This is an excellent thread idea. Whenever anyone asks me "What's your favorite movie?" I have a hard time answering because I have different favorites for different genres. It's still tough to choose just one for each, but much easier than choosing just one all time favorite.

1) Science Fiction = Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)

2) Action = Lethal Weapon (Director's Cut)

3) Horror = Halloween (1978)

4) Super Hero = Superman (1978)

5) Comedy = Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein

6) Drama = Braveheart

7) Fantasy = Conan The Barbarian (1982)

8) Spy = Octopussy

9) Animation (CG) = Toy Story

10) Animation (Hand Drawn) = Ralph Bakshi's The Lord Of The Rings

11) Rom-Com = The Princess Bride

12) Crime Drama = The Godfather

 

[flickchick85]

I have a hard time picking a single "favorite" anything, because so much of it just depends on mood.

1. Science Fiction - Blade Runner (1982) / Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) / Children of Men (2006)

2. Action - Die Hard (1988)

3. Horror - Cabin in the Woods (2012) - yes, this is cheating, but I don't care. I hate the conventions of this genre, so straight horror movies don't do it for me.

4. Superhero - The Incredibles (2004) / The Dark Knight (2008) / The Avengers (2012)

5. Comedy - Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) / Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)

6. Drama - Schindler's List (1994) / Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

7. Fantasy - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) / Brazil (1985)

8. Spy - The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

9. Animation (CG) - The Incredibles (2004)
