What are your Favorite Kind of Movies?

[ArmstrongDetailing]

I just saw The Pursuit of Happyness for the second time and I must say this movie definitely ranks in my top ten. Will Smith did a great job with it as well as his son (who is his son in real life). I highly recommend this movie it will truly make you appreciate what you have.

Another recent movie I thought was excellent was Blood Diamond. You could tell the director wanted to send a message with this one. It exposes some ugly truths about the world of diamonds and life in conflict areas of Africa.

A recent movie that I did not like was Babel. Not because it was a bad story but the way it was done was very annoying and boring to me. I hate movies that leave you feeling miserable at the end.

My favorite kind of movies are the inspirational movies. (Remember the Titans, Miracle, Pursuit of Happyness etc...) I also really like the spy movies like The Bourne Series, Mission Impossibles, Jack Ryan Series and The Recruit etc...

What's your favorite kind of movie?

Where's the option for the films that are well written and have great acting? I don't like to say that I like one type or dislike certain types. I have a small collection of DVD's(somewhere over 500 boxes) and really enjoy evaluating the writing, plots, character development, and the acting.

If it don't make me laugh then it isn't worth paying for

I am a sci fi buff and have been since I saw "The Forbidden Planet" in 1956 or 57. As with all movies some are exceptional and some laughable but I'm
hooked on them.

[Pockets]

Lots of Guns, Fights, and explosions for me

Comedy would be my second

I'll watch most movies excpet horror. Those damn "chick flicks" are no day in the park either.

I am with audiboy. I love great movies. That's what I appreciate most in a movie. Inspiration is good, romance is good (romance, not gratutious sex) , and action (has to be a good story line and good acting...sorry Van Damne and Steven Seguil)...and not too fond of horror

[joe.p]

action movies for me..I like many of the newer releases but the old ones are my favorite

I like the old black/white movies with James Cagney,Bogart & Edwin G Robison..

Depends on what I am in the mood for and if the wife or kids will be watching. With a home theater setup I like to get moveis with lots of sound; gunfire, chases, explosions, etc. Yet also like a good plot and acting. Some of my favorites in no particular order:
Sound of Music
The Outlaw Josey Wales
Thirteen Ghosts
Animal House
The Incredibles

I'm with Steve. I love a good comedy.

[Mr. Clean]

Well, darn I obviously clicked the wrong category...or my vote wasn't cast.

My favorite is, whatelse...Westerns and they just rarely make a good one these days, or at least not enough. Open Range was the last good one I recall seeing.

Also like comedies, though I haven't seen a real memorable one lately, or at least one that I can recall. Anything with Gene Wilder counts, anything with Will Farrell (sp?) doesn't.

Suspense and Mystery are on the good list and I'll have to admit to enjoying the good ol' a&a genre.

oops..can't see the list, so maybe I've missed something.

[Tex Star Detail]

Mystery
Comedy
Horror
ACTION!!!!!!!
