The American Film Institute - Top Ten Films in 10 Classic Genres

I love lists. Here is a list from The American Film Institute - top ten films in 10 classic genres.

The American Film Institute has selected the top ten films in 10 classic genres, featuring them Tuesday night in a three-hour special that aired on CBS. (AFI launched a website today at www.afi.com that features over 400 video clips from all of the 100 movies.)

The top two in each category:

Animation: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio

Fantasy: The Wizard of Oz, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Gangster: The Godfather, Goodfellas

Science Fiction: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars: Episode IV (the original)

Western: The Searchers, High Noon

Sports: Raging Bull, Rocky

Mystery: Vertigo, Chinatown

Romantic Comedy: City Lights, Annie Hall

Courtroom Drama: To Kill a Mockingbird, 12 Angry Men

Epic: Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur

In this partial list of movies, I would have to say my favorites are. What are your favorites?

The Wizard of Oz and Ben-Hur
