Mu Cow - Best Movies

Criticker

Criticker has a new feature (well, new to me) that let's you organize films based on various categories, so I've decided to make my own "Best Movies" from each year and genre.

1991 - Hudson Hawke
1992 - Aladdin
1993 - Groundhog Day
1994 - Forrest Gump
1995 - Braveheart
1996 - Trainspotting
1997 - The Fifth Element
1998 - The Legend of 1900
1999 - Fight Club
2000 - Requiem for a Dream
2001 - Moulin Rouge
2002 - Chicago
2003 - Return of the King
2004 - Napoleon Dynamite
2005 - Batman Begins
2006 - The Fountain
2007 - No Country for Old Men
2008 - The Dark Knight
2009 (so far) - Watchmen

Romance - Metropolis
Drama - Metropolis
Crime - The Dark Knight
For Kids - The Emperor's New Groove
Action - The Fountain (really?)
War - Braveheart
Western - Dead Man
Animation - The Emperor's New Groove
Thriller - Metropolis
Documentary - Animals are Beautiful People
Comedy - Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Sci-Fi - Metropolis
Musical - Moulin Rouge!
Fantasy - Batman Begins
Adventure - Children of Men
Horror - Young Frankenstein
Mystery - The Dark Knight

So apparently Criticker defines genres very broadly and inconsistently, as a lot of these don't make sense (Batman Begins is a fantasy, but The Dark Knight is not). It appears that Metropolis is the overall winner, but I like how often Batman shows up. Another thing I found funny, despite giving all the Lord of the Rings movies the same rating, Return of the King is the only one that makes the list.
