agsnowdon Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hey I want to make a list of a load of films to take back to UK with me when I go back, which isn't for a while yet so got loads of time to make a great list. What would be your top 3 or even 3 suggestions, I love all sorts of movies. So I look forward to your input. Cheers Ash [Edited by Scouse] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRIPxCORE Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sorry, I forgot to recommend something to the OP. The one necessity to have in any film collection must be two of the greatest films ever made. They are Godfather l & ll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexth Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The Devil's Advocate Scent of a woman Meet Joe Black Leon Legends of the Fall Seven Years in Tibet The Godfather Scarface Hearts in Atlantis Forrest Gump A Beautiful Mind Something's Gotta Give As Good as It Gets Indecent Proposal Bicentennial Man Well, I think it's more than 3 movies, I haven't posted them by any order, just remembering what I really enjoyed, there are many not less important but that's what crossed my mind at the moment, anyways, I think it's a good thing to have these in your collection.

lampard10 Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 My favourite film of all time is one that nobody seems to mention ( or see for that matter) All about SE Asia in the time of war, fantastic true story filled with really good acting. One hill of a weepie. Oliver Stones third film of his trilogy. ' Heaven & Earth' I think it's a must for lovers of the far east. In close second must be ' Alien' So far ahead of it's time it made the World tremble. Third I'll go for comedy fantasy ' The Princess Bride' Filled with fun, laughter & a great music score from Mark Knopler Mind you in that catagory 'Ladyhawke' was great as well. After that...........well most of the rest of the film world ties for fourth place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickmac Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 What about some of the old classic movies that are still available:- The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca.......... Bogart at his best. Double indemnity..............Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyck, with screen play by Raymond Chandler. As mentioned by other posters, the list could go on and on and on.

ProfessorFart Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 The Exorcist - possibly the best film ever made. Far better than all of this over rated Godfather nonsense. Texas Chainsaw Massacre - The original (although the remake isn't too bad) Classic former 'pirate' movie. Shot on a low budget but still stunningly grotesque. Poltergiest - Spielberg's only venture into the Horror genre which is a shame as he did a bloody good job with this film. The Killing Fields - The best account of the Pol Pot regime on film. A brilliant film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autonomous_unit Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 A certain type of "date movie": Snow Falling on Ceders Chinese Box I like a story with some flawed characters... A Rob Zombie date movie? House of 1.000 Corpses Talk about flawed character. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poltergeist, a good one. The rest are movies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
