Anyway film buffs - give me the top 3 films in the following Genres! Comedy Drama Action Sci-Fi Horror Western Musical Foreign Language Christmas Movie () Documentary (added for @bickster) I appreciate limiting it to 3 films might be difficult for some As for my choices, as Arnie said ‘I’ll be back’ Comedy Naked Gun, Four Lions, In The Loop Drama Parasite, Casablanca, Atonement Action Beverly Hills Cop, Apocalypto, Die Hard Sci-Fi Aliens, Blade Runner, probably one of the Terminator films Horror nothing is good in this genre, this is a genre for sick people, but ok Silence of the Lambs, Seven, The Shining if they all count Western Three Amigos, True Grit (the remake)... does No Country for Old Men count as a Western? Musical Moulin Rouge, South Park: The Movie, A Star Is Born Foreign Language Pan's Labyrinth, Volver, City of God Christmas Movie () Die Hard Documentary (added for @bickster) Free Solo, Senna, Maradona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Best docs - 13th, act of killing, bowling for columbine That last one is almost painful to put in there because he's such a clearing in the woods Edit - the Donald trump speech scene in 13th is one of the most powerful scenes Ive ever seen in film, its brilliantly done and I found it genuinely horrible to watch Edited April 4, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been described as a “neo-Western”. Set in the West and has various themes (gun slinging, masculinity, revenge, cowboy hats, stupid accents, farms, Mexicans, dusty ground, death, crime, rocky outcrops, the seedy underbelly of the American frontier, men who stare at you in a terrifying way) that call back to the classic Westerns. Yes that’s pretentious bollocks, but how else was I going to squeeze 3 films into a genre that I never watch… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not if your going by the strict genre tropes/definitions, but it did get tags like Neo-Western thrown at it. So I'm having it, because they aren't 3 traditional Westerns that I actually like all that much. Also if you wanted to be restrictive with the genre definitions, none of the lists would start making sense because all the best films subvert and straddle lines. The Exorcist is horrifying, but it isn't purely a horror film. Team America could just as easily be filed under Musicals. Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence obviously isn't a Christmas film, despite the amusing assertions of HMV's shelving. Then you get into foreign language as a genre, well that could be absolutely anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KentVillan Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 “foreign language” as a film genre is a weird one… not sure a Japanese martial arts film has much in common with a Spanish romantic comedy Nowadays with streaming services it’s much easier to watch loads of foreign language films and it’s less of a niche middle class culture culture hobby… maybe better to just include them in the main categories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
