I was going to, but wasn't tired enough after doing Action, Comedy, Drama, Horror and Scifi!
Dunning1874
Action - Fight Club
Adventure - Batman Begins
Animation - South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut
Biography - The Motorcycle Diaries
Comedy - Duck Soup
Crime - L.A. Confidential
Drama - One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Fantasy - Pan's Labryinth
Horror - The Ring (Original Japanese Version of course, none of that US shite)
Musical - Little Shop of Horrors
Mystery - Donnie Darko
Romance - When Harry Met Sally
Sci Fi - Aliens
Sport - The Big Game
Thriller - The Wicker Man (Original obviously, fucking die Cage)
War - Paths of Glory
Western - Blazing Saddles

I feel dirty leaving out The Shawshank Redemption but One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest just edges it, likewise with The Wicker Man just ahead of The Shining. Apologies to Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the animation. I've cheated slightly as Blazing Saddles and The Big Game are comedies above all else but they count. The Big Game's only there because I've never watched a sport film and thought it wasn't shit.

Also left out The Big Lebowski, despite being pretty much on a par with Duck Soup in the stakes for my favourite film of all time. Couldn't squeeze into a genre aside from comedy; it would really be miscellaneous, which isn't a genre.

Musical - On The Town
Mystery - Chinatown
Romance - The Graduate
Sci Fi - 2001 A Space Odyssey
Sport - Seabiscuit
Thiller - Bad Day at Black Rock
War - The Longest Day

That was tough, particularly trying to work out whether a film is an action pic, an adventure pic, or a bloody thriller. As far as I am concerned the answers to those three are interchangeable.

Going by the IMDb categories you could have fielded it under Comedy or Crime.

I went by IMDb for all the films I've actually picked, but I just laughed when they suggested The Big Lebowski was in the crime category. I put a lot of time into that list and I'm not having it devalued by IMDb being cack wizards and having a film in a genre that it clearly isn't. wink.gif

If you had chosen Aladdin under the musical category, then you could have chosen another animated film.

Didn't realise Disney films would be down as musicals. Fair enough musical - Aladdin Animated - Team America. Was tempted to pick Akira but after the 1st hour or so it got pretty shit, and 2 Disney would be a bit much.
