[Movies] MMO-Champion Top Movie Awards (Nominations)

[Markluzz]

In this competition you will be nominating and then voting for your favorite/your consideration of best movie for the genre, and the ones with the most votes wins. Right now is nominations where you will nominate your top 5-10 movies for each of the genres/categories listed, the 5 movies with the most nominations for each genre will go to the voting round (if say 5th and 6th are tied then both will be able to be voted for).

Your rule for nomination: You may only nominate movies that have been released as of today. Be sure to nominate 5-10 movies for each category. If you have a movie that doesn't seem to fit in any of the categories fit it in the one that would classify it the best, if you still aren't sure, it is probably a drama.

Moved to Cinema/TV/Music/Books. I'll add my favourites later.

It is unlikely that most of them could be considered the 'best' in their respective genres, but they are the films I enjoy most, for whatever reason. A lot more goes into how our tastes form than the artistic vision of film-makers and producers' budgets.
