Top X Movies By Category

I have just been looking through movies, and I decided I'd try to finally capture a list or (or two or ten) of my favorites, potentially by genre. That's hard, though, since a lot of them span genres, so some mixing and matching may be involved...

    Western
  • The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
  • Once Upon a Time in the West
  • The Wild Bunch
  • The Magnificent Seven
  • My Name is Nobody
  • Unforgiven


    Sci-Fi
  • Aliens
  • The Day the Earth Stood Still (the old one)
  • Predator
  • Blade Runner


    Horror
  • Jaws
  • The Birds
  • The Thing


    Drama/Suspense
  • Casablanca
  • The Shawshank Redemption
  • Rear Window
  • Reservoir Dogs
  • Apollo 13
  • The Professional


    Comedy
  • State and Main
  • Dogma
  • Hatari
  • Snatch
  • The Princess Bride
  • Army of Darkness
  • Space Cowboys


    Kung Fu (it deserves its own category)
  • Enter the Dragon
  • The Seven Samurai
  • Yojimbo


    Action/Adventure
  • V for Vendetta
  • Die Hard


    Mystery
  • The Usual Suspects
  • Bullitt
  • North By Northwest
  • Vertigo


    War
  • The Great Escape
  • Letters From Iwo Jima
  • Where Eagles Dare
  • Memphis Belle
  • In Harm's Way


These lists I came up with in the span of about 20 minutes. The pressure of thinking of them has probably caused me to forget a few. So, when I come across some that should have had on here, I'll just come back and change the lists :-)

And, I didn't do top X because some have more than others, clearly.
