I LOVE horror movies. There is nothing better than the feeling of being so scared you dont even realize your tensed up.

My least favorite is probly comedy. I mean sure Ill watch one but idk, my friends ALWAYS seem to want to watch comedy and Im just not really into it.

Probably art house movies, but I enjoy some comedy in there.

My view is similar to Letram's below. I like pretty much everything. The better written and performed, the better.

I don't have any issue with romantic comedies, or regular comedies. I will admit that lately they do seem formulaic, but that won't always be the case.

Looking forward to HANNA this weekend.

I hate chick flicks! The ones that are supose to be funny! But they arn't! Yes leagally blonde was a good movie...but it's always on TV and to me not worth watching over and over, now I hate it. And other movies like that...like house bunny. Anna Farris is so funny, but that movie was stupid....(when a chick flick is on I'm thinking about the plot and charactors and how I don't give a sh!t about any of it and how un amused I am. lol)Sorry I'm just not into chick flick comedy humor I guess. I know guys that like chick flicks more than I do.
Even though I'm a girl...I guess I like more raunchy humorus movies.

When a psychological thriller is well thought through, I tend to like it too, but lately most under that genre have become too mainstream...

What I like least is easier: rom coms. I detest them, they are way too sappy and unrealistic. I also don't like movies where thinking is unnecessary. And dramas. I've enough drama in my life, I sure as hell don't need to watch someone else's.

as iv grown into films more passioantely, i'v learned that i don't necessarily have a favorite genre, i have a high admiration and joy for well written scripts in films, with unique and fascinating events or dramatic plot twists and turns, great acting, and just pure film greatness.

i have alot of favorite films that range from many genres. i admire creativity and all of the same above things in all different mediums.

the first films that got me fascinated with films and stories were :

A nightmare on Elm Street

The Terminator/ Terminator 2 Judgement Day

and most of all ALIEN/ALIENS.

i grew into crime films too for drama entertainment.

the james cameron films above are still some of my very favorites today, the nightmare on elm street is just a childhood joy, as is crime films like scarface, but as iv grown up now and been exposed to more great films, i see them with more critical eyes
and ears since i can compare them to new great films iv seen.

i HATE, yes hate, romance, chick flick kind of stuff, and i hate (not as bad of hate as the romance stuff) comedies....not the biggest fan of them, have not seen Superbad or Pineapple Express (is that supposed to be one of those funnies?) or Knocked Up...its just hard to pay attention to them with no adrenaline rush, with nothing to keep me on the edge of my seat

Horror is my most disliked/least watched.

posted April 08, 2011 01:24 PM            

Some of these are a little mainstream, but some are just way out there. Hehe

Korean: (all have subtitles online)
Hello, Schoolgirl - 18 year old girl meets 30 year old man. haha 19 is the age of adulthood in Korea. Sweet.

Eraser in my Head - rich girl with sordid past falls in love with a construction worker. WARNING: tears. many tears.

3-Iron - like maybe two lines of dialogue in the whole thing. lol Weird, but amazing if you can sit through it.

The Classic - sweet love story during Vietnam. a few tears.

The Chaser - If you love horror, you MUST see this. I NEVER get scared, this freaked the **** out of me and it's based on a REAL story in Korea. Just plain crazy. Some prostitutes go missing and her pimp chases them down (not what you think). WARNING: violence, terror, etc. Major.

Chinese:
Everything by War Kai Wong - melancholy, passionate, sensual, longing, beautiful.

The Road Home - the best love story EVER! Seriously.

Farewell, My Concubine - so I'm like half or more than that in love with Leslie Cheung. This is melodramatic - but in a way that mirrors the opera that it's about. The melodrama has a purpose. This is one of my favorite movies ever because it's so complex and intense. Very Pluto-ish in my opinion. With a dash of Neptune! Backdrop against the Chinese nationalist and communist war and the Cultural Revolution. WARNING: a scene of molestation between a 100 year old looking dude and like a 10 year, but very brief. Don't let this turn you off. Also "homosexual" sex scenes. Again, if you watch it, it's not quite what it seems.

Japanese:
Hayao Miyazaki's:
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
Princess Mononoke

these speak for themselves, I think.

Other:
Departures - guy who buries dead people. Family relationships, etc. Good!

Kikujiro - a little boy and an old man go to find mommy, very sweet!

Nobody Knows - true story about a family abandoned by the mom when she remarries. WARNING: tears. lots.

British (or British/English/etc):
Moulin Rouge - yeah, I'm sure you know it.

Love Actually - Fun!

A Single Man - A man contemplates suicide over a period of a day.

Pride and Prejudice - Come on, what girl doesn't love this story?

Emma - Again.

The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas - Shows how sick some people can be. And also how lovely they can be. WARNING: tears.

Misc. Foreign
Paradise Now - story about Palestinian suicide bombers. Good, intense.

Pan's Labyrinth - Childhood and innocence put to the test. I love this movie. Makes me cry every time I see it, and also makes me smile.

American:
Letters from Iwo Jima - Shows a different side of the war.

Blood Diamond - About trafficking of diamonds and family.

Up in the Air - just beautiful in a subtle way.

Empire of the Sun - Kind of a movie about growing up.

I saw Ponyo the other day on netflix.this is his best animation as of yet.Not my favorite story from him though.

I LOVE classic movies from the 30's 40's 50's.Jimmy stewart is kinda one of my crushes.I love him in the shop around the corner,its a wonderful life,and bell book and candle.Old classic cinema is my favorite genre hands down! I watch TCM all day long.
Also like cheesy 80's horror.

Least fave would be
Modern comedies of today,and modern romance.hate chick flicks too.

Like the Notebook...BORING! My cousin on the other hand...LOVES IT! (shes a Taurus Sun, and Leo Moon) Even reads the book.
With that movie I couldn't even try to watch it...I was figiting with something the whole time and not even paying attention. (I'm a Gemini rising, heehee)

And I'm so sick of hearing about Twilight. I saw the first one, it was good. But Vampires that play baseball in thumderstorms? And sparkles in the sun?...That is just...whats the PC word I'm looking for?.....STUPID.

Arthouse films, indie films, films with good cinematography and direction. Brilliant use of angles and tones, but of course an intelligent plot has to be present.

I DO like comedies, but I'd pick a good thriller over it anyday.

I'm an Aries Rising
Virgo sun
Libra moon, venus and mercury
Pluto in eighth house (scorpy)

I've seen a single man and Tom Ford is absolutely talented as heck! First time directing and he brought forth such depth. Just love it.

Donnie Darko was a great film. Gotta watch it a few times to really understand it well.
