Which type of film / movie do you like? I like Sci Fi the most

Who voted Action?

Dude, weren't you just warned for poll spamming?

comedy. laughing = good.

i enjoy most kinds of movies bar the worst (re: most unrealistically slushy) chic-flics and i really, really cannot stand musicals. musicals are my nemesis.

People are voting, but not commenting. I chose horror. I like the ones that build up suspense, pull me right to the edge of anticipation, then WHAM! Something scares the crap out of me. Ones with really good blood and gore effects are pretty cool also.

I like Sci-fi action comedy horror in a western setting. ;)

Thanks for you votes

This could turn into a proper discussion about cinema (yeah right). But you're quite right. Wildwolfden should have got the message by now.

Or Moulin Rouge?

Except that I didn't. However, since has been promoted from 'mindless spam' to 'generally interested'...

rocky horror scares the shit out of me :eek: (but i guess its ok cos i was dragged into see a play of it one time and it wasn't so bad on stage)
but moulin rouge (and chicago for that matter) make me wanna barf...

*votes* fair enough you are entitled to your opinion

Fantasy......

well they don't have to comment if they don't wanna

I refuse to comment on that.

I refuse to comment on that. LOL :)

That's the kind of horror I don't like. I think it's cheap. I prefer the ones with weird intense athmosphere. And psychological thrillers more than ghost stories. Humans are certainly scary enough for me.

Gore can be very entertaining too.

Westworld?

http://www.lowculture.com/archives/images/westworld.jpg
so coolIt was ok, but not the best.
And I was being facetious of course. There isn't really one type of movie I like. And most movies don't fall into just one type either. I like a bit of everything, even 'bad' movies (like 'mighty morphing power rangers', 'attack of the killer tomatoes', that level of stuff).

Anything that's more interesting than these polls.... :D

Oh, it's the best medicine for hangover. Trust me.

I hate musicals too. I haven't seen Chicago and don't have any plans to change that.

ok cabra....lets lick again :fluffle:

Too true. I chose drama because I think it covers more great films than any other option on the poll.

ok cabra....lets lick again :fluffle:

Now I remember what's missing from that list!

P0RN!!! Yay! ;)

Ahh, but when you're watching a horror movie and waiting for something to scare you, you must be scared! Unfortunately most horror movies that have come out the past several years are crap. I tend to put Thrillers and Horror into two seperate categories.

hmmm, ok, sometimes I do watch horror films to get that reaction. But still my favourites are those films which leave you horrified and uneasy. You just wonder how anyone can have such a sick mind (the scriptwriter or the editor or who ever). And because those films leave me with an uneasy feeling, I don't watch them too often.

What you think about these newish Asian horror movies? And their remakes? Ringu was pretty cool when I saw it the first time (it was the first one of these Asian horror films I've seen). The athmosphere was much better than in the remake. Anyway after seeing maybe 5 asian horrors I realised they are all the same. What about Saw? I liked it.

I think it's quite often hard to say if a film is a horror or a thriller. Or just drama. Have you seen Das Kabinet des Dr Caligari? Brilliant :D

thank you all for your votes and comments :)

I tried to watch Ju On (sp?), the original movie for The Grudge and it seemed even more cheesy than the remake. Saw was pretty good. I have yet to see the second one. I haven't seen Das Kabinet des Dr. Calligari -haven't even heard of it. What's it about?

Well, I saw Ju On first in a theatre and I thought it was alright. I hated the vampyre slayer and her must-be-in-a-hollywood-film boyfriend in Grudge. They had also explained few things way too underlining in the remake (have to admit, the plot in the original is not the easiest one to follow).
I just saw saw 2 few days ago. A bit disappointed. Worth watching anyway.

No wonder you haven't seen Cabinet of Dr Caligari. It's an old classic (very old, 1920) It's very different from anything you've seen before and rather amusing. But it's certainly not scary.

Any more for any more?

I think japanese films are hilarious, especially badly dubbed ones. What isnt funny about watching people run up walls and have swordfights in mid-air for twenty minutes without falling?

I think you don't know too much about films. Entitled to your opinion nevertheless

but the songs in Grease are so coooool! :p

chic-flics rock too...... Okay, so technically they suck. But, if you just ignore the many many flaws and can pass beyond the bitter feeling of damn-those happy-people! then it's all good *nods*

In all seriousness, I like comedies, some action, thrillers, decent horrors, and really well done relationshippy films.

I quite like Historical movies

I quite like Historical movies me too

lol ok grease can be an exception :P
i like musicals just fine on stage/theatre, but on film they just annoy the crap out of me. bah

and chic-flics are generally ok but i have seen some that made me want to curl up into a ball and eat gnaw myself to death. i haven't really watched many, but in my experience often they're quite nice and worth watching if done well/not OTT *nods*
*ponders cuddling up with you to watch movies... nice ponderings :-)*

My excuse is that I have sentimental reasons for liking music in Grease *nods* I have memories of parties with my best friends, singing along and dancing and everything. It's the single one thing I miss about my old house - the front room where I have all these memories of fantastic parties.
It's my excuse for liking half the rubbish music I do :p

You get those in every genre of film though. Bad ones in a genre are bad. Good ones in a genre are good. Logical really ;) :p
:-) *approves of ponderings* *ponders similar scenario* *changes type of pondering and ponders getting distracted from the movie* hehehe :P

you don't need to say sorry if you like Grease you like it, I like it too
Heh, I'm only joking really :p
edit: now you have to figure out if I'm joking about liking Grease, or joking about my excuse, or joking about needing an excuse.... *likes confusing people* :D

poll is interesting seems that Other is winning

Heh, I'm only joking really :p

'serious face' :p

I voted drama but I like all kinds of films. You should have thrown suspense in there. As long as the films are of good quality production I usually like them. I hate time travel movies though. I love going to the movies. I write my own reviews and send them out to all my buds who send them out to their buds, and so on and so on.

I like most types of Movies. I am a huge Action, War, Drama, Sci-Fi and Fantasy Fan. Although most movies I like are mixtures of those types. My favorite are Star Wars, James Bond, LOTR, and others.

Edit: I can't stand the Horror Genre they are quite possibly some of the worst movies ever created. Just plain stupidity.

Action, War, Drama, Sci-Fi and Fantasy would be my faves of all I also like Star Wars, James Bond and LOTRs. I only like Vampire and Werewolf horror

You know what's good. I still hate horror movies though, BTW Return of the Living Dead was so bad it was funny.

yes most horror sucks

Eh? Saw was crap, as a horror film at least. Though with the acting, the storyline, and lines like 'Some of the cuts were so deep there's stomach acid on the floor' it could be classed as a comedy. Saw 2 isn't much better. Predictable, slow, contrived, badly acted, left wide open for another sequel.
Comedy's the best. Monty Python, Mel Brooks, Marx brothers, could go on and on and on. Although comedy isn't as good as it used to be.

I only liked Saw for the screwed up situations the victims had to try and get themselves out of and I don't mean the idiots who couldn't tell the "corpse" wasn't a corpse.

I really like all movie genres, but since I had to pick my favorite I chose horror. Blame it on the sadist in me.

Comedy seems to be winning sorry I spelt it wrong on poll

Help is the a way of editing polls?

Comedy is definitely my favourite.

Horror

lots of B horror like Toxic Avenger, Terror FIrmer, Basket Case, etc.


good times.
