Favorite movies

[Capper]

I got to thinking this up a couple weeks ago while watching a movie marathon at the house. Its hard for me to pick a single "Best Movie", but I can narrow it down to 10 or even pick best movies by category.

1. The Usual Suspects (To me, the best movie ever made)
2. Fight Club
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. The Green Mile
5. Saving Private Ryan
6. There's Something About Mary
7. Office Space
8. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
9. The Thing (The remake with Kurt Russell is the best scary movie ever)
10. Bull Durham


These are just movies I love, but lets break them down by category, and vote for the favorites by each category.

Murder/Mystery
Drama
Action/Adventure
Comedy
Horror

A Bridge Too Far is one of my favorite war movies...really underrated considering the people who starred in it...and one of the biggest military Goat Rodeos ever

Totally forgot Braveheart too

Funny you should mention that since The Day The Earth Stood Still is playing on cable here right now. Way ahead of it's time as was Forbidden Planet.
