Your Favorite Movie Genres?
« on: June 24, 2006, 11:59 AM »

The most popular movie genres are:
Action - generally involves a moral interplay between "good" and "bad" played out through violence or physical force
Adventure - involving danger, risk, and/or chance, often with a high degree of fantasy.
Comedy - intended to provoke laughter
Drama - mainly focuses on character development
Fantasy - speculative fiction outside reality (i.e. myth, legend)
Horror - intended to provoke fear in audience
Mystery - the progression from the unknown to the known by discovering and solving a series of clues
Romance - dwelling on the elements of romantic love
Thrillers - intended to provoke excitement and/or nervous tension into audience

(from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_genre)

Which ones do you enjoy watching most?  Which movie genres are the best in your opinion?

it depends on my mood and the occasion. if im with a date, im going for the romance unless she has something else in mind.
i watch action-comedy and comedy alot. helps me relax and loose stress.

the other ones i see them when i feel like an M16 agent. Cool

I absolutely hate horror movies, because they trivialize murder and turn it into entertainment.  I hate movies with bad endings too: there are enough bad endings in real life, so when I'm watching a movie I want a good ending damnit!  If I wanted to see violence or bad endings I would be watching the middle-east drama CNN, not a movie!

i feel u seun. i hate bad endings enough of that is happening in reality, why spoil fantasy. i love comedies but prefar thrillers.
i don't mind horrors but i think action movies are over rated.

 We should not just say because a movie has bad ending and dislike it or that it contend violence and discredit it.  Pretend as if you did not just watch the bad ending and keep up the moral there.  Action pack e.g. NAKED WEAPON

Lord of the ring  i have watched it, but unable to complete it maybe i will try to real watch it,even if it is not my stuff.

Why horror?  If you want horror, why not just watch CNN or murder documentaries?

I like Thrillers, psychothrillers especially the foreign ones. Asia is known for GREAT psychothrillers. They're like horror without the unnecessary gore.

Comedies are cool but I wouldnt go to the theatre for them unless someone else is paying

I mostly like foreign action movies like City of God. The american ones are just cliched rubbish time and time again

I hate Romance Movies. yuck. so irritating and too damn dramatic with the cutsy rubbish  Angry
