I know that's not a lot but I want to get to the real favourites. No honorable mentions allowed.

3. Le samourai (1967)

Such a cool flick, the opening scene with Delon laying on the bed smoking is simple yet it could be a painting.

2. Killing them softly (2012)

This film is depressing in an entertaining way. Interesting characters, every scene takes it's time.

1. Badlands (1973)

Is there a more beautiful film? You would almost forget the tragic things that take place in it.

Yes, I like crime films. These 3 films also show my idea of america. I know le samourai is french and doesn't take place in the usa obviously but it's heavily influenced by film noir.

All the central characters are in a sense loners, those characters are most interesting to me because they often have a unique perspective on life.

So.. what's your top 3 and do you love/hate these films?

Requiem for a dream: hold the first spot since I saw it for the first time. Saw it a good dozen of times since.

Friday: funniest movie in the world. Saw it about 50 times.

Fight Club: Every time I watched it I picked up something new. Saw it about 5 times and I guess this is my idea of America.

My favourites change all the time but....

The Princess Bride (1987) is always the first movie I think of when someone asks.

The Full Monty (1997) I still find it funny and heart warming. (I usually hate comedies)

The Sting (1973)
