Top 10 of 10 Movie Genres

Well to bring closure to this classic/epic movie kick I've been on, I had the idea to post a list regarding my favorites. The first intention was to simply rank my favorite epic movies, but then I decided to broaden the list to other genres as well. I will still be posting my top 10 favorite epic movies, but want to also share my favorites in other genres. The format of this post is based off of AFI's (American Film Institute) 10 top 10 list released in 2008 (see AFI's 10 top 10). I've often considered the AFI as the golden standard for film critique and enjoy many of their movie rankings.

The only difference from my list here is I will not include the genres of courtroom drama, romantic comedy, mystery, and western. Instead I will replace these genres with drama, comedy, musical, and romance. (Sorry I'm just not a fan of mystery, western, and especially horror movies). So the 10 genres that I will rank will be animation, epic, drama, fantasy, crime, comedy, science fiction, musicals, sports, and romance. I often notice that many films overlap genres so I'll do my best to categorize each one. Also let me emphasize that this is NOT my top 100 list, only my favorite movies in their respected genres.
