Show us yours first...:v:

Pigman II

I like many films from all genres (even Musicals!) but American film-noir is the only one I could watch literally ANYTHING from.

I originally meant to post this thread with a big pole but half way through I thought that most films dont fall neatly into one genre and most people dont care to much about genre(pigmans post illustrates this) so I posted the other thread. Anyway for some reason this thread posted so Ill go with it. I suppose my favourite genre would be crime especially gangster flicks like goodfellas, godfather, the killing etc. Im also a big fan of revenge films like park-chan wooks trilogy, oldboy and death rides a horse. Also partial to a good suspense thriller(im a hitchcock nut). But for the sake of being different Ill say exploitation which Im getting very much into at the moment. Films like blood feast, thriller, cannibal holocaust, russ meyer pictures,. Not because Im a sicko or anything I just find those movies and their position in film history very interesting.

I enjoy most films I see, but I will def see any sci-fi/futuristic film.

scuba steve

enjoy most films too, but mainly comedy/adventure. Example Big Mommas House or Armegeddon

Goodshape

Sci-Fi. I like it best when's it's done seriously (2001, Solaris) but wouldn't say no to a space themed action/adventure either (Star Wars , etc.)

Wow a lot of sci-fi fans around here. One genre I never really got into, although I saw the thing(carpenters version) for the first time last week and it blew me away. The terminator films are also class and Langs metropolis but as for the rest I could take it or leave it.
Ps I havent seen Bladerunner yet but its on my list.

I'm waiting for a decent Comedy Pirate Action Nudie T&A
movie.

Like Pirates of the Carribean... but with more booty... and boobies.

Goodshape

nuts to your pirates... you gotta get some high powered lasers in there.

You can't go wrong with lasers and tits. Perticularly if the lasers are eminating from the tits.... Like in that movie I just dreamnt up called Laser Tits 9000, about a bunch of buxom blondes with a deadly secret. hoHO!

Now that's high-brow entertainment.

Always fancied blacksploitation, and 'kicksploitation' (karatified eastern variant) as the most unassailably cred of genres. I can only lament the failure of a sibling celtic 'Micksploitation' (!!!) genre to evolve. Until such time as this is remedied, some pirate-shaped fare should fill the generic hole in my soul.

Whats you favourite genre?

I love this question. In fact when I'm taking the piss out of pretentious arty people at film festivals this is the question I ask them. Try saying it in the most stuck-up artsy-fartsy pretentious way possible and see what I mean.

To answer the question though - my favourite genre is most definitely post-neo-noir-feminist-dramedies

Hugh Hefner

Ah, My Summer Of Love. I hear ya.

I'm starting to develop a bit of a thing for westerns. Is that unusual for a chick? Saw Once Upon A Time In The West recently and it was STUNNING!!! The Man With No Name/Dollars trilogy is great too, as is The Outlaw Josey Wales. Although a lot of westerns, particularly John Ford/John Wayne ones, take an appalling gung-ho, whites=good, injuns=bad approach.

Running Bing

I must admit dudess Im a little turned on!:D

I have to agree with you though, although Im a huge fan of Leones westerns I never really got the whole John Ford thing. I can never understand why hes held in such high regard.(and yes I know it sounds somewhat hypocritical saying I love leone and dislike ford but thats just the way I feel)

Davei141

Everything except musicals and romance.

Can't figure out why, but one aims to please. Yeah, Leone's the man. And I love Morricone's music.

Film noir, something about those old black&white movies.

Love triangles.

See it soon. Probably the greatest sci-fi movie ever made after 2001 and maybe Tarkovsky's Solyaris. (though Soderbergh's version wasnt bad either)

I don't think I have a favourite genre but I love a good historical/war movie. Mystery or twist movies like the usual suspects and memento are great too.

Dudess

Yeah, Blade Runner is a thing of beauty, Babybing. It looks so amazing after all this time (24 years). And what a soundtrack!
