I'm in the process of renovating our basement for use as a home theater, and I have space to put up eight distinct movie posters. I plan on commissioning posters through an artist that I like so that they will all have a shared art style and appearance, so the look of the official movie poster doesn't matter to me. What I'm trying to do is select eight of the most iconic films of all time, across these genres:

Action/Adventure
Comedy
Drama
CGI/3D Animation
2D Animation
Science Fiction
Mystery/Thriller (Not horror)
Fantasy

So, if you were to pick out a set like this, which would you choose?

I know this isn't what you want to hear, so just tell me to shut up if you want. But, this feels a little performative. You must know and like movies in all of those catagories. Why not pick your favorites and go with those? I expect you'll enjoy the end result more than 'classics' with no specific meaning to you.

....why not something like NASA's space tourism set? https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galleries/visions-of-the-future
