My Favorite Movies

I guess since I am totally obsessed with film, my first blog should be about my favorite movies. These are all by category. I believe that Godfather is the best crime, and drama, but there is only 1 category per flick.

Overall – Godfather
Documentary – New York Doll, honorable mention King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
Romance – Gone With the Wind
Romantic Comedy – Annie Hall
Comedy – Raising Arizona, honorable mention Forrest Gump
Dark Comedy – The Big Lebowski, honorable mention Rushmore
"Stupid" Comedy - Superbad
Sports – Raging Bull, honorable mention Rocky
Sports Comedy – Major League
Drama – Shawshank Redemption
Thriller – Taxi Driver
Adventure – The Great Escape
Action – Gladiator
“Pure” Action – Die Hard
Biography – Walk the Line, honorable mention Cinderella Man
Foreign – Cidade de Deus, honorable mention Life is beautiful
Crime – The Departed, honorable mention Goodfellas
Fantasy – The Wizard of Oz
Horror – Alien (pretty dumb by today's standards)
Indy – Apocalypse Now
Musical – The Blues Brothers, honorable mention The Pick of Destiny
Mystery – The Sixth Sense
SciFi – The Empire Strikes Back, honorable mention Donnie Darko
Western – Lonesome Dove, honorable mention Tombstone
War – The Deer Hunter

I imagine people might say, "What!? Is he crazy? Casablanca is the greatest romance of all time." Just keep in mind, this is my opinion and I haven't seen every movie...yet.
