Organizing a Marathon... Again.
Okay, okay... another marathon thread where I'm asking for title suggestions. I decided to create a new thread rather then use the older one for a reason, I'm going for something different here - or at least I think.
I have a total of 6 slots within this marathon, so I am looking for a maximum of six films. The theme this time is "Genre." By that, I mean, each film will represent a specific genre. No two films can be rooted in the exact same genre. I am looking for a wide scope here, a variety. I have some ideas on what to include per each genre, but I am having troubles narrowing it down. I am hoping you, having seen these films (if you have), could guide me in the right direction. :) Instead of listing the titles I pulled from 'top ten' lists, I'll let you pick your favourites from the genres I listed below. Remember, I am limited to rental selection - so try not to list rare and obscure titles! COMEDY ACTION / SCI-FI DRAMA MYSTERY / THRILLER HORROR FOREIGN
