I recently became friends with this 56-year-old man and we’re having a movie night tomorrow together. He wants to show me the “trio” of the greatest movies ever made: The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption & Casablanca. Haven’t seen any of those (probably cause of my age: almost 22). For me the 3 greatest movies ever are Titanic, Lord of the Rings 2003 & Spirited Away. Wondering what those are for you.
Blazing Saddles - Best comedy
Alien - Best horror
Predator - Best action movie
What makes them the greatest is I have watched them dozens of times and enjoy them every single time. There are movies that don’t come to mind that have more technical execution or better acting, but each one of these just nails what it was going for in a way that makes every single scene engaging and satisfying.
Special mention: Hardcore Henry - Greatest video game adaptation
