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

I need to add a 4th film:
The Sting.
So clever and brilliantly put together.

The Sixth Sense (so cleverly done);
It’s a Wonderful Life (for Christmas only);
The Godfather 1, 2 and 3 (the last one’s nowhere near the same standard, but ties the loose ends up, and yes, I know I’m cheating).

I always forget about Some Like It Hot ( great film) and have watched it many times.Introduced it years ago to our children who loved it, and DD bought it and watched it last year with teenage DGS who thought it was hilarious too.It stands the test of time.
