Overall Favourite Film : Empire Strikes back or Big Lebowski

Action: The Matrix
Horror: The Ring (Japanese original) just pips The Exorcist
Sci Fi: Babylon 5 - In The Beginning

If I may, I would like to add another catergory.

Best TV film.

Winner, with no real challengers:

Goodnight Mr Tom.

A fantastic film, gentle pace, but with some of the best acting I have ever seen. Emotional all the way through, without being soppy.

Sorry, but no other made for TV film will ever come close to this.

Action: GoodFellas

Horror: The Exterminating Angel (not strictly horror, but most that label themselves such are anything but... this film gets under your skin...)

Comedy: Shaun of the Dead

Overall: A Scanner Darkly

Action: Pulp Fiction (not really action), Casino Royale

Horror: The Shinning, The Exorcist

Comedy: Some Like It Hot

Overall: Taxi Driver, Seventh Seal, American Beauty

Action: Raiders of the Lost Arc

Horror: Doctor Terror's House of Horrors (Hammer)

Comedy: Ghostbusters

Overall: Ghostbusters, Big Lebowski, Lord of the Rings Trilogy
