Psychological thrillers and whodunits.
@squirbel Oh I love those too. Which are your faves?
@johnpowell: do you like as good as it gets? :D
I like romantic comedies as long as they aren’t repetitive and cheesy :D
@zen The Usual Suspects, Memento, The Prestige, The Illusionist, Snatch
@johnpowell So the proverbial robot shoe-maker goes barefoot?
You had me at blowing up and space
serious answer requirement fulfilled:
OOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Sci-fi, horror, thriller.
Gritty brittish films, anime, weird sci fi, I avoid most Hollywood films
I like post apocolyptic films too, and drug films
I enjoy post apocolyptic films and cheesy horror films.
Horror, especially zombies, hauntings and demonic possession.
@zen- yeah, and dead babbies and spun
And the acid house and fear and loathing in las vegas
Oooh, i love horrors! But not the silly bloody, gory types like Chainsaw Masacre or some nonsense like that. I like things like The Ring, The Grudge, Final Destination, Amityville Horror and the like. Spooky type things mostly.
Comedies are my second favourite – Office Space is one of my favourite movies ever, i think it’s hilarious! :D
Black (as in dark) comedies and science fiction.
@JellyB My s/o likes those and shlepped me to see an M. Night Shabalalooloo (or whatever his name is). I wasn’t impressed. I dislike them, they frighten me, and nothing ever gets blown up.
:-)
@Zen LOL! I’m not sure who or what this M. Night is though…..
@JellyB I think it was the Village or something. One of the horror movies from the genre you described. I was not entertained. I’d rather watch the Young and the Restless.
He also did the movie with Mel Gibson and the crop circles.
@Zen The Village wasn’t half bad…..not as scary as i like, of course, but it was ok! The Y and the R….....? As in the soap?? Oh, say it ain’t so!!
@JellyB Oh, it aint so darling. It really aint so. And I officially joined the I hate M. Fright Ramalamalinglong after The Village.
GOOD romantic comedies an horror!
@Zen Well, i suppose we’re all entitled to our opinions…..i’ll let your comment slide ‘cause we’re friends an’ all. :P
Oops, there goes the tongue again….i can’t help it…..
@JellyB Hell, for you I’d let you pick just to go to the movies with ya.
@Zen :D How ‘bout we make it a dvd night at home, and you have a deal! I have many of the good movies on dvd anyway…. ;)
asian horror movies > american craptastic remakes
@Triiiple I’ve wanted to see the Japanese version of The Grudge! Or was it The Ring…..or both?!
@JellyB
The Grudge = Ju-On
The Ring = Ringu
@JellyB a lot of them are a lot more graphic, but i also find asian horror movies to be more psychological then anything. Suicide Club, Pulse, Visitor Q, Audition, KOMA movies like that are really mind bending.
@Triiiple I’ve not heard of those you mention….but, psychological horrors are good!
I like psychological thrillers to any other kind of film. But I’ll take a good comedy any day, too. Favorites of mine: Gothika, The Sixth Sense, Meet the Fockers
Action, Drama, Comedy, Suspense, Adventure movies
Horror. It’s very rarely done correctly or well, but when it is, it’s the best. I also like anything very psychological.
all kinds of horror
scifi, fantasy, horror , comedy, romance
some anime
@Zen, The Village was a masterpiece of originality, IMHO.
My favorite genre is tragicomedy: such films as: I (heart) Huckabees, Royal Tennenbaums, Rushmore, Sideways..
@Pol_is_aware We shall have to agree to disagree abou the Village. Do you like pistachio Ice Cream?
@zen I haven’t tried it, but I don’t think I would. Cool Ranch Dorritos ice cream sounds better
@Zen I didn’t think so. Everyone has different tastes. :-)
Dark comedies are my favorite.
The Village sucked, it was ripped from a book that i read in like 5th grade. I think he got sued over it.
Dystopian sci-fis and cheerleading movies! Gimme a bring it on, Sugar and Spice or Fired Up for dinner and Dark City or Blade Runner for dessert! Now if only someone were to make a movie set in the future where all disputes were settled by betting on robotic cheerleaders….
