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

Some Like it hot (I still laugh every time I watch it)
Pretty Woman - a nice love story.

I haven’t seen the one with Patrick Stewart in it, but O’Toole for me was the epitomal Henry II. Full of restless energy and the charisma just crackled off him like static electricity.

I was listening to You’re Dead to Me about Eleanor of Aquitaine and they mentioned The Lion in Winter. Must watch it. This thread is making me want to see so many films!

Lion in Winter
Sin City
Casablanca
Two out of the three will be the same next week, but one will change and does so regularly.

Really depends on the mood I am in but off the top of my head

Secondhand Lions
Hot Fuzz (or any Simon Pegg film)
and I will probably get shot down for this but my absolute favourite is The Usual Suspects

So difficult to choose, and it may be different tomorrow, but here goes

Interesting that they are all foreign language films
