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?

Limiting it to one film per category is tricky, especially since some of them are so broad, and "animation" isn't even a genre but a medium. I'm going to try to choose films that represent a turning point in their respective category, after which films of that type were forever changed in some way. These may be the "iconic/obvious" options, but they're also films that just about any movie lover ought to be proud to honor on their wall.

  • Action/Adventure: Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • Comedy: Spinal Tap
  • Drama: Citizen Kane
  • CGI/3D Animation: Toy Story
  • 2D Animation: Spirited Away
  • Science Fiction: 2001: A Space Odyssey
  • Mystery/Thriller: Rear Window
  • Fantasy: The Fellowship of the Ring
