Sports: Not a big fan of sports movies, must admit... Action: Terminator 2, probably. Adventure: Too many to list. Return Of The King, Empire Strikes Back, Captain Blood, the list goes on and on. Horror: Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers On A Train". Though "The Sixth Sense" is up there for me too. Drama: Really hard to pick one, but Casablanca is my most watched, so I'll go with that. |

Ok, one per genre.....whats your favorite movie per.... Heh.. sorry, I can't narrow it down to one even in each genre... Sports- Remember the Titans, Varisty Blues Action- The Matrix (first movie only), The Terminator movies, the Jurassic Park movies, the Die Hard movies, and the Lethal Weapon movies, and I've really liked I, Robot lately too. I also have a real guilty pleasure for "The Rock" as well - actually, it used to be my single favorite movie for a long time. Adventure- Lord of the Rings (primarily the first movie, though I love the latter two too), Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones 3, Willow Horror- not my thing... unless you count Alien/Aliens and the Predator movies and Sleepy Hollow, I guess these would work. Drama- Oh boy. Off the top of my head... Devil's Advocate, Speed, A Few Good Men, The Shawshank Redemption, Dog Day Afternoon, Scarface, Scent of a Woman, Saving Private Ryan, Armadeggon, Forrest Gump, Lawrence of Arabia. How about comedy? Mine's Young Frankenstein. And my favorite comic-based movie is still Superman, surprisingly. |

This thread is unfair BJ, completely unfair. There is no way I can narrow it down to one movie in each category. I'm not sure whether my categories will match yours either. ;D Here's mine though. Sports - Remember the Titans (it had football in it so I am considering it a sports movie ) besides Phil said it was and I believe him. That's it. Action - Crouching Tiger, Matrix series (I loved all of them), Indiana Jones Last Crusade and more Adventure - Return of the King, Empire Strikes Back, (and now) Return of the Sith, and more Horror - Needful Things, Sometimes They Come Back, Rose Red, Braham Stoker's Dracula, The Omen, Children of the Corn and more Drama - Hunt for Red October, Robin Hood (Kevin Costner), Lady Hawk, Chocolat, Primal Fear, Titanic, Forest Gump, Deceived, Silence of the Lambs and more Comedy - While You Were Sleeping, Guarding Tess One Western - The Halleujah Trail Shan |

Sports-Don't watch many but I have to go with Mighty Ducks
Action- I'm really random when it comes to this. But there are a couple that always come to the top: Blade 2 and the original Matrix
Adventure- The ENTIRE Star Wars saga. Yes I'm even including the prequels here
Horror- Don't watch many but though not really a horror movie 28 Days Later has to be my favorite
Drama- A toughie but usually it comes up in a multiple way tie with Schindler's List and A Clockwork Orange
Comedy- tie between Caddyshack and Road Trip
Comic based- Ghost World. I love this movie to death and watch it whenever it's on the IFC.

Couple more categories: Comedy: Monty Python & The Holy Grail (brilliant except for about the last few minutes, which the rest make up for ) Comic-Based: Sin City, followed by the Crow. Those are the most faithful adaptations I've ever seen. Western: The Searchers by a long way. Although I'm also fond of Rio Bravo and The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. |

Sports- Major League or Neccesary Roughness Action- Under Siege or Speed Adventure- Indiana Jones Horror- don't watch horror, closest would be Shaun of the Dead. Drama- Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (I think it counts as a drama, but I'm not sure. I'm not much for pure dramas.) Comedy- Any Mel Brooks, but especially Robin Hood: Men in Tights Western- uh... don't watch many westerns. Comic Book- The Mask or the Superman movies Musical- Into the Woods Parody- The Pirate Movie (parodies Pirates of Penzance) 80's - Wargames or Weird Science - man, I love 80's movies. Hiding Out is another of my favs. |

Kinda surprised Braveheart hasn't been mentioned yet.
Oh, and I forgot to add Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in my action favorites too, thanks Shantara for reminding me. That would also count as my favorite foreign movie so far.
Favorite Western is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Braveheart, I don't like that movie at all. It makes me cry just thinking about it. It is one movie that I will never watch again.  Shan |

Sports- Shaolin Soccer (because american sports do not appeal to me)
Action- Equilibrium (at least 10 times better than Matrix trilogy)
Adventure- LOTR? *bad memory of adventure films*
Horror- Bubba Ho-Tep (which can also fall into Comedy or Drama, one of very few films that feature old foggies as heroes)
Drama- Children of Heaven (Iranian film about a boy who wants to race to win 2nd second place because the 2nd price is a pair of shoes, which will be to replace his sister's lost shoes, beautiful film)
Comedy- Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail (alternative will be Something Completely Different)
Western- Seven Samurai (what? ok, it's Unforgiven)
Comic Book- The Shadow
Musical- (i'll pass)
Parody- an episode of SouthPark parodying Akira & Stanley Kubrick's SO2000.
80's - (can't recall any)
