Name your three favourite films?

It’s a commonly asked question I know. My three faves in no particular order would be “Shawshank Redemption, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Crash.

Other Strong Contenders include Good Will Hunting, Amelie, The Closet, The Castle and for an action flick I am going to throw in The Fugative.The best date movie of all time has to be “The Notebook.” Guys I actually cried watching that, did you?s

What are your favorites? Comments and discussion please.  Tommorow I am going to do the three worst movies so think about that one too.
