So mine are:
War movies. I don't know what is with war movies especially from 70's and 80's that made them remarkable. I wanted to watch the 70's but lists from blogs, forums, websites, youtube videos keep suggesting these war movies. Maybe its just me, but based on trailers and random clips, all I see is excessive explosion, dead friends, and jungle if not desert. Its like, there is so little allocation for the story. I tried, and I liked Saving Private Ryan, Zero Dark Thirty, The Hurt Locker.
Crime. Not all subgenre of crime though. Gangster movies. This is the reason why I haven't watch Godfather yet. This is how I see most of crime movies; Gun fires/knife stabs in every 2 minutes. Police chasing/car chasing - Bumping everywhere. Little cam shake to put a little tension. Shootouts - 20 shots to kill the protagonist, 1 barely-hit shot to kill extras, main antagonist has the resurrection stone. Protagonist and main antagonist are both criminals. Money. Police. Police accomplice. Crime story is good to watch. Its just dull when overdone, and most of what I remember are dull.
Sports. Particularly boxing, wrestling, ball games. No interest at all. To limited story. Always the same goal.
Western thingy movies. I have only seen one movie of this genre (that I'm aware of). And that single movie happened to be a joke - The Lone Ranger. Dust, guns, indians, trains, and saloon. Oh wait, the movie where Will Smith is riding a spider robot, is it western? That's two.
And Romance. Hire a sexy lady and a hunk actor. Put the word 'love'. Add a third party. Add a classic song. Voila! You have a movie. The laziest way a director can make a movie. (The reason I swore I will never, under any circumstances, watch any movies released/made from my country - Philippines, doing it for 5 years now)
I really want to overcome this barrier. Please give me some insights of how should I see each genre. (except for the last , actually it is not 'least preferred' anymore but already hatred.)
