AFI's Bestest Films Ever By Genre

The American Film Institute's been listing films again. This time they've done it as the top films by genre, instead of just saying Citizen Kane's the man and being done with it. They've set up a site showing the films they've picked and there's some good, if obvious ones. Obviously since it's the American Film Institute they ignore smelly foreign films, with their weird languages, existentialism and deeply dull plots, but they also have missed a number of genres that should have been considered instead of Courtroom Dramas. Surely they should just come under "drama", courtroom or not.

Anyway here are some genres they should have included:

Best films with messy head explosions

Best films that were live action versions of cartoons that themselves were extended adverts for a range of toys

Best Patriotic Bullshit

Best Coen Brothers (they're a genre unto themselves)

Best Films With Really Long Names

Best Twee "Indie" Crossover Hits That Cause Almighty Backlashes

Best Films Starring Kevin Bacon

Best Foreign Films (because they're all funded by American studios anyway)

Best Films With Great DVD Commentaries So You Get Double The Entertainment For Your Money

Best Unlikely Oscar Winners

Best Roger Corman Films (there surely has to be ten good ones...)

Best Films Made Entirely By Texan Manure Salesmen With No Talent

I could do more but I have to go eat a biscuit. And before you whine "but they aren't genres", genre is very complex film theory. So if I decide that these are, then prove me wrong!
