There's too many across to many genres that I love. Generally, I'm a fan of Akira Kurosawa & Kevin Smith films, but I also love the Star Wars series.

Umm... for the sake of listing...

Favourite Drama: Aimee und Jaguar
Favourite Comedy: Any of Kevin Smith's comedies. Dogma probably shades it.
Favourite Action: Return of the Jedi
Favourite Romance: Cha Cha Chá

Question: Can Serenity be watched on its own or do you need the back story of it?
Looks like I need to pick up V for Vendetta, Shaun of the Dead, The Professional, The Castle and King Arthur (which was on TV the other night ), the few I haven't seen or are interested in seeing. Great lists guys, keep it coming!

OK here goes (I too consider myself abit of a film buff)

Comedy
Ghostbusters (I'm sure Robzy agrees) IMo some of Bill Murrays best work, along with Stripes and Groundhog Day.
The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1800 Unbelivable)
Superbad (yeah it's low brow but so funny)

Crime
Snatch
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction (Nothing needed to be said on these 3 classics)

Action
Predator (Pure genius for it's time)
Die Hard
Under Siege (Tommy Lee Jones is one of the best villians ever in this)

chick flicks (defined by films my wife has made me watch)
Love Actually (quite funny guys)
Intolerable Cruelty
Rent (crappy sad story but some awesome rock songs)

Epic/Blockbuster/Big Release style movies
the Perfect Storm (being a 4th gen fisherman at one stage of my life this is given)
Independence Day
X-Men 3 (Great conclusion to a great Trilogy)

Cinematic Crimes (Movies that should be destroyed and never viewed)
the Mod squad
Weekend at Bernies 2
Police Academy Mission to Moscow

there are so many more movies that I love that deserve mention like Tron, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Karate Kid, Fight club, Seven, Snake Eyes, the Stand, The Replacements, Bloodsport and Troy (plus so many more) but here are my 3 favourites of all time

High Fidelity (alot of people liken me to John Cusacks character in this film)
The Boondock Saints (The film Tarantino should of made)
and number 1 of all time and probably most viewed by me

The Transformers: The Movie (naturally)

Thats it case closed. Mods feel free to lock this thread as the answer has been given

Judging from what you have already listed You should check out The Boondock Saints. I believe you will enjoy it.

It's kinda funny how no one's mentioned those other types of movies yet... (You know the ones with really bad acting... - Of course I'm referring to 80's gold like "Revenge of the Nerds" - What else would I be talking about? )

[Fungal Infection]

Revenge of the Nerds is a classic!! Along with Bachelor Party, the first Police Academy and Porkies!! Of course I was underage to watch all these movies but that didn't stop me watching them while my older brother did!
