Okay so prepare to be geekified as the list will contain an homage to everything nerdy. Some minor spoilers and theories so if you don't want to spoil it for yourself you might want to skip it.

To be honest though it was a bit harder to just put 3 movies as I had to mentally list and then remove and then add a movie. It was as if 3 nerds were fighting to put their favorite movie in and there were shouting matches and even threats to delete some films on the hard drive.

So without waiting too long as they might start fighting again here are my top 3 all time favorite movies.

The Star Wars Trilogy

There is no denying that I love the Star Wars Trilogy. Hell, even my profile picture here is me playing on a VR headset Star Wars Battlefront 2! I added a nifty Sith lightsaber after. Oh, may I add that I was wearing a Darth Vader T-Shirt!

Nerd alert!!! Yeah, I am and I was in a Star Wars convention as well so saying I am a fan of Star Wars is an understatement.

What is not to love you have a young protagonist in a journey to know his origins and how to control this mysterious power called The Force. Put it some awesome lightsaber fights and striking back laser shots back to enemies and I was sold.

Later on, as my geekiness increased I even watched and read more about the lore of the Jedis from their fighting stances, to powers and even their philosophy and religion. It was a slippery slope of knowledge and information that I never got out.

Then you have beautiful princesses, snarky space buccaneers, quirky androids and of course Darth Vader. You know you are a bad ass when you have an instantly recognizable theme song. Play the first 3 notes and you know that shit is about to get real! Then that lightsaber humming and you know you're fucked!

All three nerd personas agreed on this movie.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

So here it was a bit more difficult as 2 out of the 3 personas started arguing that we already had Star Wars so we should be leaving the heroic journey genre. There would be better, more diverse films that we can put it and yet LOTR Nerd was not budging.

This was what inspired the likes of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and even those Percy Jackson books. LOTR was the basis for a lot of world-building and character developments that we see today.

Besides you had Humans, Elves, Hobbits, Dwarves, Wizards, Ents, Orcs, Goblins and other creatures that compromised the characters.

And those epic wars on a grand scale, that siege of Helms deep where our heroes faced waves after waves of the Uruk hai and the many infantry, siege, and tactics used. How about seeing that cavalry charge by the Riders of Rohan and when you shed a tear in Faramir's last-ditch assault against the Orcs besieging Minas Tirith. Then with all hope lost you had Gandalf rallying everyone and kicking ass.

Admit it you wanted Legolas glow and locks and looking good while killing hordes of enemies. I know at time we wanted to punch Frodo in the face and always rejoiced that Sam was there. We all know that Sam was the true MVP hahahha.

LOTR even if is so long I would not hesitate to binge watch. No matter how long it is or how many times you watched it, it still brings you to epic highs and lows, it still makes you root for the heroes.

Spirited Away

I nearly had a riot here as Subnerds from the Anime genre emerged and wanted to lynch the Anime geek who suggested this. Anime geek had to use his Naruto Shadow clone jutsu to fight off the hordes and then turn Super Saiyan when the Geek Troll emerged and had a menacing club in his hand.

Oh the carnage, so many geek blood spilled because Spirited Away was suggested. After all the smoke cleared, Anime geek stood triumphantly and placed Spirited Away in the pedestal.

I love Studio Ghibli Anime movies. They are by far still one of the most creative studios that have made classics like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki's Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, Nausicaa and let us not forget Grave of the Fireflies that put me in the ringer and had me blubbering like a 5-year-old.

Out of all those classics Anime Geek chosed Spirited Away because of the beauty, the story and the lessons learned. One of the favorite concepts that I have there is names having power and sometimes we give power over us to people who not necessarily have the best intentions for us.

It was full of different nuances, interesting characters, tidbits on spirituality, and trivia on Japanese culture.

It was a masterpiece that has stayed relevant and inspiring even today. If you haven't watched it or any of the Studio Ghibli movies then I highly suggest you do!

So that is my top three all-time favorite movies, some personas were hurt, some left bloody and unconscious but I think end of the day we all enjoyed watching these movies.

How did you like mine? Did we have any movies in common? What are your top 3?
