Top 3 movies

Sween · 08-27-2002, 06:45 PM

my top 3 movies of all time would have to be

Number 1 - Lord of the rings - Fellowship of the ring

Number 2 - Star Wars - Return of the Jedi

Number 3 - Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back

I guess i have a thing for swords.

BeardofPants · 08-27-2002, 06:55 PM

*refrains from commenting about Swords*

1) 2001
2) Bridge On the river Kwai.
3) The Empire Strikes Back.

4) A New Hope.
5) Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark/ Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Sween · 08-27-2002, 06:57 PM

i allways though the new hope was a bit crappy.

Lizra · 08-27-2002, 10:04 PM

I haven't seen many, but these I can watch repeatedly

1. Godfather part one
2. Godfather part two
3. Sargent York

Honorable mentions for the first Star wars, Coppola's Dracula, Saturday Night Fever, and Urban Cowboy. Oh yes, FoTR!

Elvet · 08-27-2002, 10:50 PM

I watch many movies, both at the theatre and at home, but I rarely watch them multiple times. So my top 3 would be the movies I've watched more that 5 times:
Fellowship of the Ring
Jurassic Park
Pride and Prejudice (all 6 hours)

BeardofPants · 08-28-2002, 01:29 AM

I only watched Saturday Night Fever recently. It was... harrowing. I was expecting another light hearted movie like Grease!

Ooh, I forgot about the Godfather series!!! I'm putting them in instead of the Indy movies...

Lizra · 08-28-2002, 07:16 AM

Oh man! The Godfather is truely awesome!! Remeber this scene, Genco's deathbed, old Vito gets "all" his sons, even Johnny Fontaine to the deathbed to pay their respects. Genco wants Vito to call off the grim reaper.....Godfatha, Godfatha........... "This my friend, I can not do".............Whooo!

Saturday Night Fever sends chills down my spine, the disco scenes are so accurate. The clothes! To the "T"

My favorite scene, probably the line dance to "Night Fever". I'll have a "seven and seven"! "I just LOVE to watch you dance"!

Hasty Ent · 08-28-2002, 09:15 PM

My top 3 at the moment

1 Apocalypse Now (NOT REDUX, but the original)
2 The Conversation (Gene Hackman is absolutely brilliant)
3 Charade (Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant -- need I say more? -- and those opening credits with that music!!)

and close behind (sorry, I know this is supposed to be top 3, but there are so many favorites...)
4 Solaris (someone told me this is being remade -- how can you improve on Tarkowski?)
5 Dr Strangelove
6 La Dolce Vita
7 Seven Samurai

BeardofPants · 08-28-2002, 09:16 PM

Oh damn. I forgot about Apocalypse Now (the redux is... weird....) and Strangelove!! Oh, I give up! I can't even manage to reduce it to five...

osszie · 08-28-2002, 09:51 PM

1)2001 ...............on lazy days

2)Seven............on hazy days

3)Quadrophenia....on crazy days

cassiopeia · 08-28-2002, 11:58 PM

My top 2 are The Fellowship of the Ring and The Great Escape. I'm not sure about the third; maybe Star Wars, one of the Indiana Jones series or 2001.

Sween · 08-29-2002, 10:17 AM

Ive never gotten round to watching the godfather movies or the great escape. it was on at xmas but my cousin made me watch escape to victory which is not one of the best films ever made

Andúril · 08-29-2002, 04:09 PM

3) Terminator 2
2) Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!
1) Freddy Got Fingered.

cassiopeia · 08-30-2002, 12:50 AM

Doh, I forgot to say my third could be A Hard Days Night. John is so funny and cute. *sigh*

***IronParrot*** · 08-30-2002, 01:38 AM

My goodness, you guys can narrow it down to three?

I have enough trouble trying to squeeze ten in...

Liviaine · 08-30-2002, 10:52 PM

FotR
Monsters, Inc.
#3 is hard. Lilo and Stitch, maybe?

By 2003 you can guess what they probably will be.

Grey_Wolf · 09-01-2002, 07:50 AM

My top 3 movies are:

1. John Boorman's Excalibur.

2. Payback (Mel G).

3. The Last Boyscout (Bruce Willis)

Rána Eressëa · 09-01-2002, 09:36 AM

1.) Labyrinth (Jennifer Connelly, David Bowie)
2.) Legend (Tom Cruise, Tim Curry)
3.) Gladiator (Russell Crowe)

(others...)
4.) Quills
5.) Interview with the Vampire
6.) Ransom

webwizard333 · 09-01-2002, 12:52 PM

1. Star Wars-A New Hope
2. Airplane!
3. Rat Race

Of course, in a few minutes, I'll have decided upon a completely different list of my top three movies. It's to hard to decide.

Liviaine · 09-01-2002, 08:42 PM

Yes, it is. I've changed.
