Sci-Fi : 2001: A Space Odyssey

War : Apocalypse Now

Mockumentary : Spinal Tap

Horror : Signs (may classify in the following)

Thriller : There Will Be Blood

Animated : Wall-E / Robin Hood

Cult : Back to the Future / The Sandlot (uncertain about the classification?)

Documentary : Stand By Me (yes)

 

[Guest]

"British" is a genre? Who knew?! Why no "American" genre? - they seem popular.

I agree with Weston - meh is a classic.

 

[Guest]

Action Crouching Tiger
Adventure Bourne Trilogy
Comedy Duck Soup
Crime/Gangster In Bruges
Drama Birdman
Horror Alien
Musicals Cabaret
Sci-Fi Moon
War/Anti-War Paths of Glory
Chick Flicks Chicken Run
Disaster Koyaanisqatsi
Cult Films Donnie Darko


...genres are difficult!

In Bruges is a sad, funny, guy movie that features gangsters and has adventure to go with the drama, a bit surreal, and overall a real cult classic. Epic!
