    Hi everybody
    Since Troy seems to be getting a few pants reviews I though it's time we found out what every ones favourite films at the org are.
    The categories are:

    Action/Adventure
    Comedy
    Historical
    Sci Fi/Fantasy
    Drama/Misc /(Not sure what its comes under)

    If I get enough replies I'll compile a top 10 list
    Just one in each category please

    My all-time favourites are

    Lock, Stock and two smoking Barrels
    Snatch
    (both by Guy Ritchie). Very funny movies.

    I liked Elisabeth a lot in the historical movies genre. Cate Blanchett really excels as the virgin queen.

    No offence but some of you have really bad choice in films.

    Terminator 3 my god just god how can you degrade yourselfs by even contemplating watching it.

    And I'm not even going to utter about the nutty p. although most people do have some taste in films. All sergio leone films are gods gift as are all the Tarantino films.

    If you object to what I say please tell me. And ceaser please don't hate me for mocking some of choices of films you're welcome to your views.

    Also just watch enemy at the gates it is a great film.

    I didn't think terminator 3 was that bad. Ok it isn't as good as 1 or 2 but i wasn't expecting it to be and there is some really stupid moments that shouldn't of been included ie. the glasses he has when he leaves the bar.

    I agree. Some of them surelly haven't seen quality movies. Only mainstream...

    Here is my list:

    Drama: Anything by Ingmar Bergman. I prefer the 7th Seal. I'm also partial to Chen Kaige's Farewell, My Concubine, Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express, Fallen Angels and In The Mood For Love, Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark.

    Historical: Anything by Akira Kurosawa. I'm partial to Ran, The Throne of Blood and Kagemusha.

    Action: Francis Ford Coppola Apocalypse Now. Seven by David Fincher.

    Comedy: Anything by Monthy Python's.

    Sci Fi: Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odissey. Blade Runner and Alien by Ridley Scott.

    Fantasy: Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula.

    Drama: Michael Cimino's The Deer Hunter. Heat by Michael Mann.

    Misc: Anything by Tarantino except Kill Bill.

    There are so many more I would like to mention, but these are just the ones I remember from the top of my head...
