Three favourite movies

[BritManToo]

American Beauty & Fight Club

Those two movies changed my life.

I even got the same deal from my employers, a years wages not to go back.

Number 3 would be Unforgiven (Clint Eastwood and Gene Hackman).

if you think Unforgiven is just a "Western" then you know absolutely nothing about cinema.

I care little for IMDB's classification. Calling it a Drama and a Western undersells the movie.
