As a bit of a distraction (and taking a bit of inspiration from RoversAlias’ Cult Heroes poll) I thought it would be interesting to see what the forum’s favourite film is in each genres and ultimately see if one can be marked out as the forum’s favourite. The idea is I’ll start a thread each day appealing for nominations, and then make a shortlist (between 5 & 10 depending on how many nominations there are) as a poll to decide on the most popular of that type (on the following day). Then the winners/top two will go into another poll to see if we can determine an absolute favourite.I reckon these should cover most film types but let me know if there’s anything missing...- Comedy- Action- Thriller- Horror- Sci-fi- Drama- Musical- War- Non-fiction/documentary- Musical/Rom-com/romantic (don’t expect there to be many nominations for this one so might as well lump them all together )- Adventure/fantasy
Comedy - SnatchAction - Raiders of the lost ArkThriller - JawsHorror - PsychoDrama - SleepersMusical - Mamma Mia!War - Saving private RyanDocumentary - World at warSci-fi - Star WarsRom-com - Love ActuallyAdventure/fantasy Flash GordonSpecial mention for Threads, not classed as a horror but hell i shit myself watching that.

I'd have any of the Spaghetti WesternsComedy. Dr Strange love is just geniusDrama. 12 Angry Men.Not sure what category but Amelie is just beautiful.Horror: I don't care much for slasher type films. But I'd say Dead Man's Shoes is about the most horrifically compelling film I've ever seen. Sci-Fi: 2001Documetary: TV series rather than film. Carl Sagan's Cosmos. Totally changed my life. But also The World at War is superb.War: Thin Red Line. The scene with the dead Japanese soldier speaking is possibly THE most emotionally searing scene I've ever watched. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DDj64X7hOt3M&ved=2ahUKEwiU9rGY1JjpAhWQi1wKHS4aCv8QwqsBMAF6BAgKEAQ&usg=AOvVaw3-YaWqw8-3usbxW4vMQ2PdBut my favourite of all time, which is a comedy but transcends them all is The Big Lebowski.In fact, you could do a decent poll just on the best Coen Brothers film.Big LebowskiFargoIntolerable CrueltyO Brother Where Art ThouNo Country for Old Men.True GritRaising ArizonaThe Man Who Wasn't ThereBarton Fink.That would cover a lot of the categories and most of the film's would straddle several categories. Fargo on its own stands as a brilliant comedy, thriller and horror film.
