Your 3 Favorite Movies

[dgfred]

Yesdachi has me thinking of my favorite movie of all time- Tombstone

I guess my other two would be Alien(s) and Kelly's Heroes or Das Boot.

What are yours?

[Tricon]

Just three? Impossible, sorry.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.
Das Boot (only in german, forget the dubbed version)
Lord of the Rings trilogy
Deathstalker II
Sin City
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - The movie (the german translation is actually funnier then the original, and the voices are good, too - a seldom enough case)

These are just current favorites.... this changes regularly.Though all six will probably stay in the top 20 for a long time

[miho]

1. Conan the Barbarian
2. The Godfather (trilogy)
3. Good, Bad and the Ugly or Se7en

I could go on further but these are just my top ones.

[Strike For The South]

1. The Rock
2. Mississippi Burning
3. Office Space

[dgfred]

List as many as you want , the more the merrier. 3 was just so I wouldn't get carried away. I love The Good, the Bad and the Ugly too.

You just have to love the soundtrack. Oh and I remembered that I also like Pulp Fiction and Tarantino's movies.

Yes, and Pulp Fiction is a favorite too...... dang, maybe I should have said
Top 10, 20 or more .

[miho]

As I think of it I can at least single out 20-30 of them but now I just can't remember. Kwai Bridge is also among my top 20. And there is one called "Ko to tamo peva?" which is the best comedy ever. It was made about 30 years ago in former Yugoslavia and translated it is "Who's singing over there?".

It might be easier to list the ones I don’t like! But here is my top 3 and the rest in no specific order.

Tombstone
Aliens (the one with the marines!)
Casablanca
Star Wars (just lump them together even though I like some better than others)
Indiana Jones (same as above)
LOR (same as above)

I'm not a bookshop keeper, but I'm considering become a librarian when I leave the Marine Corps (which will happen in 4 1/2 years.) There's just something romantic about meeting a woman in a bookstore, it's no surprise one of my teachers told me I'd probably end up marrying an English teacher.
