thesaint sfc Posted 29 October, 2010 Share Posted 29 October, 2010 No long drawn out descriptions please - just say your favourite 3 films of all time. I appreciate you probably have more than 3, as do I, but as you're feeling right now - which are your faves which you will never tire of watching? Mine would be in this order: Leon The Professional Man On Fire Scarface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baj Posted 29 October, 2010 Share Posted 29 October, 2010 One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest I just didn't "get" it... It was enjoyable but I guess maybe it was overhyped for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperMikey Posted 29 October, 2010 Share Posted 29 October, 2010 I just didn't "get" it... It was enjoyable but I guess maybe it was overhyped for me. I think it's more the acting that endears me to it. Not a bad performance in the whole film - an absolute masterclass from Nicholson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 29 October, 2010 Share Posted 29 October, 2010 I don't have 3 favourite films anymore, to even try to name 3 would be insanity. As a child though and into my early teens, my 3 favourite films were: Back to the Future, Ghostbusters and Forest Gump. Ghostbusters has somewhat lost its charm, it certainly wouldn't be in my top 3 now, but I still rank the other two up there. Forest Gump is entertaining and sweet, Back to the Future is just a good story. Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors though, there's not many of his films I don't like. The Green Mile is one of the only films I've ever watched that had me close to tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
