[Essentials] Movies by Genre

[Fel]

There's no Lord of the Rings (trilogy) in the fantasy section?

I must recommend it then.

Pirates of the Caribbean - adventure (whole series)
Van Helsing - adventure/fantasy
X-Men - fantasy/adventure
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - comedy
The Lion King (trilogy)- animation
Shrek series - animation
Quest for Camelot - animation
Harry Potter (series) - fantasy/adventure
Star Wars (series) - sci-fi/adventure

Oh wait, I see! The list hasn't been updated yet, but LotR had been recommended by McGuild as well.

), Little Miss Sunshine
Drama, Romance: Ghost
Action: Wanted

[Shinigami357]

Ayt, just gonna make this fast...

The Silence of the Lambs - [horror]
Se7en - [horror]
The Shawshank Redemption - [drama]
Saving Pvt. Ryan - [drama]
HP (series) - [fantasy]
Kickass - [action/comedy] (hope they make the sequel soon)
Jurassic Park - [sci-fi] (I'm only at ease with the original, but count it as a series if you want)
Gladiator - [action/drama]


can't think of anything else at the moment...


PS
Funny that people vote for Silence of the Lambs, but you see no love for Hannibal or Red Dragon, lawlz.

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain [comedy, romance]
Of Gods and Men [drama]
Fantastic Mr. Fox [animation, comedy]
Whatever Works [comedy (maybe romance too)]
Little Miss Sunshine [comedy, drama]
Lord of War [thriller (but it's not really a suspense flick, so maybe drama too)]
Let the Right One in / Låt den rätte komma in [thriller, drama] (don't watch the hollywood remake - go for the original instead)

Damn, I didn't knew I watch so much dramas. But most of them are pretty light-hearted.
For thrillers I could also mention Silence of the Lambs but it already gets enough praise (which it deserves). To answer Shinigami: I think the follow-ups aren't as good as the original.

 

[KingdomBlade]

Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain [comedy, romance]

It's awesome to find someone else who watched that.

Anyways, updating tomorrow. It's sorta late here at the moment.

Looks like no one really followed the whole 10 per person rule.

Please follow the rule. It'll be virtually unmanageable without a limit. 50 movies a person will be extremely difficult.

Yes, I'm looking at you Tonitonichopchop.
