I can finally watch PG-13 movies

Got another PG-13 movie from the library called The Lucky One with Zac Efron. My mom got Lincoln for both of us to watch since I am studying The Civil War. Hope I like these two films.

Lincoln is an EXCELLENT film! Hope ya like it!

Arcanis' 100 Favorite Films: 2015 Edition

Thanx Arcanis for the list. I think I am going to get the Lord of the Rings trilogy out the next time I am at the library.

LOTR is a great choice.

Oh, Lord. Those movies are long. Hope your library offers plenty of renewals.

They are long, but I think she'll be just fine.

You know what's weird? My library doesn't offer DVDs like that. Sure, they have some educational ones and kiddie stuff, but nothing really good.

I used to live near libraries that had pretty decent DVD collections. The one closest to me now doesn't really have a decent collection... although I did see several Star Trek movies through that library a couple of years ago.

They're also incredible boring. I hope she has a much longer attention span than I do.

Golem/Smeagol + "My precious!" + Walking, talking trees + "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!" + Orlando Bloom =

LOTR are boy's movies that's part of the reason why you don't like them.

The thing that I loved the most about these movies were the big epic battles with tens of thousands of orcs and the dramatic tension of the situation the main characters were found in. It was the first time that through the use of CGI it became possible to create massive battles in film with tens of thousands of soldiers clashing against one another.

No, they're not.

There's no such thing as "boy's movies" and "girl's movies." There are just movies.

Not true at all. Two of my female flat mates absolutely love LOTR for a start, don't get this boy/girl thing.

i just hope watching zac efron movies doesn't turn soul surfer off of the whole concept of pg-13 movies forever.

Strictly speaking, there isn't.

However, different demographic groups have different tastes that vary in predictable ways on average (i.e. among groups of millions). Therefore it makes sense to produce movies aimed to satisfy these distinct preferences and hence the existence of boy's movies (like LOTR), children's movies (Lion King) and adult movies (The Godfather), woman's movies (Only Yesterday), etc.

Overall, we can say that there are 5 main demographics for movies (and TV and literature):

1 - Children
2 - Boys (age 10-18)
3 - Girls (age 10-18)
4 - Men
5 - Woman

Some movies may target all these five groups simultaneously (Miyazaki's Totoro or Spielberg's E.T.) while others may target only one (superhero films are boys movies to the core).

Nobody said that girls cannot like boy's movies.

My top 5 PG-13 movies, the only 5 movies rated PG-13 in my top 100:

1 - Princess Mononoke (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119698/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

2 - LOTR (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119698/?ref_=nv_sr_1, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167260/?ref_=tt_rec_tt, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/?ref_=tt_rec_tt)

3 - Gattaca (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119177/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

4 - A.I. Artificial Intelligence (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212720/?ref_=nv_sr_1)

5 - Once Upon a Time in the West (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064116/?ref_=nv_sr_3)

You're right. Stop right there. There are just movies.

Period. Full stop.

Of course one can always enjoy movies made for a different demographic than the target demographic, they should mean little for a serious film viewer.

You seriously need to meet more women, Guap. Super hero movies are for boys, my behind. Seriously, what am I some sort of defective woman or a woman that really wants to be a boy? I'm neither of those things. Your brain may want to label everything and put it in a box, but I ain't gonna jump in your box and watch freakin Only Yesterday. Geesh.

Wise decision. That movie was awful.
