So what exactly is Irish genre? Obviously not set in Ireland. What percentage of the cast have to speak in oirish brogue to fit the criteria?

"If you build it, they will come." :)

Here in America Irish genre means movies about the Irish and Irish-Americans.

I know it sounds stupid. I guess if the same rule would apply in Switzerland, then American genre there would be movies like European Vacation

What's next, Joseph..."Favorite movies with purple things"

John Locke: What's next, Joseph..."Favorite movies with purple things"

Christian Genre Movies
 

My favorite:

Brother Sun, Sister Moon

I would have to say, i celebrate most of woody allens catalog.

Hest Street is a lovely film as well.

Zac

Philadelphia

Quo Vadis...I like the scene where the christians are thrown to the lions

The final shot from that film, where Costner's catching ball with his dad, and the Iowa sky takes on a deep indigo, is one of the most beautifully coloured that I've ever seen.

You're having a laugh, aren't you?

Monsoon Wedding is a good one, from India.

A little British flick, BILLY ELLIOT.

MY LIFE AS A DOG
AMELIE (sp?)
PIXOTE
PELLE THE CONQUEROR

Just to name a few quickly.

I guess you'd call "Bad Taste" a niche film. As for "Lord of the Rings" I haven't seen it. I'm tired of seeing Hollywood murder classics.

John, There is a deep psychological meaning to purple color. If you should drive a pink car, you'd be popular in this town. If you'd add pink wardrobe, you'd be a hero. Now all would be left is painting your camera yellow -- then you'd be in real trouble. Add couple of gold crowns to your front teeth, Mohawk haircut and similarly dressed anorexic girlfriend named Always Ready and you'd be in business on Hollywood Boulevard. :)

Dave

(It's about an honest president!)

[edit] Oh no, hang on, it's about an honest man pretending to be the President! My bad. :-)

Dirty Dancing

Okay, if sports fantasies are allowed, then THE NATURAL.

How does DIRTY DANCING make it as a musical? It's a movie with dancing that has songs but the story isn't told in the musical numbers.

Here's some more that I loved:
ALL THAT JAZZ
SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER and UNCUT
JESUS CHRIST: SUPERSTAR

My wife would like to add Jesus Christ Superstar.

I'm not sure whether this is Christian genre, Musical genre, a crossover, or a genre of its own (Christian Musical Lloyd Webber genre perhaps?)

Whatever, it's her choice, not mine!

I don't like films that use music specifically to tell the story, as I mentioned elsewhere it contradicts my lack of imagination.

But I liked On The Town and South Pacific

Hmmm,
Seperate sports fantasy heading maybe....

Field of Dreams.

Almost any Rock Hudson, Doris Day movie.

HIS GIRL FRIDAY

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
The scene describing the DIRTY DOZEN was great.

MURPHY'S ROMANCE

PRINCESS BRIDE

The Princess Bride
Army of Darkness

I liked Nosferatu and the spin off of it, Shadow of the Vampire.

LIFEFORCE!!!
woohooo, i just like very attractive nakedness.

Zac

Fearless Vampire Killers. A very young (and alive) Sharon Tate!

Strange Brew :p

Stadt der Verloren Kinder.

Everything by Jean Vigo... L'Atalante, Zero de Conduite, Apropos de Nice.

Everything by Alexander Dovshenko, especially Zemlya ("Earth"), one of my all-time favorites.

Cinema Paradiso.

I think from a technical standpoint The Color Purple stands out. Why it didn't win an award is beyond me. Frankly I think Whoopi Goldberg's best movie.

Of the best job burying a film that has to go to Barbarosa featuring Willie Nelson. I have always thought that was one of the better westerns.

In the Hollywood attempting to correct its lame writing in mysteries category I'd say The Sixth Sense. My only complaint about the movie is that they didn't warn us that they had a good script!

For Christmas movies, who could argue with A Christmas Story. Though Its a Wonderful Life is neck and neck with Story.

In animation Baski's Wizards is a gem. It demonstrates the fledling talent of this animator and why Disney later hired him. As I recall, the character Elenore was even featured in Playboy's Letters section.

Anyone saw "Ciao Manhattan" with a live Edie Sedgwick?
Saw it 30 years ago or so. Was impressed, can't remember why though..

I don't know who asked the question, but I haven't seen
Amsterdamned. It supposed to have some cool boat chase
seens on the water indeed (in the city). Amsterdam is an okay
city, but not the nicest one here in Holland in my opinion....

And no, Holland isn't the capital of Amsterdam. And no, Amsterdam
isn't the capitol of Holland either!

It does have the largest airport in the country though!

I have only seen one gay movie: F---ing Amal which I liked.
About two young girls who discover their love for eachother.
