July 1, 200618 yr Damn, too many choices...I prefer dramas and comedies (also romantic ones), but I don't mind a good action movie, either.Requiem For A Dream, Terminator 2, A Beautiful Mind, Lost in Translation, Romeo & Juliet, Pulp Fiction, Taxi Driver, Girl With a Pearl Earring, Equilibrium, Forrest Gump, etc...
July 15, 200618 yr I choose horror :| I love horror movies :| My life is a horror movie :| horror, horror, and more horror :| me too a lot of my movies are horror. I don't really have any movies that aren't.
July 25, 200618 yr Author another good variable for this is, how much of your favorite do you get?there were approximately zero good superhero movies between Batman and X-Men. and not many between Batman and Superman. now, thankfully, they're churning them out.and good sci-fi? almost never happens.
July 25, 200618 yr I have to agree. But if you delve into the past, you can find several quality movies for all of those genres. I maybe see 3-4 movies a year that I would describe as true quality (I'm talking about new releases) and of those 1 and if I'm very lucky maybe 2 will be so impressive they might leave a lasting impression for a few days or weeks. But I see lots of quality movies. The myth that Hollywood was better in the past is a bit overused. There is some truth to it, but it also has a little something to do with the fact that the only movies that have survived in the common conscience of humanity are the quality ones.
July 25, 200618 yr Author that per se is subjective, when really shitty movies that bomb at the box office, like Blade Runner, somehow turn into all-time greats that will live on forever. and no, you can't find that many good superhero movies
July 25, 200618 yr The first two Batman's were pretty good. But I know not everyone likes what Burton did with the material. I think most of his casting choices were spot on. But other than that, I'm having a bit of trouble thinking of other older superhero movies that were quality. I guess you have a point there.
July 25, 200618 yr Author trust me on this one. it was a dead genre for the longest time. Superman almost changed things, but Marvel just didn't have clout back then. their tv-movies like Spiderman, Captain America and others were just shlocky trash. it wasn't until Avi Arad came around that things really changed, and hero movies became worth putting effort into. before, they were just considered niche market for the video rental crowd.
August 5, 200618 yr and good sci-fi? almost never happens. That might be part of why I selected it...'cause when I see a good sci-fi, it's the BEST! I love to see original, well told stories with character development and good dialogue and action, but there have only been a few. Think what you will about Vin Diesel, but Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick are the most recent good sci-fi*. I like most all genres at some point. Have to be in the right mood. *I have yet to see Serenity (nor the related Firefly series which I hear is great).
February 8, 201015 yr Other -> Stoner Humor Horror too but humor mostly can I change my vote to Classic Japanese
February 9, 201015 yr I like thrillers like Untraceable with Diane Lane. Just saw it tonight and it was quite good. Other than that I like Roman Polanski films like Chinatown (my fave) and Rosemary's Baby. Another genre I like is drama. My all time favorite film is The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke.
