SF- Star Wars ANH

War- Saving Private Ryan

Comedy- There's Something About Mary

Drama- A Few Good Men

Horror- The Exorcist

Basically, I like my action films to have a little bit of humor in them, but mostly limited to what you can call "nervous adrenaline", or "sense of irony" humor- the type that makes it a little more real to the viewer. If there is combat, I want realistic, not stylistic consequences to violent happenings.

I like dramas that have tension and make you think; I usually don't care for the "a random day in the life" type of films.

I don't care for slasher films unless there is a strong plot, I prefer psychological terror with a sense of helplessness, if it's "horror".

Also- not limited to any specific genre:
Clint Eastwood
Bruce Lee
Harrison Ford
hot babe in bathing suit or tight clothes
sword fighting
-if these elements are in a film, I'm likely to watch the film

Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Brazil
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest
Apocalypse Now
Unforgiven

Pulp Fiction
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
No Country For Old Men
Spirited Away
Blade Runner

Star Wars

Lord of The Rings

Shawshank Redemption

Before Sunrise

Garden State
