    Default Favorie kinds of movies.

    What are your favorie kinds of movies, horror, action, drama, western, different thing. I like checking out different types of movies so give some examples of your favorites with a breif description.

    One of my favorites and one I'm watching now is Death Sentence.

    The family man and senior vice-president of the insurance company Starship Capital Nick Hume lives a comfortable life with his wife Helen and his sons Brendan and Lucas. While driving back home with his son Brendan after a game of hockey, Nick stops his car in a gas station in a dangerous neighborhood and he witnesses his son being murdered by the punk Joe Darley in the convenience store. When the prosecutor tells the grieving Nick that Joe would get a maximum of three years in prison, Nick tells the judge in court that he has not recognized Joe as the killer of his son. In the night, Nick goes to Joe's place and stabs him to death. When Joe's brother Billy is informed about the death of Joe, he summons his gang in a war against Nick with tragic consequences.

    What are some of your favorites?

    EDIT: Just as a caution Death Sentence has alot of violence and alot of cursing so if you don't like that do not watch.

    Comedies are one of my favorite. A good example of a funny movie is Hangover. That is hilarious from start to finish. Horror is right up there too. I like true horror, not gore. A good example was: Paranormal Activity, Susperia, Session 9, The Gift, Night Watch, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and the Exorcist IMO. There are a whole much more that I cannot think of at this moment.

    I havn't gotten to see the hangover yet, do want to though, looks funny. I have a little obsession with horror movies I like the classics not like some of the stupid ones that are coming out now, like Trick 'r treat (one of the stupidest horror flicks ever) I like classics, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on elm street. Half of my movie collection is horror

    i guess you cold use 'artsy', 'odd', 'non mainstream' to describe the stuff i usually like. but sometimes i like regular stuff too.
    when i posted in the movie thread my choices were flirt (hal hartley) and even dwarves started small (werner herzog), they proved to be hard to guess.

    well i just edited my post above, but i can probably name hundreds of favorites. my favorite comedy is probably 'the big lebowski', i also enjoyed very much 'viky, cristina barcelona'. actionwise probably 'pulp fiction'.
    then comes stuff like 'the color of pomegranates', 'werckmeister harmonies', 'damnation', 'el topo', 'black moon', 'the cremaster cycle', almost anything goddard, almodovar, bunuel, rohmer, bergman, antonioni, half of the cohen brothers movies... in other words not the usual fare...
