Default AFI 10 top 10

Here is link to the AFI ballot listing 50 films nominated in each category -http://connect.afi.com/site/DocServer/10top10.pdf?docID=381&AddInterest=1781
The categories are:
1. Animation
2. Fantasy
3. Romantic Comedies
4. Sci-fi
5. Western
6. Gangster
7. Sports
8. Courtroom Drama
9. Mystery
10. Epic

Does anyone want to take a stab on which movies will be honored in each category?

The only category I would consider myself enough of an expert on to guess is SciFi. Too lazy to put together a list though.

That said, I'm surprised to see a movie as new as Children of Men in the running.

I do not consider myself an expert on any category, but I always enjoy a little fun and a bit of competitiveness. If anyone wants, there are two contests where we can compete - the correct number for the number 1 in each of the ten and the total number of top tens picked. (Yes, I enjoyed the competition of the market-share of BD vs HD-DVD as well as picking the rankings of the disks).

If anyone else starts off, I will check the number of first place votes that are correct - I will trust all of you to report your number of top ten picks that were right in each category. I have completed my first ten of the ten categorys and will complete the rest within two days. Everyone gets until 11:00 PM on June 16th Pacific Daylight Savings Time to post and/or revise their answers (GMT minus 10 hours if my figures are correct). IOW 7:00 AM GMT on June 17th.

You do not have to be an expert, just someone who cares about movies.
