Animated: No surprise 9 out of 10 of them are Disney movies. Romantic Comedy: I don't own ONE of these on DVD . . . though I've been meaning to get When Harry Met Sally. And what was so funny about Sleepless in Seattle? Western: Unforgiven and The Wild Bunch should've been higher. And I like Cat Ballou as much as the next guy (Lee Marvin kicks ass) . . . but it beat out Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Outlaw Josey Wales and any of John Ford's cavalry trilogy? Sports: Probably the one I agree the most with. Glad Bull Durham made it on there. Mystery: It's really no surprise that Hitchcock is ALL OVER this list. Fantasy: The Wizard of Oz beating out LOTR? I don't think so. And Groundhog Day should be in Romantic Comedy - but glad to see it recognized nonetheless. Field of Dreams is a sports movie damnit. Sci-fi: I like it. Though Back to the Future should be higher and the The Matrix should be included. Gangster: Predictable. Courtroom Drama: Again . . . predictable. Epic: They just HAD to include Titanic, didn't they? At least it wasn't #1. -They should've had a "war" category. |
