Genres---------------------------------
I'll just fill it in for films for the most part.
Just want to say first that I'll watch any film if it's good, regardless of what genre it's in.
-Comedy
This is a genre with loads of bad films and only a handful of good ones. Still, I check out a comedy every now and again.
-Drama
I guess most of the films I watch can be categorized as drama. It's about as broad as the rock genre in music.
-Romance
I'm not that interested in these kind of films. Especially the romantic comedy genre is incredibly lame.
-Documentary
I haven't watched many documentaries.
-Fiction
-Non-Fiction
These two contain like everything ever made, don't they? I'll just say I don't care all that much whether something is (based on) a true story or not.
-Western
Contains a lot of good films.
-Scifi
I don't watch that much scifi, but I don't dislike the genre either.
-Classic Fantasy
You mean like... Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings?
Interesting when there's creativity and effort put into them.
-Action
I like an action film every now and again. Even the bad ones are sometimes enjoyable to watch.
-Mystery
I do like films that have an element of mystery to them, but only if they work it out well. I don't like it when they leave you too much in the dark or go explaining every single detail at the end.
-Apocalyptic (like doomsday movies)
-Post-Apocalyptic
Sometimes interesting.
-Sports
Not a genre that has produced brilliant pictures as far as I know. I've seen a few decent ones, but I can't remember seeing anything in the sports genre that was truly ground breaking.
-Historic
How much I'm interested in them depends a little on what they're about I guess.
-Family
I usually avoid them at the theatre, but some have a lovely nostalgic feel to them like Home Alone and E.T.
-Cartoon (classic or newage)
-Animated
I like animation, although it is a genre where they rehash the same thematics and storyline structure a lot.
-Indie
I don't particularly care for indie films. Sometimes they have original ideas to them, but sometimes they fail to really make it work. So heh...
-Foreign
I don't really consider that a genre, but I do watch plenty of foreign (language) films.
-War
There are lots of good war films, but I feel like a lot of them are quite similar.
