Like totem said earlier, most films criss-cross through genres, so specific/pure genre films could be hard to find.
Also, if we sit down to choose (for example) 10 of the best musicals but could come up with only 7-8, and had to insert 2-3 average/mediocre ones at the cost of an excellent action or sci-fi film, it would be grave injustice.

So, how do we start?

Let's start by listing our top 20 non-horror films. Non-horror means the film should not be a horror film, nor a murder-mystery, surreal, etc. IMDB serves as an excellent base to distinguish this but even they have some tagged mistakes - Silence of the Lambs, Oldboy, Donnie Darko, heck even Predator is not marked under horror!

So, keeping out the obvious ones, send me your chosen Top 20 Non-horror films via PM, or you can email me at [email protected] as well.

Non-horror genres:

Action/Crime/Thriller,
War/History/Biography,
Drama/Family/Sport,
Fantasy/Adventure,
Mystery/Film-Noir,
Musical,
Comedy,
Romance,
Sci-Fi,
Western,
Animation,
Documentary/Short.

Please don't post your Top 20 in this thread.

If a film is a science fiction, for example, that happens to be a horror movie, like Alien (1979), it cannot be included, correct? Also, Donnie Darko is grouped under horror as well?
