Eli's Hit and Kill list

It has recently come to my attention that most people seem to be swallowed up by mainstream movies; often forgetting classics or neglecting to see good movies because there are just so many more. I have told my friends for years that they should see this movie or that movie but I get the feeling that they forget. So I have decided to make a list (before I forget too) of some of my favorite movies (Hits) and some of the worst I’ve ever seen (Kills).
Please look up the descriptions and ratings of these movies before you watch them. This list is, after all, a matter of opinion. So here are five for each (not top five, just the five that popped into my head).

Hits:
Title – genre
My Cousin Vinny – Comedy
Bourne series – Action and drama. Mostly action.
Scent of a Woman – Coming of Age
Matrix – Action and sci-fi. (Very thought provoking)
The Shawshank Redemption – Drama.

Kills:
Title - Why it was bad
The New World – It was basically the story of Pocahontas turned romance movie. But it had all of four lines total (embellishment but you get the point) in the three hour movie (that’s just an estimate).
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen – Totally unbelievable first of all. I couldn’t follow half of the storyline. We actually turned it off.
Australia – Way too long with way too many different story lines. Every time you think it’s going to end, it starts with something else.
The Day the Earth Stood Still – A bad script plus bad acting. I can’t put up with either, so how could I put up with both?
Knowing – Albino, emo angels and kids that hear voices and constantly scribble down numbers. Creepy.
