Gonna put me name down for

Forrest Gump, and it's not because people think I look like Forrest !
The Green Mile, the big fella shows us what a Sudanese lad could end up looking like !
Paulie - only at the end do you realise ......

Hot Fuzz- pommy action comedy, say no more


Shaun of the Dead- zombie comedy from the same director/actors as above


The Prestige- dunno why, but great flick

1) Mr. Reliable - Aussie film based on a true story.

2) Shaw shank redemption.

I only have two favourites. Both films end in a way that just left me in a really good mood.

Edit: 3) Hot Rod. Andy Samberg is funny as shit.

The Apartment - 60's classic

Trainspotting - 'it's shite being Scottish'

Thin Red Line (best war film ever) tied with Into the Wild (killer storyline) tied again with American Beauty (no happy ever afters)

Tough one for just three!

I'd have to say in no particular order:

Top Gun - classic 80's fighter jet/love story that you just cant go past! Especially when you've grown up watching it...

The castle and most other Aussie movies such as the nugget, cracker jack and bad eggs.

Fight club - do I need say more??

Others that I want to see: the exorsist, the saw series shaun of the dead and others I can't think of right now - not all gory movies

Cheers

Hmmm, Blood Diamond, Silence of the lambs and Snatch off the top of my head but if you asked me in 2 weeks I'd probably give you 3 different answers like The Exorcist, Green Mile and Drop Dead Fred.............. those above I've found watchable more than a few times.

Number 1 for me has to be The Aviator; at the time I found this movie I just happened to be researching Howard Hughes and marveling at his life, then finding a movie about him made my day. Leo did it so well, the movie was pretty accurate historically, has some absolutely fantastic aviation scenes and I could name every song on the sound track

Number 2 Spirited away; can't put my finger on why but I just really love it.

Number 3 is kinda tied between a few crappy ones; The Mask, Happy Gilmore (I grew up with them and no matter how many times I watch the jokes never lose their punch hehe) or Terminator 2 judgement day (was huge when I was a little kid)

I have been told I have no taste in movies though; Didn't like Scarface, Pulp fiction, Batman the dark knight and I find most Disney Pixar movies cringe worthy.

Ok There are so many. A few good ones listed above.

Movies i love are

1, God's must be crazy. South African Comedy movies about white men and bush people in Africa. So ****ing funny!!!! good movie god's must be crazy two isnt that good but its ok.

2, TAXI but its the French movie

3, Tooo many its harder for me to choose cause i've also got French movies to decide from But a third in particular but whats good is movie special effects are getting pretty cool those days, Maybe not really great movies but good effects. I do also enjoy watching documentaries on animals, nat geo and stuff, pretty interesting stuff.. Ohhhh and watch the MAN, bear grylls do his stuff..., lol crazy ****er!!!

But yeah if you don't know gods must be crazy, Its a must to download and watch..., you won't regret it. Its a early 90's movie.

The Castle - says it all

Gallipoli - because these men were men !!

Man from Snowy River - because it's god's country

could we split this into genres eg. 3 for horror, 3 for horror comedy, 3 for comedy, 3 for action, 3 for romance, 3 for kids movies etc. Hey why not TV series as well?

Yes I watch way too much television. my 3 all time favourites would be; the evil dead trilogy, up and scarface.

TOONGA

the challenge is to narrow it down to 3 but why not, if you wanna go genre , TV etc go for it !
Silence' brought back some memories, then there was Sliver with Ms Stone

The Castle for me.
Remember watching it for the first time on lounge chairs in a theatre called the Piggery ? at Byron Bay in about 1997. Its gone now I think it burnt down years ago.
Who hasnt found at times the need to use the analogies of this movie.
Tell them they are dreaming, its the vibe, gotta move the Torana to move the etc, etc, Commodore, its rissoles love, Jousting sticks, how much are they asking for them.
