Sitting here with my eldest watching Gladiator - fantastic film and this has got me thinking as to what are my favourite three films of all time
So here goes
1. Has to be Star Wars - probably the very first one although I love Return of the Jedi (if only for Princess Leia dancing!)
2. Shawshank Redemption
3. Braveheart
However I also love the Wizard of Oz, Die Hard and Airplane
What are your favourite films
It's tricky, as films keep getting better and better, both in the storyline and in the quality of the production, so I'll list older films and new films
Older
1. Hopscotch - Walter Matthau and Glenda Jackson - a brilliant combination
2. Forbidden Planet - SciFi film that was way ahead of it's time
3. 2001
Modern
1. Inception
2. Chocolat
3. Indiana Jones (Original film)
I'm going to have to rock 2 lists here as well.
Older flicks:
Original star wars trilogy
Tron
Braindead
Modern movies:
Hackers
Clerks
Mallrats
Best of the rest though, i cant leave these out...

War games
The matrix (sequels were dull as [censored] though)
High fidelity
Saw 1-5
