• Musical : The Blues Brothers (if that isn’t allowed then ‘Seven Brides for Seven Brothers’)

• Horror : The Exorcist

• Romance : Hannah and her Sisters

• Sci Fi : 2001 Space Odyssey

• Mystery: The Usual Suspects (assuming by Mystery we mean films based around solving a puzzle or a crime or something along those lines)

This is TOO hard! I keep changing my mind! I don't do romance; romantic filoms make me want to throw up! Though maybe Gone with the Wind MIGHT count as a romance. Could Casablanca be counted as Romance?I certainly agree with Man For All Seasons and Usual Suspects.

I may deal with this in the New Year - or maybe not!

I like your choices, BB. I always thought Logan's Run was an excellent movie, and seeing a young Farrah Fawcett run around made it doubly good. I must agree that DDD was indeed a romantic movie (it was also other things as well).

My only change would be to add a movie no-one watched, Bang the Drum Slowly, as my pick for best sports movie.

Zulu is probably on my top 3 list of best in any genre.
