1) Lord of the Rings The Return of the King
2) The Fellowship of the Ring
3) Two Towers


Technically, three movies, but I prefer to think of them as one BIG LONG-ASS movie with two year long intermissions (unless you have them on DVD)

Same with Star Wars and a couple of other series.

Example:
Mad Max (liked Road warrior best, Thunderdome was such a let down, though)
Star Treks movies (minus the odd numbered ones - generally)
Blade (bring on Trinity)
The Matrix

Damn, I've already passed my limit of three.

Stand alones: (recent - and not neccessarily my favorite three just three of them)
Snatch
Fight Club
Armageddon

There should be catagories for this thread (drama, action, comedy, horror, etc.)

Watched Dawn of the Dead on PPV last night - that was a damned fun ride too.

Das Boot
Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies)
Ghost in the Shell

Braveheart's definately in my top 10...it's inspiring.
I hated that movie, it is no where near close anywhere close to history, and all the Engish are evil. though if your about to play a rugby match against a then it's good to watch.

I would need to take a lot of money out of the cash machine. Maybe if the team got a little pool running.

How would you decide who gets it though? Most home runs or something?

It is a good thing that issue never came up.

Power hitting was not our strong point. I would say that drunkeness, more or less, was our strong point. And in that aspect it would be impossible to discern a most valuable player as we all managed to overachieve.

hmmmm, then its down to the honoured tradition of paper stone scissors to see who gets it then?

Maybe, I fear that stone would become fist when introduced to paper. We were not renowned for civility in defeat, and Bunny would be quite the trophy.

I surmise that since I wore the "C" I would take the honors.

In the end I think Brad would just slip off with Bunny while we argued.

Nah, he already paid his $100 to watch....no action for him!

anyone here seen 'Withnail & I' starring richard e grant? its the funniest film ever, about two wasters in the late sixties in britain. they go on holiday to the country. Withnail's gay uncle follows them because he fancies 'I'.
anyway thats would be number one, and two would be 'Where Eagles Dare' with richard burton. the best spy/war film ever. three would be another of the big british 60s war films with an all star cast, like a bridge too far, the longest day or the battle of britain.

1) Garden State
2) Requium for a Dream
3) Donnie Darko

In ascending order:
1) I, Robot. (Sorry Klonor!)
2) Gladiator
3) About a Boy

I have many fav movies, and it depends on my mood which ones I regard as my favorite movies, but I try...
1. Amelie
2. Fight Club or KILL BILL
3.Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind or Triblettes of Belleville. :)

The Life of Brian
Withnail and I
Krull

my top 3

Dune
Fight Club
Ghost in the Shell


And if i could go on:

Blade Runner
Arlington Road
