Best film for each genre
As the weather is horrible out there, it is the best kind of day for a film day 
The question is, what is the best film for each genre that you have seen? This is all subjective, so I just want to hear your opinion and it doesn't really matter if they overlap genres! I will update this post with my own soon!
Action:
Thriller:
Romance:
Comedy:
Horror:
Adventure:
Fantasy:
Superhero:
If there are any other categories you want to add then go for it, likewise if you only want to answer one or two then feel free!

Agreed!! This is the movie I started being a fan of Christoph Waltz. He's so skilled and very detailed in his acting.
Well lots of movies have several different genres...
Action: Can't remember something strictly action I enjoyed enough to call it best tbh. I'd say The Avengers but then I'd have three superhero films on this list..
Thriller: The Dark Knight (I put this here because, for me, though it's also a superhero film, its suspense and pace are its key attributes)
Romance: 500 Days of Summer
Comedy: Airplane
Horror: The Shining
Adventure: LOTR, Return of the King in particular
Fantasy: The Empire Strikes Back (you can switch this with the above depending on which you think fits better..)
Superhero: The Incredibles
Pretty mainstream list

Really? The rest of your list looks OK, but this is rather a wild-card pick, given the stiff competition in this genre; Saving Private Ryan, Apocalypse Now, Glory, Bridge on River Kwai, Schindler's List, Platoon, and about 200 others

I generally don't like war dramas that much, but this film stood out, so I chose it. Obviously, there could be better ones, but I haven't seen all films of this genre.
