Ok, just got this idea during a conversation earlier, post a genre then the next person has to name their top three movies in that genre, the genre can be as specific as you like . . .

Example:
Genre: Vietnam War movies
Answer:
Platoon
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now

OK so does someone want to think up top 3:
Genre: action movies

Pedant. Either post the titles of the films in their original language or post them in English. It is pedantic to post them in Italian and then give an English translation.

Don't make me come over there and spank you, Evakian.:bike:
