If you had to recommend 3 movies to someone what would they be?
Note: Movie series count as several movies (LOTR, H. Potter, Star Wars, etc). Pick only the episodes within the series that you'd recommend.
Depends entirely on the person's taste...
Off the top of my head, maybe three Russell Crowe such as: Cinderella Man, Gladiator, and either A Beautiful Mind or Master and Commander
If I go the Robin Williams route, I'd probably recommend Patch Adams, The Awakenings, and either Jacob the Liar or Bicentennial Man
If animated is the way they want to go, then probably Bolt, How to Train Your Dragon, and either Kung Fu Panda or Prince of Egypt.
If they are looking for war, then probably Enemy at the Gates, Saving Private Ryan, and the third could be just anything like...Black Hawk Down, Thin Red Line, We Were Soldiers, etc etc etc
As for non-CGI animation, I'd probably say Road to El Dorado, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and The Lion King... so many quotes...SO MANY QUOTES...
Um... If we're going space, then probably Armageddon, Red Planet, and something like Apollo 13
I mean...I've wasted my life on so many movies...YEARS WORTH OF TIME...that I would literally just have to ask them what kind of movies they liked (Specific titles/genres and why), and then make recommendations based of what I know about their taste preferences.
