I decided to make the categories specific enough that everyone will have something to argue about.

Contemporary Western: Thus Spoke Zarathustra
Modern Western: Leviathan
Ancient Western: Gorgias
Oeuvre: Plato
Non-phil lit: The Catcher in the Rye
Treatise: Vom Krieg or Natural Right and History (depending on how optimistic I feel on a given day)
Religious: KJV Bible (Other translations are arguably better, but this is a point of preference)
Play: King Lear (No Exit deserves an honorable mention though because I like Sartre's writing style, despite his tendancy to navel-gaze)

Film: Apocalypse Now redux
Doc: Restrepo
Honorable mentions: Synecdoche NY, Ran

Album: Plux Quba
Song: 05

I'm of the strange opinion that the original can't be ruined.
Original Star wars wasn't made worse cause of prequels.
Old Testament is still the Old Testament.
2005 King Kong is better than last years.
I don't understand the hatred of going back to old characters in new places. Sure if they're bad they're bad, but the new doesn't degrade the old.
It's like reversed original sin.

Not to mention being one of the best period pieces and the best movie to ever be set in the 18th century. HOW IS IT BORING? It moves from one interesting scene to another, there is no fluff at all, even with its 3 hour running time
