To ask what your top three films are

[whatsallthehullaballoo]

1. Top Gun
2. Empire of the Sun
3. War of the Roses

Only have a top 5 sorry ...in no particular order...

Shawshank Redemption

Fight Club

Usual Suspects

Kick Ass

Butterfly Effect

In no particular order:

Goodfellas
The Wedding Singer
From Dusk til Dawn (complete with a tattoed George Clooney, back in the days when everyone thought he was straight...)

For me, your top 3 films have to be ones you'd always be willing to watch again. Hence 3 other films which I think are incredible don't make the list either because they are too sad and if I watch them I end up a horrible teary mess (Dr Zhivago, One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest) or because they're just too bloody scary (The Shining).

Yes the wedding singer I forgot that one !

Les Diabolique
Inception
Terms of Endearment

Dirty Dancing
When Harry Met Sally
A Few Good Men

Amelie
Il Postino
Life is Beautiful.

oh and
To Kill a Mockingbird.

sorry to say but im another dirty dancing best film in the world so says i and my bezzy mate

next'd be look who's talking the first one, i love kirsy alley and john travolta i wish they'd marry in real life

third one i think'd be a tie between grease and the lion king - two totally different films but i love them in equal measures :) not too keen on many new ones / modern ones i prefer comedy dvds to movies these days

Aww crap :( I always find it so hard to think when asked a question like that. Have name changed since this morning I was JustANickname. I would also like to add both star wars trilogy's, back to the future trilogy, the butterfly effect 1 and 2 have yet to see 3 and the saw films (I know I know but I actually think the story lone is interesting!) and ANY film with a clever twist at the end. I could go on an the list will be about 100 so I'll just stop clogging up the thread now...

Alien
Terminator
Ghost

The Princess Bride
Dogma
Pride and Prejudice (Yes, the Keira Knightley one, yes I know it's wrong but it's one of the few films where I have watched all of the extras, even the Director's commentary)

Arghhh so many...as others have said will change:

American History X
Amelie
Terms of Endearment

But just so many. But actually recently I haven't seen any films that I've thought wow I love that film, maybe cause haven't go time to watch films

Midnight Express
Sleepless in Seattle
Digby the biggest dog in the world

Life is Beautiful
Les choristes
School of Rock

Ooooh, bloody hard but -

1. The Cabinet of Dr Caligari
2. Reservoir Dogs
3. Imitation of Life

... Possibly the most random Top 3 EVER!

Dumb & dumber - always always makes me laugh out loud
Ring of bright water - always always makes me cry
Nuts in May - laughing & cringing in equal measure

as everyone has said these are a snapshot of my favourites this minute.

Blimey though, a few of the choices on this thread would fall into my worst films category!
