Props to bertie, lbangs, bitterms, UncRoger, jblack, jim, and anyone else who blazed the trail. The sad thing is that there are still some of my favorite films that don't fit any of these genres well enough to fit here: where do I put Casablanca and Citizen Kane?! I'll keep thinking...
Well, Casablanca and Kane could fight it out for the "Iconic" title.
Yeah! Categorizing those two films is wrong anyway! They transcend genre! Well, at jblack's request, I'm going to put up an overall top ten soon, so those two will get their day in the sun...
