A cache of good movies

Thanks for this TT must go to Michelle. I'm pinching her idea from a few weeks ago. Yes, it takes me that long to get organised. Remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ;) 1. Best romantic comedy: this is the hardest one for me because it's one of my least favourite genres. Most of them are snoresville. Look, I'm going to have to go with the BBC's production of Pride and Prejudice with Colin Firth. Anyone who's seen will know exactly what I'm talking about. I have only two words for you: Wet. Shirt. 2. Hardest cry: Braveheart I think, only because it also classifies as 'Weirdest Cry' also. I saw the movie with friends. I got to the end and I was stunned. I think my un-cried tears just got bottle necked. My mother picked me up after and asked me how the movie was. And I just started to bawl. And I bawled for about the next two hours, my tears becoming steadily worse!! But boy I felt better afterwards. It's still my favourite movie. Dead Man Walking is a close second. 3. Best "heist" movie: The Great Muppet Caper. Diamonds. Big Hair. Bike Riding through a park. Charles Grodin trying to resist the seductions of Miss Piggy. Priceless. (I am being a little tongue in cheek here) 4. Best action movie: I still enjoy Speed. For the best action sequence, however, I still thoroughly enjoy the chariot race in 'Ben Hur'. I just saw Casino Royale though. Hot Damn! let me say that again; Hot Damn! 5. Most inspirational movie: Toughie. Real toughie. For me, perhaps Good Will Hunting. Or Dead Poets Society. Strange they both have Robin Williams. 6. Best mystery: Goodness.... The Usual Suspects? I watched it knowing nothing about it, so of course was sucked in by the ending. Now, though, it's ruined, so does it classify? I'm a Hitchcock fan though, so most of his movies too (excepting possibly The Birds. I didn't get it....) 7. Funniest movie: A Fish Called Wanda and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I still giggle in Meet the Parents. I'm also in the loves Zoolander camp; as opposed to a Zoolander-hater. 8. Best animated movie: That's hard. Probably Finding Nemo. 9. Scariest movie: I don't like scary movies, so I can think of a whole bunch: the Nightmare on Elm Sts, Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre etcetc. 10. Best romance: I'm going to be a bit different here, but I think The Crying Game. I like unconventional storytelling and that's about as unconventional, and moving, as it gets. 11. Best fantasy: It might be a generational thing, but I like The Princess Bride. Willow stands out ("Move along, Pec!") but hands down, best one is The Empire Strikes Back. Shouldn't that be in sci-fi? No, I've reserved that one for another..... 12. Best musical: Rocky Horror Picture Show. But then, I'm strange. Hang on, no I'm not. I refuse to defend my love of this movie for any longer!!! 13. Best sci-fi: Bladerunner. Odd choice for a movie I've only ever seen once, but it just spoke to me. 14. Best classic (pre-1980): Tie between Citizen Kane and Gone with the Wind.
