Oi, I guess you are free to make such horrible puns.

Hey, all of GC's distressing straitification of recent days reminds me ....



Why no Musicals genre???? Shame, shame, shame.




And, btw, Triple Homocidal Inked, Drawn and Quartered Shame on the AFI for implying "Animation" is a genre. It most certainly is not. It's bad enough that plebes and peons make this nasty error, but the AFI? What frucktards!!

Last night I saw Michael Clayton, which I thought was excellent, especially how it's a movie involving attorneys and lawsuits and evil corporations, and NO COURTROOM SCENES! Amen. I hate courtroom scenes in movies (and TV). My roommate and I cannot be in the same room watching a courtroom scene since I scream objections at the television and whatnot. But I wonder if they still consider it "courtroom drama" if there's no courtroom?

innerSpaceman 06-20-2008 11:30 AM

Nope, not a courtroom drama. Lawyer drama. Whole new category. Defies listing. Huzzah.

....but Cat Ballou was? thats just wrong IMO.

Texas across the River should beat out Cat Ballou. :p


and couldnt agree more, Tombstone should have been on that list well before more than a couple of the other westerns.

nit! *pick*
nit! *pick*

I found their choices of genres to be very weird. To not include either war films or horror films was just very strange.

And to not include porn either!

Oh the upside, Tom's favorite movie and my favorite movie hit the Romantic Comedy list at numbers 1 and 9 respectively. What can I say? We're mooshy.

I've seen most of them, but I agree: genre choices, totally weird. Musicals and horror are two of my favorites, and they shouldn't have been excluded. War movies I can pretty much do without - but also, it seems like it spans westerns (sometimes) and dramas (always.)

What would your to 10 musicals be? Horror?

innerSpaceman 06-20-2008 12:45 PM

Steve's Gay Top 10 Musicals:
(in no particular order)

1. Singin' in the Rain
2. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
3. 1776
4. Scrooge
5. The Wizard of Oz
6. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever
7. West Side Story
8. Victor/Victoria
9. Moulin Rouge
10. Beauty and the Beast





(There are many runners-up that would make the Top 10 on any given whim.)

Oooh. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Love that one. Mountain men...

On top of its hottie hotness, the dance sequence in the barn raising scene is excellent. One of my all-time favorite scenes.
