Hoa (Vietnam): I love comedy
because, you know, whenever1
you watch a movie you want to have
fun2 and you want to relax so comedies, most of the time3, they always they bring us laughter4 and they
bring the joy5 for
you, so I like it. For the genre6
of movie that I don't like is horror movies because there is a lot of blood and
there is a lot of killing7
and there is a lot of like devils8
in the movies and I just don't like that.
Jeff (Canada): A movie genre
that I love is documentary style. I don't like wasting9 my time in these crazy Hollywood movies.
I like to learn a little bit10
and extend my knowledge11.
I find12 that
documentary style does this. The genre that I hate13 is probably romantic comedy. I'm already married14,
I don't have to go dating15
so I don't have to see these movies.Thank goodness!16
Cheryl (Guam): What is the
movie genre I love and hate. Well I can tell you that I love the horror genre.
More the silent, creepy17,
psychological horror type but not the gross18 blood vampires, monsters, spattering
everywhere19 type. I really love the Japanese horror movies
because it's very silent and slow and the scariness20
is in your brain. It's not visible like in a monster or in a vampire or
something. I don't think I hate any movie genre.
Mike (United States): I really love
serious movies. I love dramas. Most people like action movies or comedies,
maybe animation, and many people find dramas boring21, but I really like them. I think they're
more interesting. Not the same22
old car chase23.
Not the same old plot24. What can I say? They're
great.
Mauro (Brazil): My favorite
movie genre? Let me see. I like a lot of romantic movies. I like love stories.
They're really pretty amazing25
but on the other hand26,
what really makes me go to the theaters, what makes me rush to the theaters27, would be the horror
movies because it's something like brings is very big emotion when you're
there, so horror movies, not my favorite, but it's what makes me go to the
theaters.
Jonathan (Canada): A genre of
movie that I like. I can't say that there is only one genre I like. I usually
like movies which go against the grain28 and maybe combine different genres. It's a drama at
one point and then all of a sudden29
there is comedy. There's a little romance, some suspense, some violence and you
are always kept on your toes30. You don't know what is
coming next31. A movie for example like "Momento"
or "The Usual Suspects" where you
weren't sure32 which direction the movie was taking33.
