[Del Murder]

Ambitious goal, Laddy. I can probably give you one, but not ten.

Action: Die Hard
Adventure: Raiders of the Lost Ark
Animation: Aladdin
Comedy: The Big Lebowski
Crime: Se7en
Drama: The Godfather
Romance: N/A
Epics:
Historical:
Fantasy: Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Horror: N/A
Thriller: The Fugitive
Musical: The Sound of Music
Science Fiction: The Empire Strikes Back

For some reason I can't think of any epics or historical right now. What counts as epic?

[Laddy]

A long, typically non-fantastical, quest-based storyline with heroic protagonists, large budgets, and rather deliberate pacing.

[edczxcvbnm]

Action and Adventure: Commando
Animation: The Emperor's New Groove
Comedy: Austin Powers
Crime: Heat
Drama and Romance: America's Sweethearts...it counts as romance!!! It is a Rom-Com after all >.>
Epics and Historical: Lawrence of Arabia
Fantasy: Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring
Horror and Thriller: Pitch Black
Musical: The Producers
Science Fiction: Star Wars

Some of these categories were easier than others. The ones I put right off the bat are Sci-Fi, Horror, Historic, Action, Crime and Animation. The others were more like "I guess I will put this down" because I am not as big of a fan of those genre or nothing sticks out as "DUH!" to me...and I found my loop hole for Drama/Romance. Considering all of the Rom-Coms you shouldn't have double booked romance with drama. It gives a loop hole for fun =D
