Here are my top 3 favorite movies. These are ones I can watch over and over and still not get bored with them. So in no order here are my top three…
My number one movie of all time. Well I should say the original trilogy as a whole is my number one pick. Star wars.
So my number two pick of all time favs is the awesome movie Kelly’s Heroes. If there was ever an ultimate bro-movie then this is it. A bunch of misfits coming together in the face of incredible odds.
And number three in my list is the wonderful Dazed And Confused. Whenever I watch this movie I wish I could go back in time and hang out with these guys. When you see these characters together you get a sense of wishing you could have been there with them. Such a great movie.
Actually, two of my favorite movies have been listed already, The Gods Must Be Crazy and Kelly’s Heroes. Surprised The Princess Bride hasn’t shown up yet.

Yep, read up to Tomtem and he had the three. Though Kelly’s Hero’s and the Great Escape are a coin toss…OMG - The Sting and “Butch & Sundance!”) — better stop. …The Hustler…Road to Perdition …Edge of Tomorrow, Postcards from the Edge, A Few Good Men…stopping for sure NOW!
Edit: the personal note, lol - I was raised on movies back when there was a big black cast iron projector in the booth. I know cuz my father was a projectionist. When I was five he brought me to work. The booth (that other men worked in had a strange naked lady calendar hanging next to the phone - dad told me it was nothing, but later noticed it was covered up - lol!) and sat me on a stool in front the small window and let me push the button to open the curtain. The movie was “Yellow Submarine” - I was disappointed cuz i didn’t get to see more of that yellow sub. Saw the projector change - then the multi-plexes and the three huge discs of film for each movie down the long wrap around and my dad suddenly running - but the first time I saw him time the splice film when it would break and people would boo, and telling me not to look (I peaked) at the bright interior of the projector - I was just proud he was this magical dad.
Pretty much was up in the booth or getting in a seat after everyone else that paid got their seat - for 10 great years until we moved – man! had to PAY for movies sucked – lol
Just gonna keep adding for bookmark, memory, needed to write these down for awhile - and nobody is reading the post anymore.
