Movie spirit animals? I smell another thread coming.

I've never seen Grandma's Boy. I keep trying to get my son to watch it with me as I think it's something a 15 year old boy would enjoy, from what I know of it. Aren't video games a big deal in that movie?

I don't know what it is about that movie, it shouldn't work but it does. Its one of those Happy Madison movies that Adam Sandler just financed for his friends to star in and for whatever reason it just cracks me up. Its to video games what Caddyshack is to golf. My son still hasn't seen it, might be time to fire it up this weekend. I think it just embraces what it is, doesn't overstay it's welcome, and is just so stupid its funny. Its as quotable as any comedy I've ever seen.

Rom-Coms????

‘Da **** Outta Heere.

Look, if you're not gonna take this discussion seriously, you should probably just excuse yourself from the thread.

I am trying to answer the question while seriously including Rom-Coms. But if you’re going to mock me, I will not.

Right. But it’s a shitty movie. This is for the best movies of each genre. It’s in the header, even.

I guess if you had actually watched it, your opinion would hold water.

I watched all I needed to watch. Sharknado is a better ******* movie.

I like it. I'm a little confused by your Western list though.

[Hawgdriver]

I like it. I'm a little confused by your Western list though.

At first glance, sure. But Western, as a genre, is even more accommodating than BeefStew's colon.

[MOtorboat]

Here we go again with the westerns...

[MOtorboat]

I’m going to say these are my favorite three in each genre, not the “best” in each genre. Make sense?

Westerns
1. There Will Be Blood
2. Unforgiven
3. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Action
1. John Wick II

3. Die Hard

1. Return of the Jedi (first movie I put on repeat in my life)
2. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
3. Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Horror
1. Jaws
2. The Exorcist
3. Dracula (1993)

Crime Drama
1. Godfather II
2. Godfather I
3. Goodfellas

Heist movies
1. Ocean’s 11 (Don’t @ me)
2. Den of Thieves (Seriously, this movie is awesome)
3. The Town

Dramas
1. Shawshank Redemption
2. Gladiator
3. The Ninth Gate

War movies
1. Full Metal Jacket
2. The Bridge Over the River Kwai
3. Dunkirk (this is recency bias, because I never saw it until a month ago and liked it)

Adventure/comedies
1. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
2. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark (I love Indiana Jones, was tempted to go 1-2-3j
3. The Golden Child (I know this movie is roundly panned, but I love it)

Comedies
1. Caddyshack
2. Super Troopers (Funniest opening 10 minutes of any movie ever)
3. This Is The End (primarily because druggie Michael Cera makes me belly laugh)

Dystopian
1. Mad Max: Fury Road
2. Children of Men
3. Mad Max Thunderdome

Rom-Coms

2. Silver Linings Playbook

3. Rudy

I had the hardest time with action and war movies. Not my most favorite genres of movies. I don’t tend to rewatch those genres a lot. I’ll see a movie and move on. In the other genres I think I’ve seen everything listed multiple times if not dozens. I own most of them.
