Best movies ever?
-
So, what would you consider the best movies of each of the main genres (feel free to make up new genres if the ones I use below don’t encompass enough :P)? For me, I’ll say…
Drama: Donnie Darko
Comedy: The Princess Bride (in a close second would be Clue The Movie)
Action: The Matrix
Suspense: The Sixth Sense
Horror: The Ring
War: Patton (I’ll admit, I’ve hardly seen any war movies, but I think we can all agree this was a great one :D)
-
OK, my turn…
Drama: Taps
Comedy: Airplane! (and Monty Python ich den holy grailen)
Action: Aliens (#2)
Suspense: Alien (the original)
Horror: Nightmare on Elm Street (the original… gave me nightmares. Amityville Horror would be a clsoe seconde because it game me MANY nightmares, but that had a lot to do with having seen in in the theater when I was 7 or 8).
War: Patton, Bridge on the River Kwai (toss-up)
-
By far (nothing else is even in the same ballpark) the best movie ever is “Once upon a time in the west”……I give an honorable mention to “The Godfather”, and “Scarface”
-
“Ferris Buellers Day Off” is the best movie ever. You know why? Cause im Abe Froman, The Sausage King of Chicago, bitch! :-D
-
Drama: A Few Good Men
Comedy: Major League
Action: The Hunt for Red October (if it counts)
Suspense: Memento
Sci-Fi: Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Horror: Saw I
War: The Thin Red Line -
I had not picked a sci-fi film,but have to agree with Yanny on that one. Wrath of Khan is an AWESOME flick. And Khan SHOULD have gotten the “Best Supporting Actor” Oscar that year…
-
Damn, I forgot Memento; that was an awesome movie, I think it’ll have to tie with The Sixth Sense for my favorite suspense.
-
Drama: Inn of the sixth happiness, Rounders, Ran
Comedy: Friday after next, Dont be a menace ( while drinking your juice in the hood), the great dictator

Drama: Donnie Darko
I wouldnt call Donnie Darko a drama. It is however a good movie, but I think I would classify that movie under Sci-Fi.

You know, I just realized that we are being a bit sexist in our movie choices…
Best Chick Flick: Pretty Woman
Best tear-jerker: Ghost
Best Lifetime Movie: They are all the same.
:mrgreen:

Yea Pretty Woman is a good choice but for tear-jerker Id have to say “A Walk to Remember.” That was a very sad movie at the end. :cry:
Actually for Chick Flick Id have to pick “When the boys are away, the girls will play.” That movie is a really great Chick Flick……I kid I kid. :lol:

Don’t forget about “cool hand luke”!! Can you tell that I’m an old fart?
