all time 100
Empire have been running a feature which has recently finished, in which a writer compiled his top 100 films.Along with this came conditions. You had to have 10 films in each of 10 genres, which I shall enumerate later, you had to have certain directors, you had to have certain nations too.
Well, I'm here to set this challenge too. I've missed out the director and international requirements, because I think some of them are silly (he asks for Chaplin but not hitchcock).
However, ground rules
- stick to the genres, you can alter them slightly- if you can't do war, perhaps do war/action and split two categories in two, or add a new one
-try and make your films distinct- if you have a naked gun, don't have an Airplane, you want to try and represent various different styles within a particular genre for true success
-be considerate when adding very new films- are you sure you will like them in years to come.
Heres my list-
Comedy

Hmmm, now this is a difficult thing for me to do, primarily because i have seen many films, some of which I cannot remember the names. Secondly, I'm not really sure if i have got that many favourite films... I will force myself to try to list as many as i can... i may need to borrow your book of films. Anyone else goona try this?
Adieu
I will attempt this when it isn't 10 to 1 in the morning.
I may have to miss some sections as I really can't think of 10 ganagster/westerns that I like. However that may change by the time I get up.
Spelling and titles are important you know. It's "The Outlaw Josey Wales", no "called", and "Reservoir". Come on, pay attention.
Terribly sorry anon. I was feeling sort of lazy when I typed it out.
why did past me forget the godfather? And its werewolf in london, not paris!
