Pardon the fact I may put some of these in genres that seem unfitting.
1. What are your favorite:
a) Comedy - Multiplicity, Groundhog Day
b) Drama - Braveheart, Dragonfly
c) Fantasy/Sci-fi - the Matrix (I), Blade (I/II), LoTR (I/II), Highlander (I)
d) "B" Movie - Tomcats (comedy)
e) Horror - I don't watch much horror and none of it is scary, but some are creepy. The Ring was cool.
f) Other (Foreign, Western, etc...) - Tombstone, Jaws,
2. Name three movies that you consider the worst ever made? Metropolitan, Road Rage, Bloodsport 2.
3. Name two movies you would consider as ground breaking or innovative and why? Star Wars simply for its ability to shape movies for its time period and unexpected cult success. There are many more movies that people would say fit in this category but I have either not seen them or disagree, so I'll leave it at one.
4. The top three cult classics? Clash of the Titans, Tron, Monty Python and the Holy Grail
5. MST3K award... Movies so bad they are good (do not confuse with worst ever)? Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Flash Gordon, Mortal Kombat, and really any of the above cults.
6. Miscellaneous. If there is a movie out there that you just need to mention but doesn't fall into the other categories. Die Hard series, Lethal Weapon series, all of Star Wars, Far and Away, the Saint, Deuce Bigalow, virtually every Jackie Chan movie, the One.

You all have horrible taste in movies.
I can't believe no one has suggested great titles such as Dead Alive or Bad Taste.
