Drama: Twelve Angry Men Comedy: Monty Python and The Holy Grail (though Raising Arizona is my favorite Coen comedy) Best Musical: I don’t know, La La Land maybe? I don’t watch a lot of musicals. Creature Feature: The Thing. There can be only one. Best Period Piece: There Will Be Blood, though Amadeus is a great pick too. One of the perfect films ever made. Whodunit: Se7en, though I also like Clue and Chinatown a lot too. Western: Once Upon a Time in The West Sports Flick: Warrior Best SF: either A Clockwork Orange or 2001. It’s an impossible gambit. Best Fantasy: The Seventh Seal Best Superhero: The Dark Knight, there can be only one. Best Rom Com: Shaun of The Dead maybe, again I don’t watch a lot of rom coms lol. Great video as always!

Best drama is tough. 12 Angry is really good. My favorite comedy- either Holy Grail or Rat Race. Musical- either Sound of music or Chicago. Creature feature for me has to be Aliens. But the Fly is really good too. Oh and Jaws. Ugh. Tough category. Amadeus is amazing, it’s probably the movie that made period pieces one of my favorites. Schindler’s List is amazing also. Cinematically I think Schindler’s List would have to win for me. My favorite western is old school How the West Was Won. Both True Grit movies are awesome. Sports movie is SO hard. I love all the Rocky movies, but I almost like Creed movies better. We are Marshal is amazing, Secretariet I love also but it’s not in the same league. My favorite movie type is sweeping historical epics however and my favorite movie is Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day Lewis. It’s the perfect combination of action, romance, amazing musical score, and stunning cinematography. Sci fi is really rough to pick- 2001 is amazing, but it’s so different from movies like Aliens or the amazing Close Encounters of a Third Time. Mad Max movies are great. All the LoTR movies and amazing, my nostalgia fantasy pick would be The Neverending Story. Superhero would have to be Superman v Batman- it’s so frustrating and has so much tension. Rom-com of course When Harry met Sally.

Speaking of personal favourites, there are two constants I have always had on my top 5: The Historical War Drama «Master & Commander» from 2003 by Peter Weir and the Musical Comedy «Blues Brothers» from 1980 by John Landis. I always have a though choice choosing my favorite David Lean movie between «Lawrence of Arabia» and «Dr. Zhivago», right now I will go for «Dr. Zhivago» (Julie Christie as Lara might be the most beautiful person that have ever existed!). Ingmar Bergman’s «The Seventh Seal» from 1957: It is downright fascinating how one of the most iconic, reflected and life-affirming movies ever was made on a shoestring budget! And since I am in a Romantic mood (as my pick of «Dr. Zhivago» also might indicate), I will choose «A Room With A View» from 1985 by James Ivory to round up my Top 5 favourites!😄

Creature Feature - Jaws or American Werewolf in London (but The Fly is solid) Sci-fi - Back to the Future Superhero - Superman: The Movie (Dark Knight is objectively better, but my argument is without Donner’s Superman, we may not have the category as it is today at all) Whodunnit - The aforementioned Clue, but Seven and Usual Suspects are up there for the serious whodunnits.

Blazing Saddles as comedy or satire would be way high on my list. The Dark Knight can’t be beat in Superhero category. No Country For Old Men, The Godfather, Gladiator, Pulp Fiction all are on my top movies of all time list. If you haven’t read the novel True Grit, I can’t recommend it enough. The Coen brothers did a fantastic job adapting it but the original novel needs to be read. It is very short and could be read in a day or two. Lonesome Dove absolutely should be read as it is one of the greatest novels of all time.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest IS good, but drama... Dead Poets Society, hands down. Comedy, gotta disagree with you. Princess Bride. Although I'm a huge fan of When Harry Met Sally. (note, I made this list AS I was watching :P I think of this as a comedy more than a fantay) Musical - The Music Man. I will agree with you on Creature Feature. Period Piece - Amadeus is good, I was leaning Braveheart, but I think Jakob swayed me with Schindler's List. That movie was so good. Whodunit? Yes, The Usual Suspects is untouchable. Seven was good too, but nope. Although Kevin Spacey is representing :) Western, I'm leaning The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Sports - Rocky got me. I was leaning towards Remember the Titans or The Natural. Might be a three way tie. SciFi, I'm not sure any of them stand out to me. I did like Armageddon. And The Quiet Place. Action - unpopular pick, but I'm going with The Bourne Identity with a campy shoutout to Best of the Best (no, it's not great, but I still love that stupid movie). Fantasy, well I put Princess Bride in comedy so I screwed myself there :D Um, maybe The Seventh Seal. Super hero - Logan. Hands down. Or would that be claws down? IF they'd had Sabretooth in the roll of Logan's clone, it would have been absolutely perfect. Satire, I got nothing :D RomCom... well I didn't know you were picking that so yes, When Harry Met Sally wins here. Take care of that cauliflower ear, John ;)

