 If You Could Only Watch 3 Movies... Pretty straightforward question. If for some reason, you could only watch 3 movies for the rest of your life, which ones would they be?
For me, it wouldn't necessarily be the best movies, but the ones that I find very rewatchable. Probably something like:
Good Will Hunting- Ok fine, it is my favorite movie of all time, but I can still watch it over and over again and never get tired of it.
The Birdcage- Probably my most rewatchable comedy ever. The jokes still get me every single time.
Jurassic Park- It's just a lot of fun to watch.
I'm sure there are some others that haven't come to mind, but this is it for now at least.
So, what would yours be?

Easy. The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
If I had to pick three movies besides those:
The Princess Bride
Jurassic Park
and.....hm....
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
All three of those are great, fairly dynamic stories that never gets boring. A lot of great unforgettable moments.

Singin' In The Rain- Because it's simply the best, most joyful movie ever made. And I'd need a musical.
Manhattan- I'd need a Woody Allen movie as well, so I might as well have my fave. The incredible black and white widescreen cinematography doesn't hurt.
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp- Most directors make one-course meals. Powell and Pressberger never settled for that, at their best, making gigantic feasts of imagination and originality bursting at every corner with ideas and innovation. Colonel Blimp isn't my favorite of their films (that'd be A Matter of Life and Death), but it runs almost three hours (important when I only have THREE movies) as it chronicles the entire adult life of a man.
So I pick those three.

Tough question:
JAWS for sure as it is my fave movie and i have probably watched it more than 200 times so far anyway. Then perhaps it would be STripes, because it is one of the funniest films ever and then perhaps The Goonies.

Hmm tough call
Raiders of the Lost ark- for thrills, action, adventure, and badass hero
Ghostbusters- I want something funny with comedians in their prime, killer soundtrack and is a great comedy
If my third film was a horror movie it might be From Dusk til dawn or The Thing

No, I'm going to replace yours with the following:
The Little Mermaid
There's Something About Mary
White Chicks
There, that should give you hours of joy and pleasure.  _________________In order of preference: Christian, Argos MadGez wrote: Briefs. Am used to them and boxers can get me in trouble it seems.

Jurassic Park - Insane fun
Donnie Darko - At least I can spend all the time trying to figure out the details of the plot
Battlefield Earth - Once I decide to commit suicide, I'll just watch this ten times in a row
