Just three?!? Umm... Like Lilith, my selection changes frequently.

1) Dead Poets' Society (I love Robin Williams. I also love Ethan Hawke --- though for very different reasons! Plus I've just felt a resonance with this movie since the day I first saw it.)

2) Amélie (If the Cirque du Soleil decided to make a chick flick this would be the result... It's quirky, bright, sweet, and smart.)

3) Baraka (Okay, so there's no plot to this one. And no characters. It's still one of the most moving experiences I've ever had from just watching something. The movie consists of sequences filmed all around the world, kind of a day in the life of the earth, as it moves from dawn to dusk. It's breathtakingly beautiful.)
