[jimharri]

Bored, so figured I'd get some opinions on this. Here's mine:

Drama - 12 Angry Men (original)

Horror - The Thing

SciFi - 2001 a space odyssey

Comedy - Withnail and I

Thriller - LA Confidential

Drama - Godfather Pt 2 (was tempted to go with Shawshank, mind).

Horror - Not a big horror devotee, so I don't watch that many of them. Too much of a wuss, I suppose? I'll go for the original Halloween

Sci-fi - Close Encounters (love that film)

Comedy - Trading Places. For all sorts of reasons!

War - Where Eagles Dare

Drama - Margin Call. A great character study, set in a Stockbroker's company during a financial crash. Great cast. Irons, Bettany, Tucci, Spacey. Even Demi Moore puts in a half decent performance.
