None too good to note?

I'm honestly really unfamiliar with the genre. I suppose if Breakfast at Tiffanys is considered romance, then I'd cast my vote for it.

[_____V_____]

Western - Don't really watch any.

That is a cardinal sin, my young whipper-snapper. :eek:

Grab ahold of a bunch of Eastwood/Leone sphagettis, and pop that western-movie cherry asap.

[hacelikewhoa]

I don't think I've ever watched a real western movie.

Western just isn't a genre that interests me. I might try and watch a few eastwood films if they come on Tele.

Good shit right there. I can watch those two all the time and never get sick of them.

[alkytrio666]

About a year ago I saw Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon. This may be the closest thing to cinematic perfection I have ever seen. I've probably seen it five times since then, and I can't find a flaw in it! 10/10 indeed.

One-of-a-kind classic, for sure. One of the most incredible films cinematography-wise, too. It was all shot using natural light and candlelight, plus they used a couple of super-fast lenses used by NASA, with infinite depth of field. Kubrick was an amazing lunatic.

It's truly a movie that could only have been done by Kubrick. It has had a profound influence and effect on me this year.

[ChronoGrl]

Wow. This is tough... My answers will most likely change in a couple of hours... ha...

Oddly enough I find myself agreeing with FC... A lot.

* Action - Pulp Fiction
* Horror - Halloween (1978)
* Sci-Fi - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
* Western - I need to watch more westerns...
* War - Don't care for "War" movies, but I guess Apocalypse Now counts...
* Adventure - Raiders of the Lost Arc
* Drama - American Beauty
* Comedy - Monty Python and the Holy Grail
* Romance - Next Stop Wonderland
* Musical - The Rocky Horror Picture Show
* Documentary - King of Kong

That's awesome. What are you doing this year? Film school?

[Elvis_Christ]

Yeah First Blood is awesome. Did you see Rambo? The last one? It's pretty gory, damn near like a horror movie.

Yeh I dug it a lot. Its the best of the series after First Blood IMO.

[neverending]

I'm glad to see some fans of Barry Lyndon. It got mixed reviews on release. I saw it in a cinerama theater and it was as breathtaking as 2001. Patrick Magee is mesmerizing and the score by The Chieftans is spectacular.

[Elvis_Christ]

I don't get people calling Pulp Fiction an action flick? I'd put it in the crime/drama category.

[Doc Faustus]

I'd have to agree with you on that one. I'd say Crime/Noir/Neonoir should be a category.

[alkytrio666]

That's awesome. What are you doing this year? Film school?
I am. I've made a few films, and I'll get you some links to them ASAP.

Agreed. I was just following the crowd. I admit it. :o

I am. I've made a few films, and I'll get you some links to them ASAP.

Oooo! Me too! Me too please!

[fortunato]

I am. I've made a few films, and I'll get you some links to them ASAP.
