If you were only allowed three movies to watch ever again

[D.B. Barnes]

Yea, screw the banks!. It's these G.D. film production companies that need to be regulated!!! 

Seriously, though, this is a tough one. These usually come in the form of the "top-ten list" where you have some wiggle room, but three?!?

Okay, here goes:

"Annie Hall"
"Fight Club"
"Pulp Fiction"..no wait! "Monty Python and the...aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!"

That's the point, what would you choose if you had no wiggle room? Plus, it's more fun this way.

[MontyServo]

Anchorman The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
Duck Soup
The Great Escape

[ebeth]

Hot Fuzz
Big Trouble in Little China-for the commentary
and
Skyscraper starring Anna Nicole Smith as a Helicopter Pilot who is fighting a bad guy who quotes Shakespeare with a lisp.  I have never laughed so hard at movie in all of my life

[Plastic Self-Cleaning Duck]

Holy crap!     This is assuming that they can't stop me from replaying movies to myself in my head....the ones I've seen a million times.

I think this is my list:

[James of LinHood]

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Back to the Future
Gladiator

[THE QUEEN!!!]

The Third Man
Seven Samurai
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

you were smart to pick 7 samurai-- a 4 hour movie that has everything--action, comedy, romance, suspense, etc. Shoulda thought of that. I'm gonna be stuck on an island with 3 short movies.

[Action Batch]

The Empire Strikes Back
Fight Club
Life of Brian

[Charles Castle]

Once Upon a Time in the West
Touch of Evil
Mulholland Drive

There's a plot and characters? I must have skipped that part.

If the plot revolves around a slo-mo shower scene where she soaps her self off while apparently having an orgasm then yes, a plot.  You know, I myself have never been that excited to take a shower. I mean sure, it feel nice and everything, but not THAT nice

Welp, there goes my libido.

Hmmm... This is really difficult. I mean, there are a lot of kneejerk movies I think of that I just don't know if I could still watch them after the 40th viewing. And then, should I choose something with, say, Jenna Haze in it just so I have that base covered? So I'll just think of movies that I've watched over and over again since childhood and can still watch.

1. Jaws
2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
3. The Wolfman

Though, Bride of Frankenstein, which someone referenced above, would be in a much bigger list.

[TheTaxidermist]

1. Back to the Future (Part 2)
2. The Great Escape
3. Rocky

When The Great Escape is on, I can't stop watching it. 

[mearnest]

1. Back to the Future (Part 2)
2. The Great Escape
3. Rocky

When The Great Escape is on, I can't stop watching it. 

The Great Escape is an all around fantastic movie, made even cooler when you realize that several of the cast members were actually POWs during WWII.  Also, I wanted to add that my fourth choice would have been Jaws.

[bratpop]

I think it's simple really: you need a violent movie, a funny movie, and porn. Or... three movies that have all of the above.
