Godfather (Brando, De Niro, Pacino) - never saw those movies... don't care to
Living Actor - depends on my mood
Dead Actor - I don't pay attention to who dies
Comedy Actor - depends on my mood
Robert De Niro Performance - not a big fan, but I guess Taxi Driver?
John Turturro Performance - Barton Fink I guess
Jack Nicholson Performance - Uhh... Shining I guess
Samuel L. Jackson Performance - All these actors are the same in every movie they're in. I guess Pulp Fiction for him. Or Deep Blue Sea where he gets eaten by a shark.
Coen Brothers Film - Blood Simple or Raising Arizona.
Martin Scorsese Film - Meh - not a big fan.
Steven Spielberg Film - meh... Jurassic Park 3
Akira Kurosawa Film - Never seen any
Mike Leigh Film - No idea who this is
John Sayles Film - No idea
Alfred Hitchcock Film - North by Northwest I guess... haven't thought about it since college
Comedy Film - depends on my mood.
War Film - Casualties of War or Full Metal Jacket
Crime Film - what's a crime film?
Thriller - Michael Jackson
Sci Fi Film - nothing really stands out right now
Black and White Film - Patch of Blue
Not really a boring topic, but every question here deserves its own thread (I'm not suggesting you make 20 threads though)...

Wow, that is a lot. Me, I just like the way you spell the word "favourite" -- very cool, very English.
Maybe you should settle on your favorite favorite -- you know, pick just one of these and run with that. I like the Samuel L. Jackson topic (I think Pulp Fiction, but I have a soft spot for his work in Deep Blue Sea -- still one of my all-time movie scenes), and I like the Black and White film topic. (You should clarify this to include only films made in black & white AFTER the advent of color -- otherwise, there's just too much to sift through. And I would go with either Manhattan or Raging Bull.)
Welcome to the forum!
