Can't do only three.
Akira (if only for the last 3rd of the film where everything gets crazy)
Aliens (so quotable)
Terminator 2 (ditto)
The Fifth Element (ditto)
The Princess Bride (ditto)
Airplane! (ditto)
Star Wars (even the shitty prequels)
Star Trek (even though less than half of them are actually good)
Conan The Barbarian (the original, because it taught me what is best in life)
Wall-E (d'awwwwww)
Ghostbusters (because bustin' makes me feel real good)
Beverley Hills Cop (doo doo doo-doo-doo doo doo....)
Total Recall (the original, because that Arnold puppet choking on Mars is awesome)
Starship Troopers (would you like to know more?)
Tron (both of them)
I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
Can you tell I'm a nerd that was born in 1980?

1. Gattaca
2. Sunshine
3. Manchurian candidate.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

God why does everyone think Shawshank is so great? In the Name of the Father is a much better prison movie - and if you want better still see Hunger. If you want a prison escape film see Escape from Alcatraz. There you go that's three movies better than Shawshank.

nawwwwwwwwwwwww
Some movies can thrill you.
Some movies can surprise you.
Some movies can make you sad.
Some movies can make you happy.
Forrest Gump was one of those movies that could make me happy,for what reasons i'm not sure.But i really enjoyed it for making me happy.It was fun to see him join the army and meet his long lost love hehe I could relate with him when he ran a marathon because he felt like it.I do stuff like that too,i sometimes go to beach at night alone and just sit there and look at the beach because i felt like it,i sometimes stand up because i felt like it,it's wierd people think there should always be a reason.It was also a hilarious movie.C'mon tell me you didn't crack up when he thought he invested in some sort of fruit.
All in all,although retarded it was a funny movie and had a lot of meaningful thoughts in its meaningless.I've never seen a movie like Forrest Gump,it is as unique as it gets! ^.^

The best parts of Forrest Gump are his childhood, Vietnam, and the love story with Jenny. I won't lie: his "I might not be a smart man, but I know what love is" line gets me every time. Same with him breaking down at her grave at the end, thankful that his son doesn't have the same mental deficiencies he does. That stuff is great.
Everything else is just dumb. Kind of fun in a "What if?" sense, but utterly unbelievable. The worst was him inadvertently inventing the yellow smiley face.
Awesome soundtrack, though.
