Welcome to MB

You mentioned avid movie watcher what your top 3 favorite movies.

Thanks for the welcomes everyone!

As for movies I have a horrible time listing them and narrowing it down to only three. Let me throw some names around.

The Godfather I
The Godfather II
Part II is probably my favorite; But both of the first two have always blown me away since I first watched them. III isn't awful, but simply can't stand up to the first 2.

Psycho
I never cared at all for horror movies until I watched this movie. It changed everything for me. I'm not sure why, but it did. Just a great movie. The acting was amazing unlike many horror films I'd seen previously, Hitchcock is simply a genius for me. A favorite for sure.

Taxi Driver
Raging Bull
Goodfellas
Casino

If you can't tell I like the Scorsese/De Niro combination. A lot.

So very cliche like I said. haha.

Welcome!

Awesome movie list, man. I can relate.

Thanks for the welcome.

Also, I forgot to clear this up in my original post. My username comes from a song off of the first Gris album, black metal band, and means "The scar of a healed wound."

Welcome to MusicBanter!
I know that you'll have a good time here.

Smoke dope

Thanks for the welcomes.

And whats up, Mondo?
