Drama:

Comedy: Snatch (you like dags?)

Action: Last Action Hero!!  I kid.  :lol:  Ill give this one to The Rock (Nicolas Cage and Sean Connery are the roxxors.)

Suspense: Fight Club (I dont know if this would classify under this but its a damn good movie.)

Sci-Fi: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back

War: Stalingrad

Anime: Akira (made in the late 80’s, it was the best damn looking anime in its time.)

My lists of good movies change with time and mood here’s what I’ve got tonight:

Drama: Easy Rider (I love the ending)
Comedy: Shawn of the Dead
Action: Any of the Indiana Jones movies.  (Good action always has Nazis)
Sci-Fi: Starship Troopers (All I gota say is: Bugs, Boobs and Nuclear RPGs…)
Horror: The Hills Have Eyes Original (I saw it in the Drive in and had nitemares for years.)
War: Saving Private Ryan (still the most realistic I think)
Cartoon: Heavy Metal (Them cartoon chicks are hot!)

Welcome back DF!

As for Heavy Metal…  yep, HUGE flower shaped mamalian protruberances with flower shaped nipples.  Guess it falls under the category of “American Anime” :-)

In the same line of thinking…
Best Porn Plot:  Cafe Flesh

Best Porn Special Effects:  Juranal Park (gotta love the guy holding the one color plastic dinosaurs and moving htem back and forth in front of the camera going “ggrrr, grrr” as the “footage” of the dinosaurs rampaging through the island!)

And some of the other categories we missed earlier that folks might want to add…

Best Musical  (My Fair Lady is at or near the top of that cat for me)
Best Western (not the hotel chain :-P )

And some sub-categories could have their own rating too…

Best Zombie Movie:  Resident Evil is my personal fave in that line
Best Star Trek Movie:  Wrath of Khan
Best Star Wars Movie:  Original
Best Classic Sci-Fi:  Forbidden Planet
Best Monster Movie:  Godzilla (the original)

@saburo:

Best Comedy:  Spaceballs

That movie is funny as hell!  :lol:

HELMET: Who made that man a gunner?
MAJOR: I did, sir. He’s my cousin.

HELMET: Who is he?

SANDURZ: He’s an Asshole, sir.

HELMET: I know that. What’s his name?

SANDURZ: That is his name, sir. Asshole, Major Asshole.

HELMET: And his cousin?

SANDURZ: He’s an Asshole, too, sir. Gunner’s-mate, 1st Class, Philip Asshole.

HELMET: How many Assholes we got on this ship, anyhow?

ALL: Yo!

HELMET: I knew it. I’m surrounded by Assholes. Keep firing, Assholes.
