just wanted to see the taste of people here and share some of mine, perhaps i can even find a new favorite in the replies.
for fantasy:
gotta put my vote in for Lord of the rings as the the best trilogy to this date.
to the point i even started re watching it again, return of the king is next on the copping block on sunday, the extended edition with 4 hours and 22 minutes.
i just find it to be everybody involved at their best, the performances, peter jackson, the costumes, the locations, it all just fits together so well.
horror movies:
Ring (リング, 1998), just a classic that just cant be beat by the numerous other iterations and remakes.
superhero movies: probably the one everybody else and their mother knows about, infinity war
action movie:
new police story 2004, i just love the more serious tone the movie has including the insanity that it neatly woven into it.
comedy movie: kung fu hustle, no context needed
