Hmm..........oh that one......ok.........seen that too....Is there another movie called Labyrinth? Maybe I just remember the name wrong...oh well..

 

[loudsilence]

Shawshank Redemption
Donnie Brasco
The Stoned Age (hehe just kidding)

 

[Torgoth]

Braveheart
Angel Heart
Trainspotting

 

[JesusChristPose]

this is a completely subjective topic, but there are important factors with regards to film-making that would prohibit many movies from ever being considered...

1. The Godfather Saga - re-edited by the director, Mr. Coppola, himself, that takes both movies and creates one single masterpiece.

2. One Flew Over The Cuckoo Nest - The performances by all were just too damn outstanding. Well written, well directed, funny, sad, dramatic...wow.

After these 2 movies, I can't just pick one more as the 3rd best because there are so many others that are, to me, deserving to be number 3:

 

[slingblade]

the exorcist
star wars
austin powers

 

[Devilish monster from the hill]

Sorry, can't pick 3. Here are my favorite movies...
Koyaanisqatsi (the best movie ever!!!)
American History X (it rules also)
Memento (very original!)
Leon
Fight Club (I don't think I need to tell ya about it...)
Forrest Gump (Run, Forrest! Run!)

 

[sidarta]

1-definitely Fight Club,
2-LOTR
3-mmmm hard to find but i have to say that The Game was pretty good and also Snatch is one of the best movies i've ever seen..and also matrix..
i'm sure there are great movies i forgot to think for this question.. it's really hard to choose..

 

[sidarta]

i forgot a very great one;
Being John Malkovich (fantastic movie isn't it?)

 

[Duvall]

Are you asking OUR favourite three? Or the best three ever?

My favourite three:

1. Dancer in the Dark
2. Das Boot
3. The Elephant Man

They change now and then..

The Stoned Age? Schnapster! *ding*

 

[BillowOfZeal]

The Stoned Age (hehe just kidding)

Aww man, I LOVE that movie, seriously. I was going to start this joke gore metal band and our first demo was going to be a theme album based on this movie ......"these aren't talls, man" .OX 45 ......" we're going to fuck 'em doggy stlye and shit on their parents' bed." ...damn i love that movie

[Sullen Jester]

The Dark Crystal
