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.
