Following on from Neil's "3 Must Have Albums (http://www.newminiscotland.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?21802-3-Must-Have-Albums)" thread...

What would be your 3 Must have DVD's?

Very difficult to choose and I must have 50 or so I could put in here but as it's my own rules..

1. Local hero (1983) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085859/) - "Did you cook my rabbit?" IMHO, one of the best films to come out of Scotland - ever. Period.

2. Fargo (1996) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116282/) - "The heck dya mean?" - The Coen brothers best film ever.

And the final film, I could list The Shawshank Redemption (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111161/), The Green Mile (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120689/), The Dish (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0205873/), The Dark Knight, (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/) almost any Spielberg (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000229/) film, etc., etc.. basically any seriously quality film with depth, story, quality acting and excellent direction. but really, if I was stuck on a desert island, I'd just want a frikking good laugh. So, my third choice would be...

3. Mars Attacks (1996) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116996/) - "ack ack, ack, ack, ACK, ACK!" - One of Tim Burton's best, an excellent cast and so tongue-in-cheek it's painful.

Over to you guys..

1. The italian job,(charlize Theron one) come on should be everyones number 1 :lol:

2. Independence day, watched this more times that any other film, love will smith in it, classic american cheese.

3. Pulp fiction, probably seen this 20 times, I love the script and it's about 10 movies in one.

[Gismo]

1) One flew over the cuckoo's nest
2) Silence of the lambs
3) Reservoir dogs

[Ferengo]

1) Aliens: Personally Camerons best in my opinion. Done on a tiny budget but man, a great film.

2) Super Troopers: I hated it the first time I saw it but after a second watch I finally got it. Great laugh.

3) When Harry met Sally: A classic, what more can you say?

1. TOP GUN I don't care what any of you say, I love this film and thats that!! :p
2. IRON MAN Nothing to be said about this film, it's awesome end of story :yes nod:
3. CITY OF ANGELS Really great film.

There are loads of great films and would have liked to add more but Andy is only allowing 3... :rolleyes:

Just thought, I've never seen the hunt for Red October and always meant to. So have now bought it.

I'm glad i'm not alone on the Top Gun from Zimbo!!

1) Top Gun - Watched this film when I was about 5, and I put it down to my love for all things aviation!
2) Aliens - Again, watched this film at about 12 and scared the living buh-jesus out of myself, but love it non the less. "PUNCH IT BISHOP!!"
3) Leon - Just an unbelievably good film.

I was really temped to put the Italian Job in there, but at a choice between that and Leon, Leon just shades it!

[The Dogfather]

Casino Royale - the new one obviously
The Dark Knight
The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Oh, and they should be on Bluray not DVD, sheesh!

[zimbo]

The DARK KNIGHT is an awesome film, and would have been on my list but we were only allowed 3 (Blu-Rays) :rolleyes:

[AndyP & Lenore]

Casino Royale - the new one obviously
The Dark Knight
The Good the Bad and the Ugly

Oh, and they should be on Bluray not DVD, sheesh!

It's not everyone who has a Bluray player...:hand:

A.:D

[AndyP & Lenore]

1) One flew over the cuckoo's nest


Particularly poignant in our household just now.:smilewinkgrin:

A.:D

[ELFMAN]

THREE? THREE?? THREE??? Impossible. right... here goes:

Lord of the Rings Trilogy (does that count as one or the whole three?)
An epic tale based on the simple values of loyalty and friendship.

Battle of Britain
A fitting tribute to "The Few". Without the sacrifices of that generation, we'd never have had it so good...


The Italian Job*/American Grafitti (can't make up my mind) *Original with Michael Caine and his "Bloody Doors" - the new one with 'our' cars is good, but the original's the best!
The Italian Job. The best 'Caper Movie' with the best wee car and one of our best actors. Captures and preserves that fleeting 60's Vibe.
American Grafitti. Music, Hot Rods and Girls. Does it for me.

Can't we make it a 'Top 10'? Three's just too limiting - every time I type one, I think of another three brilliant films...
ps 'Goodbye Pork Pie' - had that on VIDEO years ago (still have it somewhere), great wee film!

[minimad]

hi folks my three are 1...THE GODFATHER(what more can i say)
2...STARWARS (original trilogy)
3...LA VITA E BELLA(life is beautiful. Roberto Benigni oscar winner what a film!!)
3...THE PIANIST(simply astounding)
3...GLADIATOR (russel crowe)
sorry theres three number three's but couldnt leave any of the fore mentioned out!!

[Sheilz]

I like some of the old black and white Scottish comedies Whisky Galore, Greyfriars Bobby and The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

My taste in films is pretty unsophisticated !

[G17RDY]

Mmm, top three - difficult to nail down just three, ok so this is a selection of three DVD's from my top ten!!!

ROBOCOP
LORD OF THE RINGS
BATMAN BEGINS & THE DARK KNIGHT (they count as one!!)

Others notable entries would include....

THE MATRIX
i,ROBOT
TEAM AMERICA (Just for a a good giggle)
JAWS
KICK-ASS
GLADIATOR
MEN IN BLACK

Oh the list just goes on and on and on and on........
