If you were only allowed three movies to watch ever again

[Trumpysgirl]

Hypothetically, if say there was some new government mandate that forbid the watching of any movies other than three that you would be allowed to pick out in advance, what would they be?

Or, to be less weird, what movies can you watch over and over and never get sick of?

My choices:

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Kung Fu Panda
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[Junkyard]

The Back to the Future trilogy.

[mrbasehart]

Once Upon a Time in the West
Blade Runner
A Matter of Life and Death

[SmilinJackRoss]

Just so my bases are covered:
Glengarry Glen Ross - One of my all time favorites, all dialogue, with amazing actors and performances.
Die Hard - To fill my shoot-em-up action adventure needs.
Dumb & Dumber - When I need a laugh.

So unfair though, cuz I'm leaving out dozens of beloved classics.

[Doctor Who?]

1.Animal Crackers

2.Citizen Kane

3.The Empire Strikes Back

[Relaxing Dragon]

Ooh, well first I'd probably cry for a while at the thought of all the movies I couldn't watch again, and then pick:

Grindhouse (counting this as one movie) for my action, gore, zombie, and Tarantino needs
Shaun of the Dead for the laughs and additional zombies
The Shawshank Redemption for the uplifting feeling, which I'm going to need when I realize (again) how many movies I can't watch anymore.

[THE QUEEN!!!]

1.Animal Crackers

2.Citizen Kane

3.The Empire Strikes Back

All great choices! I can watch Animal Crackers all day and never get sick of it. Here would be my choices:

1- Singing in the Rain
2- It Happened One Night
3- Animal Crackers

[TeamRAD]

This is simple...

1 - Amelie
2 - RAD
3 - Big Trouble in Little China

[Doctor Who?]

1.Animal Crackers

2.Citizen Kane

3.The Empire Strikes Back

All great choices! I can watch Animal Crackers all day and never get sick of it. Here would be my choices:

1- Singing in the Rain
2- It Happened One Night
3- Animal Crackers

Yeah I figure Animal Crackers would be good when I want comedy(I have been watching it since I was four and still have not gotten tired of it),Citizen Kane would hold me for drama/artsy picture,and Empire Strikes Back would do me for action movie.

Singing in the Rain may be the only musical I can ever remember enjoying at all.

Good choice.

[gbeenie]

Young Frankenstein
The Godfather
The Omega Man

[Courtney]

Sixteen Candles

Say Anything

Back to the Future  ... or Clerks 2.

[bettertomorrowamy]

The Big Lebowski

Bull Durham

The Fisher King

[bratpop]

I would just make three movies about me kicking the guy who came up with that mandate in the balls. Take THAT, hypothetical GUY.

[Johnny Unusual]

I would go with...
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
The Jerk
The Princess Bride

[mearnest]
