This is a good thread because there are one or two I haven’t seen so I can get them from the local library! I also liked Lawrence of Arabia back in the day.

Pretty Woman ... favourite
Dances with Wolves
The original Wuthering Heights

Namsnanny

There was another thread like this a short while ago, and no one had even one of my choices!

I like too many films.for different reasons, it's difficult to narrow it down to 3, but top of my list will always be 'Notes on a Scandal'
I was so glued to it time flew by, and in what seemed like a second it was over!
Probably 'The talented Mr Ripley' with jude law. From Patricia Highsmiths book.

And if I'm only allowed 3 it's a toss up between 'The Four Seasons' with Alan alder. And 'Last of the Mohicans' directed by Michael Man. Now I know lots of people like LOTM so I'll go with that, then at least I will be included this time

For some reason the more I love a film the less likely I am to rewatch it. The exceptions being LOTM’s which I can watch over and over again and never tire of. And, I’m not a great one for love stories, but I think it’s one of the greatest romances of all time. And the music is wonderful.

Blade Runner
Shawshank Redemption

Difficult to pick a third, tomorrow I might change my mind. Having said that today's choice is ...

Trainspotting

or is it ...?

Gone with the wind
The hairdressers wife
Wings of a dove

Puzzler61

Cast Away
Waterworld
On Golden Pond

Cabaret

The Commitments

It's all about the music for me

The Sound of Music
Some Like it Hot
Random Harvest

And three more for sheer joy of the music and dancing:
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Grease
Oklahoma

Got it:

Third one is Saturday Night Fever for the sheer joy of the music.

The English Patient
The Blues Brothers

Will have to think about the third one
