What is your favorite movie genre?

Tools    





Do you know my poetry?
Come on everybody has to have a favorite genre, one specific genre that you really love. My favorite genre has to be Sci-Fi, its the most underated genre, they rarely get nominated for 'Best Picture'.



Mine's the Indiana Jones type adventure movies.

My top 5 would probably be...

Noir, Mystery, Hitchcockian Thrillers, Shakespeare, Western

(Maybe not in that order though)

War

It was beauty killed the beast.
Noir is a style not a genre. It's like cinéma verité.

Kong will stop being picky now.

Kong can't pick a favorite genre.

No Kong, while I believe you are correct in a purist sense, I will note that Noir can definitely be a genre. To avoid any controversy (and because I’m very tired), however, I'll specify that my favorite genre is Detective Noir.



Noir and Westerns

I am having a nervous breakdance
Though I don't really think I have a favourite genre, a lot of my favourite films tend to belong to the war genre.

I think a lot of the existential questions that especially men are concerned with are being dealt with in war movies. The war genre is well suited for issues like manhood and masculinity as well as how to deal with stuff like fear (and not showing fear), friendship, duty, guilt, your relationship with authorities and feelings and emotions in general.

War movies are often about what is expected of you as a man, things that you don't have to fight a war in a literal sense to be interested in.

Yikes, am I having problems??

They had temporarily escaped the factories, the warehouses, the slaughterhouses, the car washes - they'd be back in captivity the next day but
now they were out - they were wild with freedom. They weren't thinking about the slavery of poverty. Or the slavery of welfare and food stamps. The rest of us would be all right until the poor learned how to make atom bombs in their basements.



I'll Just give you a list 5=lowest, 1=highest

5.Romantic Comedy

4.War

3.Horror

2.Thriller/Suspense

1.Drama

Not just drama, films like One Flew over the Cookoo's Nest, Dances w/ Wolves or Braveheart. Those kind fo drama movies.

Horror, Kung Fu(not really a genre but you get the idea), Noir, Suspense, and Comedy.



Comedy



Only for the weak
Crime drama and noir, both are often related but not always.
