The Friday Question - Top Genre Films
We had an interesting debate yesterday over the AFI’s new (or old, as some might say) list of their Top 10 films in 10 classic genres.
There was a lot of groaning over the choices made by the AFI members, who seems to value the old and classic versus the new and perhaps just as good.
So instead of complaining about their lists, I thought we could just choose our own winners in each genre. Or maybe just pick a few films that we’d put at the top of a few of these genres, which are:
SciFi, Westerns, Animation, Romantic Comedies, Sports, Mystery, Fantasy, Gangster, Courtroom Drama and Epic.
That leads us to the official, BOLDED Friday Question:
Pick a few genres from the above list and name the movie you’d put at the top of each.
I’m not going to go crazy, but here is a few I’d go with:
SciFi - Yes, I’d stick with AFI’s choice of 2001: A Space Odyssey. I can’t help it, I still think it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve ever seen.
Fantasy - I’d move Lord of the Rings to the top, although I agree a bit with the Wizard of Oz being number one. It’s just that Peter Jackson’s film was so brilliant and wonderful, I just have to go with it here.
Epic - This category is weird, because Titanic is in it, but is that really an “epic” movie? Either way, I think Band of Brothers deserves to AT LEAST be in this category and it COULD be up there at #1. I know it’s not really “a movie” but that’s only because it was too long to be in theaters. *grin*
So what about you guys? I’m highly curious what films you’d rank #1 in these various genres.