I watch way too many movies, I have a ton in every category, I'd have to phone my list in, my typing finger will get tired. Jakob is hilarious, I couldn't stop laughing when he hit your ear. Some extras to add are A Time to Kill, Field of Dreams or Remember the Titans, anything Mel Brooks for satire or comedy, my favorite movie of all time is Casablanca (drama, period piece). There's really too many, even the comments. A movie not many know about is Swing Kids, I'd call that historical, it's a WWII film, but again, not well known. You need a Christmas movie category because that's where Die Hard falls leaving action open. This was fun, please do it again, I can contribute more. Add a nostalgia category and pretty much every movie from the 80s would fill the board. Would Terminator and T2 fall under action or sci-fi... See, this could go on forever for me. Superhero is difficult because my dad was such a Superman fan, that I have sentimental attachment to that one (I could quote them and know where specific scenes were in each, even the terrible 4th one), but I'm partial to Michael Keaton's Batman, I like the car and tools he used. Without those, I doubt I would've been as into the MCU, I wasn't into comics and I had no clue the 90s x-men cartoon was based on comics. There were some good picks, minus the virgin suicides and juno. Should do these categories again, but with the worst picks ever, those are also fun lists.

I’m not going through all of them! Haha. But sci-fi Star Wars original. But there are so many great ones. Action-love die hard but John wick has it beat! Fantasy definitely lord of the rings.

John, Mask of the Phantasm is the best Batman film 😎

This might be a controversial take but the best Batman movie, in my opinion, is George Clooney's Batman & Robin.

I'm disappointed none of y'all listed any anime or anime films.

I have not been a big anime watcher. Where should I start?

@@Talking_Story I would highly recommend anything Studio Ghibli. I really love Princess mononoke, Castle in the sky, Porco Rosso, and howls moving castle. Other classic series to watch I'd recommend are cowboy bebop, Vinland saga, Fullmetal alchemist: Brotherhood, Gurren Lagan, Mobile suit gundum unicorn ( or any Universal century series) and code geass. I'd also recommend anime inspired series such as blue eye samurai, avatar the last Airbender, and castlevania. Also recommend the across and into the Spiderverse films since they are heavily inspired by anime.

@@calebwelch6393 I have watched that first Spidey film and loved it. I don’t watch alot anymore with the amount I read and after all my time in the theatre if I am gonna watch something I usually want to watch an actor work as opposed to a voice performance. Having said that I should take myself outside my comfort zone and do something new so I really appreciate this list. I will tell you if you are a Full Metal Alchemist fan you may really enjoy our guest for the Artist’s Journey coming up in June.

I'm not sure if Everything Everywhere All at Once counts as a superhero or a comedy (I'd say it's both) but I'd say that has to be up there for superhero. Comedy for me would be Hot Fuzz, no question.

@@Talking_Story Oh absolutely! I'm surprised there was no mention of Martin McDonagh, I think you mentioned him in Chatting with Nutts and said he's your favourite playwright. I think In Bruges and Banshees of Inisherin both are excellent films!

Some of the best dramas: La Dolce Vita, Opening Night, This Sporting Life. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest is not a drama, but a melodrama, and there's a big difference. Best comedy, for me, is Everything is Illuminated, which is also a significantly better story about the holocaust than that cliched nonsense Schindler's List.
@Talking_Story Ай бұрын
I will say with the heightened characters and events you could say Cuckoo’s Nest could be considered melodrama. So for drama I will go with Ordinary People. Have not seen Everything is Illuminated yet but I will for sure put it on my list. Thanks!
