The American Film Institute has come out with their list of 10 Greatest Films in 10 Classic Genres. The genres are: Animation, Romantic Comedies, Western, Sports, Mystery, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Gangster, Courtroom Drama and Epic. Of course all animators will be upset since animation is a medium not a genre but so be it. They don't list non-romantic comedies or action films or monster movies. Having King Kong in Fantasy with Groundhog Day and Big seems a little strange.
I've seen all but two of the films. Oddly they're not westerns or sports films which I'm weaker on but courtroom dramas, one of my favorite genres. I have to see In Cold Blood and A Cry in the Dark.
