Movie Catagories
Neppie inspired me to list a few “best” movies to supplement my list below.
Best Drama: Citizen Kane–Kane is so complex. You love, hate, pity, and want to be him all at the same time.
Best Comedy: Ghostbusters–It has my favorite line, “Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!”
Best Movie I Should Have Never Seen: Mr. Smith Goes To Washington–I was waiting months to rent this and had my hopes up. It was ok, but too hokey. Maybe I just don’t appreciate Jimmy Stewart as much as I should.
Best Sci-Fi Movie: Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back–This has all the action, laser blasts, flying, and explosions a kid (or kid at heart) could want.
Best Non-Sci-Fi Action Movie: Die Hard–John McClane didn’t really stand a chance against a bunch of terrorists-turned-thiefs, but he killed them all off and looked good doing it. Just fast forward the scene where he’s pulling the glass pieces out of his feet. Ick!
Best Western: Unforgiven–I don’t like the genre, but this movie kind of stands out. I know it’s not much of a defense.
Best Sports Movie: Bull Durham–Funny, sexy and passionate about baseball.
Best Really Long Movie (3+ hours): Giant–The canvas director George Stevens paints on is huge cinamatically and temporally. The story intertwines economics, racism, and love. James Dean also steals the show.
I have to call it a night, but I want more catagories. Offer one up (give me some strange ones), and I’ll see if I can come up with a movie.
Here’s a couple candidate categories:
Best Historical Fiction
Best Spaghetti Western
Need more morning pick-me-up to figure out more categories…
