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.

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.

I have a lot of favorites, but I really liked Talladega Nights.
