The Best Genre Films Of The Year

Best genre films but just because it's the better genre film makes it the better film in general. Just meets the genre requirements better.


Best Comedy: Bridesmaids 
Outrageous, over the top, hilarious, toilet humor, P.C jokes, heartfelt, fantastic and unique characters and originality. "It's like the Hangover but with woman and funnier".
Honorable Mentions: Cedar Rapids and Horrible Bosses


Best Action Movie: 13 Assassins 
Anytime you have 13 assassins fight more than 200 makes it a safe bet for best action film of the year. The film has a clear hero and villain you'll truly hate. Kung Fu meeting sword fighting. It's some of the most fun I had this year.
Honorable Mentions: Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol 


Best Horror: Insidious 
This hasn't been a great year in horror but this is probably the scariest. A film that exists in its own world with an imagination of horrifying capabilities. I'll admit there was some chills in my spine and I feel that this is the general feeling.
Honorable Mentions: Don't Be Afraid of the Dark 


Best Sci-fi: Super 8
Action, suspense, aliens, mysterious technology, government secret sand kids in above their heads. Those are all the elements needed to make a classic. Super 8 isn't a classic but damn if isn't a fine film to look back kindly upon.
Honorable Mentions: Source Code


Best Romance: Weekend
In terms of two people coming together and falling in love, fighting and making up this film has it all. Weekend has two convincing leads and in terms of romance is the best of the genre.
Honorable Mentions: Like Crazy and Last Night


Best Super Hero Movie: X-Men: First Class
As time passes more and more do I love this film. I was thinking of putting Captain America here but X-Men really deserved this spot. Two outstanding leads in a story of great magnitude. Where super heroes meet real life. Fassbender and Mcavoy rock it.
honorable mention: Captain America: The First Avenger
