When I'm browsing for a film, my first choice is always comedy. I like watching light hearted films rather than the ones that makes me cry...There were times though when I feel like crying, by then I choose the dramatic films and watch them with a box of Kleenex beside me...^^ In your opinion, what type of movies would you like to watch? Why is that so?

I like epic adventure movies and action movies. I usually see movies for some escapism, and often times don't want something that will make me think too much. There is something to be said for lots of things that explode and violence. I don't know, I really think stuff like that helps me unwind.

I think it really all comes down to my mood. Sometimes I really want to watch comedy and sometimes I just want to see action or adventure! I do like the epic type movies though like Braveheart, Troy, Kingdom of Heaven, King Arthur, 300 and movies like this. I enjoy the mass battle scenes and movies from these eras I guess.

Indeed, movies that posses the past's sceneries and plot are definitely awesome..^^ I've always been fascinated with the ancient history and the mythologies as well, that's why I like films that are inspired by those^^

Give me a good comedy any day and a box of kleenex for the tears of laughter. I have also seen some that were real good that were not comedy or did not have much humor to them. I also enjoy children's movies sometimes. They say that laughter is the best medicine and I totally agree with that so maybe that is why I tend to turn to the comedies or children's movies.

Hey there...I wish I could say comedy, but it seems like there aren't enough really funny movies out there for me to consider comedy my favorite genre of film...I have seen some pretty hilarious movies before, but I think I've seen many more horror/thriller movies in comparison...Tough decision though

I am always up for a good comedy. They are funny and always put you in a good mood. Now, don't get me wrong, there are a lot of really good "non-comedy" movies out there, but while the good "non-comedy" movies are fun to watch a couple of time, comedies can be watched an infinite amount of times. Comedies like "The Three Stooges" and "Abbott and Costello" movies are classics and have been watched millions of times by people all around the world, which goes to show you that comedies are always a good choice.

I think it does depend on whats going on in life. I enjoy watching tear jerkers, but now if I sit and watched them all the time, well it wouldn't be good. www.jewels-traffic-exchange.a1te.com

I enjoy almost all genres. The two I can't stand are horror and today's romantic comedies.I liked the romantic comedies that were made before 2000.And I have seen two horror films I did like but I usually don't like them . The genre I love is suspense/mystery.Give me a movie where I am kept guessing until the last frame and I am happy.I like dramas too.I don't see that many comedies these days. what I really miss are romance movies. Not romantic comedies, but romance. True there was Titantic but it was romance and adventure. The last romance film I can remember was The English Patient.It would be great if there were more of pure romance films out there.

I definitely like watching movies and when I am trying to find a good movie to watch it is usually a tie between comedy movies because I love to laugh and laughter is the best medicine and can always make you feel better,and action because I love watching movies with fighting or that keep you on the edge of your seat because you never know whats going to happen or how it is going to end.
