If you were only allowed three movies to watch ever again

I watch movies to escape reality, so my choices would be the escapiest movies I know:

1) Return of the Jedi: I've lost track of how many times I've seen it, and it still glues me to my seat every time I see more than a minute of it.

2) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Yes. The Disney movie.) I can't explain it. It's not the best incarnation of Hitchhiker's Guide, and it's probably not even in my top ten movies of all time, but whenever I watch it, I get to the end credits feeling  profoundly happy. In a "It's great to be alive!" kind of way. Doesn't matter what else is happening in my life. I just wouldn't want to face a world where I couldn't watch it again.  No other movie has ever had such a profound grip on my mood. Except maybe...

3) Who Framed Roger Rabbit: I am and have always been addicted to Cartoons, and when it comes to escapism, strange though it may sound, Roger Rabbit fits the bill for me. If I could live in a movie, I'd live in that one.  In toontown. :^)

I think this is my favorite list. Also cool to meet someone else who feels that way about the Hitchhiker movie :)

Man, I read all of your choices and you make me re-think my decisions. Thank God something like this would never happen, I'd go insane.
Dammit, Maverick! Why don't you play by the rules?!

My list:

Nightmare Before Christmas

Lord of the Rings (The whole thing, as it is really one long movie split up for similar practical reasons that the one long book was split up)

The Incredibles

1. Back to the Future (Part 2)
Good to see someone else loves that one the best of the three like I do.

1. If LOTR counts as one film, then I'd put it on my list, too.
2. BTTF 2 is also my favorite! But Empire is my favorite Star Wars....
3. Someone mentioned Hitchhiker's Guide and I enjoy it too---best parts are Stephen Fry's lovely silky voice reading straight from the book and those hilarious animantions.
