I consider myself to be somewhat of a movie buff. I am a big horror movie junky, but I watch a ton of movies from most genres. I'd like to know what everyone's top 3 movies from the following genres are. Here are mine:
Horror: Jaws, The Shining, Halloween
Comedy: Animal House, Ghostbusters, There's Something About Mary
Action: Die Hard, Kill Bill, The Warriors
Triller/ Suspense: The Game, The Usual Suspects, Fight Club
Foreign: Life Is Beautiful, Battle Royale, Pan's Labrynth
Teen: Breakfast Club, The Outsiders, Better Off Dead (really a comedy, but..)
Drama: The Music Within, Goodfellas, Crash
War: Platoon, Black Hawk Down, Full Metal Jacket
So...what are yours? Any other genres you want to include?

OMG!! I'm so glad you have Battle Royale on your list. I LOVE that movie!
ReplyDeleteTeen: Empire Records, Pretty In Pink, Get Over It
Classics: The Seven-Year-Itch, The Philadelphia Story, Some Like It Hot
Musicals: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Singin' In The Rain, Guys and Dolls
Comedy: Role Models, Anchorman, The Hangover
I dunno, it's hard for me to pick a top 3, haha!
awesome assignment, haha. here we go:
ReplyDeleteHorror: Saw, Saw 4, Saw 2
Comedy: Anchorman, Step Brothers, Old School
Action: Wanted, 300, Transformers
*Here is where my categories get a little hazy
Thriller/Suspense: Fight Club (favorite of all time), Man on Fire, The Dark Knight
Drama: Crash, Sleepers, Blow
Lila- Battle Royale is definitely one of my favorite movies ever. I LOVE Chiaki Kuriyama!! I actually have an autograph from her when she played GoGo in Kill Bill.
ReplyDeleteMr. O. - A funny thing about the Saw series. I took my wife to see Saw on our first date (because I'm romantic like that). and they have pretty much put out a new one every year around our anniversary :) Saw 2 was definitely my favorite.
GAH! SO tricky for a seriously non-movie-buff person like me... But here goes:
ReplyDeleteHorror: Haven't really watched many 'horror' movies (at least, that I can remember... I think I probably blocked them out!) But I have seen Jaws. That can count for three, right?
Comedy: ANCHORMAN, A Fish Called Wanda, The Hangover
Action: Terminator 2, Transformers (does this count?), Indiana Jones (any of the first three)
Thriller/ Suspense: The Dark Knight, Fight Club, The Bourne movies (I count three in one!)
Foreign: Amélie, The Spanish Apartment (L'Auberge Espagnol), Tais Toi
I'm not so much into teen, drama or war movies, so I'm replacing them with:
Animated: Spirited Away, The Emperor's New Groove (Disney), The Nightmare Before Christmas... I could go on and on...
Arthouse/Independent-y Type Films Little Miss Sunshine (favourite movie ever!), Garden State, American Beauty
And I have no idea where it should go, but I LOVE Snatch! (Both the movie and the real thing... HA!)
Cool idea, Caped Tirader!
Horror: Dead Silence; Darkness; 1408
ReplyDeleteComedy: American Psycho 2; Hamlet 2000 (seriously, have you ever watched Ethan Hawke act? hysterical); 50 First Dates
Action: The Resident Evils
Thriller/Suspense: Red Eye, Flight Plan; Disturbia
Foreign: Pan's Labyrinth; The Orphanage; Rashomon
Teen: Breakfast Club; Weird Science; St. Elmo's Fire
Drama: Atonement; The Illusionist; The Prestige
Musicals: Hair; Hairspray; Crybaby (that totally counts!)
Sci-fi/Dystopian: Minority Report; Children of Men; 12 Monkeys
Also, I love Gosford Park which sits in some weird british-y subgenre of dry comedy.
Teacup Girl- nice list...the nightmare before Christmas is a great one!
ReplyDeleteAsh- I LOVE the orphanage...have it saved on my instant netflix queue
What about the "after School special" genre?
ReplyDeleteGood question Dr. Zibbs. I would say my top three are definitely:
ReplyDeleteThe Wave (this one is fantastic)
Pssst! Hammerman's After You (also fantastic)
and
Schoolboy Father (Rob Lowe and Dana Plato)
My top 3 movies of all time are:
ReplyDeleteDeath at a Funeral
Love Actually
