Favorite Movies

So, while editing my profile I came down to the question "Favorite Movies?". And, well....that dinky, little box wasn't big enough for me to talk about my favorite movies in greater detail. There are eleven main film genres(types) and from those eleven there are dozens and dozens of sub-genres, many of which overlap with multiple main genres. I'm going to give you my list of favorite of the year in each since 2000 in each of the MAIN genres. Maybe if I'm bored some other time, I'll give you a list of my favorite films in the hundred or so sub-genres. Most of the films for 2010 are all on my poll I have posted at the bottom of my home page...go vote for your favorite.

11) WESTERNS

• I'm sorry...but Westerns don't really interest me. The only ones i have seen have been with my grandparents, and I only really half watched those. I own a few, but havn't watched them. So, no top ten for this category. However, I do plan on seeing Cowboys and Aliens (a science fiction western starring Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, and Noah Ringer) when it comes out next summer. If you got a favorite western, comment below and maybe I'll go out and watch it and maybe eventually I will have watched enough to make up a top ten.
