Far too difficult to choose an overall favorite, so here's my favorite in each major genre. Assume, if a movie has it, that I'm talking about the Director's Cut of that particular movie, <em>not</em> the Theatrical Cut.

Action- Ip Man (2008)

Adventure- Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

Biography- Amadeus (1984)

Comedy- Groundhog Day (1993)

Crime- Se7en (1995)

Documentary- The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara (2003)

Drama- The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Fantasy- Lord of the Rings trilogy (2001-2003)

Noir- The Maltese Falcon (1941)

History- Inherit the Wind (1960)

Horror- Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)

Musical- Fiddler on the Roof (1971)

Mystery- Oldboy (2003)

Romance- The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

Sci-Fi- Dark City (1998)

Sport- The Karate Kid (1984)

Thriller- Perfume: the Story of a Murderer (2006)

War- Last of the Mohicans (1992)

Western- The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)

My favorite genre of the lot is probably Sci-Fi.

An all-time favorite of mine would have to be "Inception", simply because of the depth of the plot in the movie. I tend to watch action or action-comedy movies (I also love movies with Denzel Washington in it).
