What would you consider the 3 greatest movies ever made? (lemmy.world)

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.

Glad to see some Nausicaa appreciation! Such an awesome movie!

It's my favourite also! In my final year of high school I wrote a comparative essay on it and Dune (the novel), so I watched it repeatedly throughout the year to work out how I was going to approach the essay. I must have watched it over 20 times throughout my life and it's reached that rare point where my familiarity with it somehow enhances everything about it, making it even better than it was the first time I saw it. It's the film I compare all other films to - whenever I see something great I think "okay but was this as good as Nausicaa (the perfect 10/10 film)?".

Yeah I saw warriors of the wind when I was very young and never knew the name of the movie but would go up to videos stores in the 90s and basically discibe the movie. Girl on a glider chases after giant bugs. No one knew what I was talking about. Then when Disney did the release with news dub in 2005. I saw a ad for it on TV at like 2am and freaked woke my parents up and everything.

It's too bad we had to get worse voice acting to get the whole plot. For anybody that would like to compare, Warriors of the Wind is available on archive.org
