I recently became friends with this 56-year-old man and we’re having a movie night tomorrow together. He wants to show me the “trio” of the greatest movies ever made: The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption & Casablanca. Haven’t seen any of those (probably cause of my age: almost 22). For me the 3 greatest movies ever are Titanic, Lord of the Rings 2003 & Spirited Away. Wondering what those are for you.
Seven Samurai, Blade Runner 2049, Chungking Express
Terminator 2, Home Alone, The Matrix

Brazil 1985

The matrix 1999

Nausicaa valley of the wind 1984
Glad to see some Nausicaa appreciation! Such an awesome movie!
Yeah I saw warriors of the wind when I was very young and never knew the name of the movie but would go up to videos stores in the 90s and basically discibe the movie. Girl on a glider chases after giant bugs. No one knew what I was talking about. Then when Disney did the release with news dub in 2005. I saw a ad for it on TV at like 2am and freaked woke my parents up and everything.
-
- Network (1976)
- Jurassic Park
- Pulp Fiction
Great movies, I love your choice of scenes.
None of those are comedies, and I would put at least one comedy into the trio.
My vote would be Blazing Saddles.
“Well raise my rent.”
The shaking “shooting hand” gag from Gene Wilder is a family staple.
I tried showing that movie to my Gen z little sister and she was mortified the whole time.
It truly was a different time.
- The Fifth Element
- The Matrix
- The Room
I will not be taking any questions.
+1 for The Room!
Off the top of my head:
- Pulp Fiction (1994)
- 12 Angry Men (1957)
- The Departed (2006)
- The Godfather III
- The Matrix Revelations
- Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
These are also my favorites(I’m retarded)
- The Raid 1/2
- Everything Everywhere All at Once
- Whiplash
- Interstellar
- The Dark Knight
- Avengers: Endgame
Ask me any other day and my answer will be different, just highlighting a few GOATs this tread is neglecting.
1: Raging Bull
2: Citizen Kane
3: Dr. Strangelove
I have no single favourite movie - three very different movies occupy my #1 spot:
- The Fifth Element
- The Shawshank Redemption
- The Princess Bride
Notable runners-up include Terminator 2, Arrival, Aliens, Dune(s), and The Life of Brian.
Terminator 2
Lord of the rings trilogy
Pulp fiction
I definitely recommend The Truman Show.
High and Low The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly True Lies
I’ve got to stop putting off High and Low.
