If you were able to quantify your film favourites, what would be your top three? I think mine would be:

1. The Hunt For Red October
2. Red Dragon
3. Saw

Maybe we could get an NS Top 100...although that does seem a little 'Channel Four'...

I love so many movies, this is REALLY hard to choose a top three... But, here goes:

1. All Matrix movies -- but especially the first one
2. All Scary Movies, but mostly Scary Movie 3 (SO damn funny!)
3. The Grudge (this was the only scary movie that has ever scared me...)

Oh yeah and A.I.
OH! And the Day After Tomorrow
And the Truman show ... and Rat Race

It started as post your favourite movie, but coz people couldn't choose it quickly turned into list-mania.
