Old war movie - A Bridge Too Far: saw it in the theater with my Dad, so it's my favorite

New war movie - Saving Private Ryan: best war movie ever, IMO

Action movie - Aliens: my all-time favoritest movie ever.

Thriller - LA Confidential: 2nd all-time favorite movie ever.

Chick flick - While You Were Sleeping: mildly amusing, especially Joe Fusco jr. and his French cologne - "Paris Guy".

Guy movie - The Matrix: would have been better without having a mannequin in the lead role.  "Whoa!"

Comedy - Office Space: high replayability factor, but only the first 2/3 of it.

Horror - Jaws: not a straight horror flick but a really damn good movie.

Sorry for continuing to make edits, but I keep remembering other movies that need to be there.  :)

Because none of the characters are good guys?

With some shame I must admit that I loved the idea of the character English Bob.  But then again my family immigrated from Ireland and worked on the other railroad.
