Favorite movie in each genre


Chops

Recommended Posts

I'd thought it would be fun for everyone to list their favorite movies for each genre, not neccesarily which movies you think are best, but the movies you could watch anyday and be enjoyed.

Western: The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean

Drama: The Shawshank Redemption

Horror: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Comedy: The Big Lebowski

Military: Full Metal Jacket

Feel free to add more genres to the list, these were just the ones I could decide on right now.

There are so many movies out there, so this definitely isn't a complete list of my favorites, but these are the movies in the forefront of my mind that I could watch a countless amount of times and either see something different, or just enjoy it immensely. There's also a few category additions I hope everyone will add on to. I sorta just had to find somewhere to put Escaflowne and at least ONE or two Miyazaki movies. =3

Drama (?) : Phone Booth

Phone Booth as a drama? It was more of a thriller than anything else.

So do you plan on listing your's, or just criticizing everyone's picks :ph34r:

I only criticized yours. :P

And I'll get to mine.

Actually, you criticized Pablo's, I was merely pointing it out, so haha. :P

That's it. You and your logic are the first ones on my "ignore" list. :devil:

I had to get you back for pointing out my misspelling of the word language in the Oratory's "Be Controversial" thread.

Action: Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker

Are you referring to the uncut version or the original release?

The uncut version where the parts like Tim shooting Joker and Joker shooting Bonk are still in the film. I could watch that movie 50 times in a row and never get tired of it.

I have to get that DVD. Before it was released, when only the edited version was available, I bought a very poor bootleg and, thus, didn't get to fully enjoy the movie.

Amazon.com has it for like 9 dollars. Or at least it was when I bought it from them a couple months ago.
