I love lists! Or love to disagree with them.
I'll follow duchess's lead:
my statsanimation: 3/10
romantic comedy: 2/10
western: 2/10
sports: 2/10
mystery: 2/10
fantasy: 2/10
science fiction: 7/10
gangster: 1/10
courtroom drama: 1/10
epic: 5/10
commentsanimation - would you believe I've never seen any of Disney's animated classics in their entirety? They're just not that important to me. However, I enjoyed Toy Story 1 and 2, and Shrek (though I haven't seen the sequels).
romantic comedy - I don't go out of my way to see romantic comedies, but I do cherish Chaplin's City Lights. I also really like Woody Allen's comedies, it's just that I've not seen Annie Hall.
western - what caught my eye on the list was Cat Ballou. I had never heard of this movie! I bet this is a very controversial pick by the AFI.
Oh, and I would put in a vote for Dances With Wolves, too.
sports - uh...what is Caddyshack doing here? I think it's funny, but is it really a sports movie? Also surprised to see Jerry Maguire on the list, even though I have not seen the movie.
fantasy - The Wizard of Oz isn't my cup of tea, so for me, Fellowship of the Ring is #1 all the way!
sci fi - I can't complain about most of the choices, but I'd slip in The Matrix somewhere, although it might be considered more fantasy than sci fi, or more action...and yeah, I echo the sentiment: NO ACTION CATEGORY???
epic - I think Dr. Zhivago should be on the list, too. Gladiator also deserves a spot. I think it stands with the best of them.
NO HORROR FILMS?? NO WAR FILMS??
