Favorite Movies

I am new here so here is an icebreaker. I am retired from a Human Services Career. I have been studying the Film Industry for Decades. I am a little rusty and out of practice. So I am currently an amateur working towards becoming a professional. I am working on writing and producing scripts.

Anyway, now for something lighter- What are your Top Three Favorite Movies? We should get an ongoing discussion going. My Top Three-

Blade Runner

Excalibur

Wings of Desire

Of Course there are many other great films but those are my current Top Three.

[Please excuse the Unusual Capitalization. It is a quirk of mine from studying Philosophy back in my University Days.]
