So noticing that most peoples top twenty (except for the Halloween freak) had a mix of genres, how about we rate those as well...
 
Categories being (with my picks)...
 
Comedy(Arsenic and Old Lace, Young Frankenstien, Raising Arizona, Its a 4xMad World, Any of the Stooges)
 
Drama(American Beauty, Fixing the Shadow, Couching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Usual Suspects, Sexy Beast)
 
Sci Fi (2001, Alien, Day the Earth Stood Still, Matrix, Soylent Green)
 
Horror (Halloween, Basket Case, the Omen, The Exorcist, Night of the Living Dead)
 
Action (Die Hard, Rambo, Hardboiled, Enter the Dragon, Terminator 2)
 
Western (Unforgiven, Silverado, Magnificent Seven, Good Bad & Ugly<like my saturday nights used to be before marriage> True Grit)
 
War (Full Metal Jacket, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Battle of the Bulge, Patton)
 
Animated (Akira, Fantasia, Allegro non Troppo, Shrek, the Incredibles)
 
Fantasy (Princess Bride, Legend, Excalibur, Lady Hawk, Lord Of The Rings)
 
Add others if you think your films dont fit in there somewhere. Some films will straddle two or more genres, so just pick the most obvious category. "

Drama (American Beauty, Devil’s Advocate, Heat, Unbreakable, Seven)
 
Sci Fi--this is hard (Alien, Alien3, Predator, Blade Runner, The Matrix)

I’d say Psychological Drama. Or, a big mind fuck like most of Fincher’s films.
