As you point out, they clearly had idiots preparing these lists. Sure no one is ever going to agree with every inclusion and deletion… but Titanic as an epic? They must have thought epic meant long.

In film school we used to talk about Star Wars as being a Western actually.

And Titanic is an epic because of the Huge Swooping Camera Shots and Long Run Time. (That’s how I think of epics generally — I’m not big on epics).

I’m rather too opinionated on most films to launch into what I think should and shouldn’t be on the list, but I do need to say that I Dislike Chaplin immensely. I’d rather have seen Buster Keaton on the Rom Com list.

Lion King should be disqualified before any consideration is given; it's shameful how completely they ripped off Tezuka's Kimba the White Lion.

Musicals would be a great category!

I think the emphasis on old rom coms is because new ones, for the most part, suck tremendously. While You Were SLeeping is fabulous, though. It’s one of the last good roms coms. And Secretary. (Yeah, I have weird taste too. From the super sweet church going practically g-rated WYWS to the S&M flick). And I think they probably wouldn’t consider teen romantic comedies, even though those are both great films you mentioned, Cara. Also, I think both NH and AIH are English, too…

As for animation, if they really were worried about the technical aspects, TRON and Roger Rabbit would be on there. RR, is also an amazing film.

They should do teen movies as a category. American Graffitti, Bring it On…

It’s the omissions that bother me more than the inclusions. If I were rewriting the lists, I’d switch in Shakespeare in Love and Four Weddings and a Funeral in place of Sleepless in Seattle and either Annie Hall or Roman Holiday (I like them both, but…) [Okay, now I realize that they're just doing American movies and 4 Weddings is surely British, but I think Shakespeare was made with American money, wasn't it? So I think it should count.)

And why are so many of the romantic comedy movies listed so old? The other categories are mostly not so dominated. Do they think there are no good modern romantic comedies? How about While You Were Sleeping, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, Notting Hill, An Ideal Husband, Grosse Point Blank? (Okay, I have weird tastes.)

And I think animation is focused much more on the technical visual aspects than story or anything -- hence Fantasia!!! And the emphasis on early Disney and modern computer animation. (I'd much rather have The Incredibles than Fantasia!) And I agree with you that The Lion King is really overrated.

And on the SF list, I'd dump T2 and Back to the Future, and Switch in Forbidden Planet and Gattaca. And, if I'm being honest, I'd chuck out E.T. (IMHO way overrated) and switch in Star Trek 2 or 4, or Serenity, or Metropolis [or was that foreign? yeah, probably], or The Matrix, or Twelve Monkeys. Or even Planet of the Apes.

As far as missing categories, how about Musicals???
