I recently had a procedure done and ended up needing to spend the day in bed.

While resting I watched (with napping) three movies.

1) Lifeforce
2) Flesh and Blood
3) Dogs of War

Really enjoyed them all.

What three would you have chosen?

William Warner19 Feb 2025 10:42 a.m. PST

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (my all-time favorite)
A Bridge Too Far (great action movie)
Sgt. York (haven't seen it in years but I love Gary Cooper)

Wackmole919 Feb 2025 11:20 a.m. PST

1 The Searchers
2 Guns Of Navarone
3 Raiders of the lost Ark

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 11:46 a.m. PST

True Grit (either version but probably the Jeff Bridges one)

Die Hard

Star Gate

Tough to narrow it down to three, but here goes:

1. The 13th Warrior
2. Serenity
3. The Mummy 1999

KevinV19 Feb 2025 12:18 p.m. PST

Very hard choices, but I just watched:
On Her Majesty's Secret Service
Burn
Maximum Overdrive

KevinV19 Feb 2025 12:20 p.m. PST

I also recently re-watched The Dogs of War, it was way better than I remembered from the 70's. Not as good as the book, but rarely do I find that happens. Still, a very good watch.

If I were sick tomorrow and had to chose three movies, right now I would go for:

LOTR: Fellowship
The Magnificent Seven
Battle of Britain

Personal logo Herkybird Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 12:45 p.m. PST

Starship Troopers (1)
Robocop
The Last Starfighter

nnascati Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 12:46 p.m. PST

Picking three is tough. I'd probably go with -

Casablanca
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Elevator to the Gallows, French Noir with a soundtrack by Miles Davis.

Last time I was confined to bed for a medical reason I had so much morphine being pumped into me I would have napped off after 5 mins regardless of how many movies I could have blitzed through but would probably choose any of the first seven Bond movies.

d88mm194019 Feb 2025 1:44 p.m. PST

All great choices!
I could only add Kelly's Heros!

Personal logo David Manley Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 2:23 p.m. PST

I'd say that was a pretty good choice :)

robert piepenbrink Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 2:39 p.m. PST

Depends a lot on the day. For dialogue
Lion in Winter (O'toole/Hpeburn)
The Wind and the Lion
Casablanca

For mindless entertainment, Raiders of the Lost Ark and the first two Brendan Frasier "Mummy" movies. Nothing like danger, romance and lost cities in the desert.

Lots of good choices on the thread.

JMcCarroll19 Feb 2025 2:46 p.m. PST

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Kelly's Heros
Empire strikes back

And a thanks to all that jogged my memory.

Koyaanisqatsi

From Dusk til Dawn
The Wave
Donnie Darko

Shagnasty Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 3:50 p.m. PST

The Maltese Falcon
Casablanca
Key largo

pzivh43 Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 5:30 p.m. PST

The Four Feathers (1939)

Personal logo gamertom Supporting Member of TMP19 Feb 2025 5:50 p.m. PST

Hmmm, it is a hard choice, I think I would go with three old war movies from my childhood:
Pork Chop Hill
Sgt. York
Run Silent, Run Deep

smithsco19 Feb 2025 8:40 p.m. PST

The Searchers
Last of the Mohicans
Wind River

Tough call. It would depend partially on what kind of mood I was in. Possibilities include:

Kelly's Heroes
101 Dalmatians
Master and Commander
Something with John Wayne -- maybe The Shootist
The Enemy Below

Choctaw, "Nobody sits a horse like Monte Walsh."

I like Selleck's and Marvin's versions, for different reasons.

Marvin's Walsh: "I ain't spitting on my whole life"

Waterloo
A Bridge Too Far
Zulu

Honorable Mention:
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon
Battle of Britain
The Longest Day
