in that case you'll like these lists of top ten movies in various genres by the guardian. i have plenty of quibbles: how is "silence of the lambs" not on the adaptation list? why is jerry maguire on the sports list (it's a romance disguised as a sports movie) and "brian's song" and "bang the drum slowly" not? where is "wall-e" on the animated list? and it's not fair, i think, that some movies are on multiple lists. still, very thought-provoking. i was surprised that i'd seen all of the movies on only two lists (sci-fi, comedy) and 9 of 10 on two others (family, horror). i guess i need to see more french and russian movies.
