Favorite kind of movie?
 

It's simple, what is your favorite genre of movie? Feel free to comment and say why it is your favorite or why you don't like a specific kind of movie.

If you like a genre I didn't mention feel free to comment as well. Ten was the most poll options I could have!

Have fun (:

I love Sci-fy movies like Star Wars and Star Trek for examples!!!!

I been hooked on Horror Movies since I was four years old. :cool:

Movie-wise, nothing beats relaxing with some good comedy if you ask me. Although Star Wars nearly made me choose Sci-Fi instead. If only there was a separate category called "movies with lightsabers in them" :p

I had a hard time between comedy and sci-fi as well! (Although not because of Star Wars) but I chose comedy (:

NOT because of Star Wars? I was wondering if I should have been more chivalrous towards you in the orgasm control bet, but now I'm glad I voted for you to lose :P

Out of these, I'd say non-fiction. Also, out of these, sport movies suck, I'm yet to see a single sport movie that doesn't.

Okay you got me wrong, I LIKE the Star Wars movies but I lean more towards the fantasy side of the sci-Fi/fantasy option. I like both but I like movies with magic and wizards *cough* Harry Potter *cough* haha

Very tough choice needed to be able to pick more then 1. I had to go with action the most because who doesnt love explosions and constantly wondering what are they going to do next. Sci-fi or even comedy are good as well. Who didnt want to be a jedi/sith and swing around a lightsabre or have magical powers?

I love sci-fi/fantasy and comedy.

I haven't, I'll check it out.

btw I have remembered a good sport movie since I posted it: Coach Carter. But the basic idea still stands: most of the sport movies are shit.

Haha, in that case, i withdraw my pretended offense ;)

Basic drama. Good Will Hunting, Rudy, Stand by Me, Forest Gump, etc... excellent movies, not quite fitting of most of your categories.

It depends on how you classify sports movie... movies with sports as a major theme that are great in my opinion include:
Comedy:
The Sandlot
Major League
Caddyshack
Slapshot

Drama:
Most of the Rocky series
Rudy
Remember the Titans
Hoosiers

Not great, but not terrible in my opinion:
Bull Durham
A League of their Own
Field of Dreams
Bad News Bears
Secretariat
Seabiscuit
The Mighty Ducks
Happy Gilmore
White Men Can't Jump

Ayy, how did I forget drama?! *smacks self in forehead*

Anyway I'm the same exact way with scary movies! Count me out!

Pacific rim was the shit !

the conjuring..not so much :cool:

wait.. would Wolverine be action? or sci / fi?? crap, i voted action, but i thnk i meant sci fi

I love romantic comedies.

Romances themselves tend to be boring. And straight comedies often run the risk of being completely stupid without a good plot.

I love the comedy of watching two people, often seemingly unlikely partners, slowly fall in love, while laughing along with it.


I like several of the genres, (though I tend to hate horror films because they are often predictable to me), but romantic comedies for the win!

Though my #1 favorite movie of all time is an excellent drama, The Shawshank Redemption, but my #2 film kind of matches my favorite Genre with Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

I like sci-fi, action and horror ... but have voted for sci-fi since it's the genre i like most.

And personally, i'd prefer a tv series than a movie sometimes. I like the fact that you get to know the characters better and see them evolving when you really get into a story (apart from never wanting the story to end if it's not stretched).

I'm particularly fond of JJ Abrams.

Some of my favourites (in my case tv series):
Lost
The 4400
Heroes
Fringe
Alcatraz
Revolution

My favorite wasn't exactly 'on' the list. I really like thrillers/suspense films. I'm also a big fan of experimental/art films. To be honest though, I love stupid comedies, sci-fi, some horror. And I'm obsessed with B-movies, movies so bad that they're good.

This is not a simple question at all. It depends on what mood one is in. I love documentaries and gritty dramas, but I don't always want to deal with real life. Horror movies are great fun - I have loved them since a very young age. And, of course, who doesn't love a good comedy? Not an easy choice at all. Also, I should add, if there were a choice for quirky independent that would probably be a favorite.

It was a nice thread, though. :)

Yes... I love movies that are so bad they are good! :D

Please tell me your not one of those people that keep watching a horrible movie saying it has to get better, I mean it cant be any worse. My dad is the worst at that, he will seriously watch a dud all the way through and his excuse is always well I thought it would get better.

haha! Nooo! I like movies that are so bad they are funny. like...hmmmm... the incredible melting man or evil dead 2 or reanimator. yeah, I guess mostly bad horror movies. haha!

Comedy, my two favourites are American Reunion and The Inbetweeners

Sci-Fi wins my vote for having Star Trek
 

There wasn't an "Everything but Horror" option so I went with Sci-Fi because Star Trek is best Sci-Fi movie/tv show ever made. Hmm, although there was that animation shorts of the Clone Wars and I did really enjoy those. Ehh, I watch Star Trek more so that's the tie-breaker. :cool:
