Your All Time Top 3?

holy crap, this is tough....this is so tough, I've been sitting here for 15 minutes now. Okay, wow, I'm gonna try to attempt this. *kitten*

1. Harsh Times
2. Boondock Saints
3. Full Metal Jacket


These are the only three I could think of that A.) i own B.) I've had to either repurchase cause I lost them or they were too scratched up to watch and C.) I can probably recite from beginning to end.

GAH, I forgot Boondock Saints!! Another awesome one! I only like FMJ up until Pile has his meltdown.

I always had issues with the blanket party part of FMJ.

what, you felt left outta the party?

lol... you don't feel sorry for him? I mean he's crying... he's a grown man and he's crying.

um, grown men do cry...not like a bunch of girls, but it happens. if something comes close enough to their heart, anyone will break down and cry.

just sayin...

FMJ - I CANT HEAR YOU!

There's Something About Mary
Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail
Ella Enchanted

"Bring out your dead"

I loved this movie. My Western Civilization professor in college would bring up this movie often but I was the only one in the class that had seen it.

1. The Lord of the RIngs Trilogy

Beyond that I would have to break them up by genre.

Well, I just had to chime in to bring some sanity to this thread.

I didn't see ANY of the Godfather films on this list, which makes me sad, but I'll put up

The Godfather part 2 ("I knew it was you Fredo!")

Dune (the original, uncut version, OUTSTANDING screenplay, followed the book almost to a T, and Sting as the Harkonnen Fayde Rautha, just perfect! Gotta read the book first though, or you'll be lost.)

This was a tough one, there are so many, but I wanted to put in a comedy, and of course my favorite comedy of all time, some of the best lines anywhere was...of course...

Spaceballs! (ok ok, Life of Bryan came close, as did Monte Python's The Holy Grail and Shawn of the Dead, but you gotta give it to Mel Brooks, he kicks *kitten* with his one liners).

favorite Spaceballs quotes:
"She's gone from suck to blow!"
"Funny, she doesn't look druish!"
"They've gone plaid!"
"I bet she gives great helmet"
"I'm a Mog. Half man, half dog, I'm my own best friend!"

Also ran movies:

The usual suspects
The 300
The Program
Jurassic Park
The Dark Knight
Major League (back when Charlie Sheen was cool!)
Hot Shots (see Major League)
The Breakfast Club (Before Jud Nelson became a douche!)
Ben Hur

okay this thread has gotten outta hand....i'm breaking these lists into sub-genres.

Best Naval Flicks:
1.) Das Boot
2.) Hunt For Red October
3.) Crimson Tied

Best Vietnam War flicks:
1.) Apocalypse Now
2.) Full Metal Jacket
3.) Deer Hunter

Best War Adaptation flicks:
1.) Band of Brothers (tv series, but whatever)
2.) Blackhawk Down
3.) We Were Soldiers

Just saw Saints...loved it...or maybe I loved it because the actor was hot :ohwell:
:laugh:
doesn't really matter

So odd how people have such different tastes....most of the movies that have been listed so far, would be on my worst list....maybe it's me?:indifferent:

Some of my favs

Gladiator/Last of the Mohicans
Amelia
Bronx Tale/Goodfellas

Ok, and though not award winning.....Breakfast club, Sixteen candles, Pretty in Pink, St elmo's fire... c'mon...

1. TOP GUN (can't believe nobody had said that one yet!!)

It's good but not Top 3 worthy.


Talk to me, Goose.

Oh yes it is top 3 worthy!! Well to any woman it should be! Tom Cruise was HAWT! before he went crazy anyway!

Take me to bed or lose me forever.......show me the way home honey!

Shooters ( because my daughter was an Extra and Mark rocks he was great with the kids )
Pursuit of Happiness ( I cried like a baby )
Flowers in the Attic ( its actually a serious of books that are much better than the movie )
