the cliche "favorites" thread

[arjue]

simple copy, paste and edit job here.

Favorite director: Wes Anderson
Favorite actor: Owen Wilson
Favorite actress: Naomi Watts
Favorite genre: comedy
Favorite comedy: The Big Labowski
Favorite thriller: Collateral
Favorite horror: The Ring
Favorite sci-fi: The Fifth Element
Favorite drama: 21 Grams
Favorite action: Kill bill (vol. 2 if I need to specify)
Favorite fantasy: LOTR (ROTK if i need to specify)
Favorite Romance: Million Dollar Hotel

Favorite overall movie: The Royal Tennenbaums


If you feel like being more specific, then go ahead, however, the one solid rule is that you have to pick a lone favorite in each area. No ties (this ripped my heart out too, so stop crying).


feel free to pick apart peoples posts (damn alliteration) and discuss shit and what not.

Before anyone says anything, Owen Wilson is the motherfucking man so you better reckonise. His comic style is amazing (particularly when he's improvising). I think that the best of the newer generation of actors are probably Edward Norton, Johnny Depp, and Christian Bale, however, this is a list of favorites, not what you think is the best, hence Owen topping them all.

also, Naomi Watts acting balls are bigger than my head.
