Kurosawa, Hitchcock and Kubrick? I wanted to put Orson Welles or Polanski in place of Hitchcock but I haven't seen most of their stuff.

Alright Spoony, pick the next category.

 

[Spoony]

drama/romance

 

[cinc]

Well, if it's allowed it'd top mine too.

It is definitely about the journey and the changes it brings out from those involved.

 

[mehro]

Drama's too wide a category. We'll end up with Godfather and stuff as usual. Let's stick to Romance.

 

[Spoony]

Godfather's hardly drama/romance.

More like crime/drama

 

[cinc]
