My favs: All classic horror movies (not the bloody new ones), 60’s sci-fi, every John Hughes movies, anything with Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn. And, of course, Hitchcock.
Rebecca says
I gravitate towards cerebral flicks unless I’m too tired to think. Then I’ll watch a scifi or action film.
All that said, my secret passion is for spaghetti westerns. 🙂 I can lose an afternoon if I happen upon The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
Katreader says
I do love almost anything with Cary Grant. I love old films-screwball comedies from the 30s and 40s and fun stuff from the 60s. Some favorites include The Party (Peter Sellers) Bedazzled (the one with Peter Cook and Dudley Moore), The Wrong Box (also with that duo), Murder By Death (Truman Capote), What’s Up, Doc (Barbara Streisand), The Trouble with Angels and Where Angels Go Trouble Follows, many of the classic Disney films from the 60s and 70s…..
CJ says
I love Doris Day! Would rather watch of the classics than almost anything else.
badger gardener says
I enjoy movies of all kinds excepting the blockbuster action genre. What will actually get me out to the movie theaters is anything with Daniel Day Lewis. He is such a master of his craft.
Vicki says
Anything at all from Merchant/Ivory productions tops the list (because they have always been soooo gorgeously filmed!). Beyond that, romantic comedy. If I am going to go to the movies, I want to be entertained………. not scared witless, not bored to tears, not preached at….
Ann says
Love musicals.
Rhonda Strahler says
While my favorites are usually GOOD Sci-Fi (think the Minority Report and Avatar) , I enjoy all sorts of movies if they are “unpredictable” (like you, Kevin!) I loved “Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou” and “Inglourious Basterds” – but the animated “Up” is one of my “best”….
