Best Movies In Each Genre
Over the last year I've watched hundreds of movies I've never seen before, most were good while others were terrible. I know there's imdb available but those scores are inflated with people voting highly just because insert name here was in it or just because it's a foreign film it's high marks.

I was born in 1985, I grew up with a lot of these movies and am just now expanding my horizons. That is part of the reason why I want to have a list on the forum for people like me who haven't been exposed to older movies.
