Cheers from San Antonio Dave!

DRAMA – Vanilla Sky.

ACTION/ADVENTURE – Raiders of the Lost Ark/Jurassic Park

MILITARY – Saving Private Ryan

COMEDY – FIGHT CLUB. Claaassssic.

ROMANTIC – Last Tango in Paris/ Atonement

HORROR – The Shining.

SCIENCE FICTION – 2001 A Space Odysey

DRAMA – Pink Floyd's The Wall. The the pain of failure of trust in all that you should unconditionally trust leading to eventual madness when the breaking point has been hit. What a clasic tale that few ever catch the point.

ACTION/ADVENTURE – Raiders of the Lost Ark. Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones, can you get an any bigger than life character?

MILITARY – Guns of Navirone. While fiction, the one step forward two steps back made for an engaging story.

COMEDY – (a very tough choice--tied) The collective works of Kevin Smith's films in the View Askew Universe for the sophomoric humor and compounding in-jokes such as 37. The Drunken Master. Jackie Chan's big film which lanched a whole genre known as Jackie Chan movies. The character of Wong Fei Hong had always been treated with upmost respect until this film and was gamble that paid off well as the result could have been total outrage and ended his career then and there.

ROMANTIC – Chasing Amy. While technically a comedy, so much of the story hits home that it is one of the few movies that make me cry. The arguement in front of the hockey rink when she screams "They didn't use me, I used them." is a complete dagger plunge to the heart because every guy that ever sowed wild oats knows in their heart they did the same thing that she did but can't fathom a girl doing the same due to blind jealousy and feelings of comparitive inadequacy.

HORROR – Hallowen (the original) Between the theme music and the subtile background action still makes for good suspense.

SCIENCE FICTION – Back to the Future (The whole trillogy) Whismical but fairly well written until the rehashings of the same scenes and gags.

HONORABLE MENTIONS
A Clockwork Orange. A great film to gage a person watching it for the first time. Parts are really disturbing and parts are really funny. If they are laughing at the wrong parts you might need to find another friend.

Dr. Strangelove. A great farce. And with Kubrick having directed both James Earl Jones (debut film) and David Prowse long before Lucas we know who honestly is the master.

The Great Dictator. Charlie Chaplin does a talkie and it is a far cry from his typical films. Classic.

Kill Bill. How nice to see Uma Thurman back in a Tarnitino film. A good story with plenty of things to keep it from being a family film. While the story is presented somewhat out of order like Pulp Fiction it lacked tight weave of related unrelated stories that made Pulp Fiction great but Kill Bill was a better story over all.

The Empire Strikes Back. Clearly the best of the six and what list couldn't have Star Wars mentioned somewhere. It would as incomplete as an 80's pop album collection without Purple Rain and Thriller among the titles.
