American in the top 3 other wise it would be Walkabout )

Seven Samurai ( made by the Best director in the history of film )

Ooooh! That is one of my favorite movies too, followed by Rashomon and Yojimbo.

Well.. I definitely haven't seen enough movies in my lifetime to really ADD to this post, but out of everything I have seen so far -

I Heart Huckabee's

Is Anybody There?

Moon

are the most universally speaking movies I know of, but I love a lot of movies that capture specifics as well and can't really be defined as the 'best'.

OK I'll leave The Princess Bride out of this one, if I may blaspheme.


Brazil (1985)- Terry Gilliam gives us his take on all those Orwellian trends which make us go *argh*. while some movies about dystopian realities take themselves dead serious, Brazil gives us a great satire, and while other movies focus on mindless blockbuster style action, Brazil makes our brain work that extra mile. bizarre as only Gilliam is capable of making it, not a movie for everyone, but for anyone interested in dystopian literature and just interested in these trends in modern society and for the person opened to the eccentric, this is a formula for a great ride.

Limelight (1952)- Great texts, great performance, sensitive and also sad, this movie is a great work, which goes beyond Chaplin's known political satires and into a very humane story and characters, in a time when we are used to special effects in making an interesting movie, Chaplin delieverd great dialogues which actually make one go into the characters and into the text.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)- A great cinematic remake for a short story from the Jazz Age published in 1922. the interesting concept of the story is made into an outstanding story line, with deeper implications. a man who is born old and becomes younger through the years, while this sounds ideal to people, it should be viewed as the movie presents it, as a condition which by its nature takes the main protagonist on a unique journey in life, a condition which is not without tragedy. another sensitive film, which makes one think.

Dances with Wolves - Undoubtedly my favorite movie of all time. Beautiful story, a soundtrack that is absolutely powerful beyond words, breathtaking cinematography.

Schindler's List - Deeply moving. I love true stories, particularly about individuals who have made a profound difference in the lives of others.

Crash - I couldn't stop thinking about this movie for days after I first saw it. I loved the way it showed how interrelated our lives are and how there is both incredible good and incredible evil in every one of us.

If you want me to give you my second three favorites, my third three favorite, and my fourth three favorites, I'd be happy to! (I have such a hard time narrowing it down to just three.)

12 Angry Men
Inherit the Wind
The lives of Others

I've never seen any of these, but I've seen both "12 Angry Men" and "Inherit the Wind" as plays and they were absolutely phenomenal. I absolutely LOVED "Inherit the Wind." Tell me a little bit about "The Lives of Others." Based on your other two choices, I might seriously want to rent it.

Lives of Others is about a secret police agent in east Germany before the fall of Berlin Wall. He listened to a famous writer's secrets and became increasingly absorbed in his life. It is a moving tale. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The atmosphere is so tense that you feel oppressed for a few days after you watch the movie. Das Leben der Anderen (2006)

1. King Kong (2005 one)
......because it's got really good actors and a good story, and good scenery. I like Jimmy and Mr. Hayes. It's a sad movie, but I like it.

2. Without a Paddle
......because it's funny and it's got Seth Green in it. I love Seth Green. :danana:

3. Aladdin (The Disney one)
......I just love the Disney movies from when I was little. Aladdin, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast are the best ones ever.

Hello gorgeous!

I'll be back with my top three all time favorite movies. It's gonna take a while to narrow it down.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

This is a ridiculously impossible exercise. It would be hard enough picking three all-time favorites per genre.

If I had to pick three, I'd pick the following (at least today, this hour, this minute), because they were movies that I instantly loved when I first saw, had a particularly poignant impact on my life and perspective at the time I first saw them, and they are movies I have watched many times and never get tired of watching:

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
The Shawshank Redemption
Dune (David Lynch ver.)
