A List of My Favorite Films

I love movies and I love making lists, so I decided that this post would just be dedicated to making a list of my favorite movies. Ten films chosen for each genre, while trying not to overlap with other lists. I hope to review some of these films on here someday, but for now I just thought people may want to know what my favorites are. I hope that people find some new films to add to their watch lists with these films. None of these films are ranked, just in alphabetical order.
