Mine are....
1) The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance
2) Godfather
3) Box of Moonlight (quirky movie I learned to really like)

I'm old:
Scrooge (Alistair Sim 1951)
Dr. Strangelove
A Shot In the Dark (and all the rest of Pink Panthers with Sellers)
Gotta add One more:
A Gathering Storm. (HBO film loosely based on Churchill's diaries just before the war with Albert Finney & Maggie Smith. No blood and the best movie I've seen in a decade.
You can tell that I like it 
3, even 4 is too short a list. So many good war movies and adventures etc. I love the first Harry Potter movie for instance.
Nice thread and I'm headed for the popcorn.

I agree about Goodfella's, awesome movie, it is right up there with The Godfather.

I always feel left out when these threads are posted because I can't name just one (waaah), but... three are allowed here... and I still can't control myself:
1. Anything from Lord of the Rings
2. Anything from Star Wars
3. Anything with vampires (???)
Some wall-pasting favorites (subject to change):
Alien, Aliens, Seven, Heathers, The Sixth Sense, The 13th Warrior, Blade II, Vampires (John Carpenter), Critters, Nightmare On Elm Street (original)

3? I can't do that - it is tooooo hard.
Here's my top ten:
1. The Lord of the Rings - Trilogy
2. American Beauty
3. Dreamcatcher
4. Dawn of the Dead (the original 1978 classic!)
5. Wyatt Earp
6. Leon: The Professional (uncut version)
7. South Park: Bigger, Longer, Uncut
8. The Green Mile
9. A Clockwork Orange
10. The Terminator Trilgoy
Other movies that kick ass:
The Shining - Minority Report - Pink Floyd: The Wall - The Godfather 1, 2 & 3 - State of Grace - Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 - Spiderman - Rock 'n' Roll High School - It's A Wonderful Life - 10 to Midnight - Evil Dead 1 & 2 - American History X - The Life of David Gale - Ten Little Indians - House on Haunted Hill (remake) - True Romance - Reservoir Dogs - Kalifornia - Forrest Gump - Scarface - Helter Skelter (with Steve Railsback) - Goodfellas - Interview With A Vampire - The Rocky Horror Picture Show (a twisted classic) - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest...
I could go on and on for days. I love movies and books as much as music. They are a great escape from a life of agony.
Peace,
Carl D
