If you could narrow your favourite films of all time down to just three, which would they be?

Mine would be:
Midnight Run
It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World
South Pacific

The Graduate
The Bridges of Madison County
Shawshank Redemption
Dustin Hoffman such a brilliant actor.
Clint and Meryl could teach the young ones a lot.
The music of Shawshank - it just soared...

So good you posted them 17 times bridie54 grin.

I really struggled to get my shortlist of 6, and now have to reduce it by half, oh dear. Oh well, here goes:

Lion - without a doubt the most heartbreaking, poignant and ultimately uplifting true story of a 5 year old Indian boy who gets on the wrong train and ends up hundreds of miles away from his family, in an area of India where they speak a different language, so he can't even make himself understood.
Life is Beautiful - I see many people have mentioned this one.
What we did on our holiday - starring Billy Connolly. If you haven't seen this film, please watch it if you can. It is so moving, and so beautifully done.
