ORG Planet's Favorite Movie

I wanted to try something new here, and see if anyone else would be interested in doing it

Basically this would be an elimination game. There are going to be 10 categories based on genre, style and audience. You will pick one movie per category.

Here are the 10 Categories:

1 ~ Family/Childrens (Non-Animation)

2 ~ Family/Childrens (Animation)

3 ~ Action/Adventure

4 ~ Comedy (Non-Romance)

5 ~ Romance

6 ~ Animation (Non-Family/Childrens)

7 ~ Horror

8 ~ Drama

9 ~ Teen

10 ~ Science Fiction


There are tons of other genres we could use but for now that is what we are gonna use.

To sign up, just reply to this topic with your 10 choices.

I'll pick first:

1 ~ Family/Childrens (Non-Animation) E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial


2 ~ Family/Childrens (Animation) The Lion King


3 ~ Action/Adventure The Day After Tomorrow


4 ~ Comedy (Non-Romance) Role Models


5 ~ Romance Pretty Woman


6 ~ Animation (Non-Family/Childrens) Final Fantasy The Spirits Within


7 ~ Horror Halloween (Original)


8 ~ Drama Mystic River


9 ~ Teen Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead


10 ~ Science Fiction Jurassic Park

If you need help finding movies you can go to Wikipedia and they list movies by genres for most of these categories and can help you choose the right movies for each category.

Alright, we have 5 sign-ups. If anyone else wants to sign up, I am giving you 24 hours to do so. Tomorrow evening at some point I will start this game. Probably around 10pm EST after Big Brother ends.

Im going to ask Niki and Kyle if they want to sign up. Don't know if they have seen this thread or not.

Thanks Mandie, that would be awesome if they did. I also know that Stacie had commented that she wanted to participate but hasn't chosen anyone yet

kk, it's my birthday friday and i have a family shindig. I will talk to Stacie tomorrow while she is here. Give it till Sunday, I'll try to get you some more peeps.

Alright Mandie, I'll give it to Sunday evening around 8pm EST then, thanks

I passed the word on today to Niki. Fingers crossed!

I'd like to add movies.. I'm embarassed though cuz I dont always know how to classify them..

maybe i can list some movies and people can help classify them?

I will TRY to properly classify some movies.. if they are wrong let me know..

1 ~ Family/Childrens (Non-Animation) -- Hocus Pocus

2 ~ Family/Childrens (Animation) -- Happy Feet

3 ~ Action/Adventure -- Inception ?

4 ~ Comedy (Non-Romance) -- Meet the Fockers (hope this fits.. i know they are getting married and there is SOME romance but i think it's more of a comedy right? if you count it as a romance instead you can replace 50 first dates with this and i will pick a diff comedy)

5 ~ Romance -- 50 First Dates

6 ~ Animation (Non-Family/Childrens) -- family guy

7 ~ Horror -- Texas Chainsaw Massacre

8 ~ Drama -- Walk the Line (again, never seen it but dad liked it so why not..)

9 ~ Teen -- Mean Girls (honestly havent even seen it, its just the only one i can think of)

10 ~ Science Fiction -- I am Number Four (please say it counts!!)

Niki, thanks for adding some :D and all of those are fine.

As for Drama, go to Drama Film on wiki and read up. It shows sub-dramas but as long as it won't fit into another of the genres more than it is fine. (for example, you cannot pick any animated films or family films for this category).

and lastly, the genre everyone has struggled with: non-family/children Animation - for this one you can pick a movie by Studio Ghibli (like Castle In The Sky, Ponyo, etc. Technically they are family movies but I'm gonna let it slide due to the trouble of filling in this genre.)Also, any movies based on Adult Swim can also work, including: Family Guy, Robot Chicken, Futurama, etc. (I know some of these aren't originally on Adult Swim or even on it now but you get the picture ). You can choose direct to DVD movies for this genre as well, due to the trouble of picking movies for it.

ok i picked and edited my post. thanks for the help.. sorry i need to watch more movies haha.
