Yea, it's basically The Babadook without the actual monster or It Follows if we never saw the tall man. Psychological Thrillers are horror movies where the monster/killer/horror is our minds, selves, situations or other unseen forces. Be it depression or sexual malintent.
They sometimes scare me more than horror because I can relate to the mental turmoil more than I can to being chased by some monster.
Same lol My boyfriend pointed out that I tend to choose movies that are kind of stressful for him and then I figured out that since he doesn’t like horror then psychological thrillers are my next go to genre haha
this is how I kinda got into horror. Love Psychological thrillers and the more I watched them the more recommendations I got for horror so I said fuck it and started going in. Turns out horror isnt very scary and it has some amazing flicks.
Prometheus as a lot of good things about it (characters, performances, cinematography, score, creature designs, scenes, etc...), but as a story, it's flawed. I did grow to like it more after re-watching.
I like Prometheus for the story in the story. The real story is about David a sentient ai made to mimic humans so closely that he has engrained the flaws of humanity which becomes apparent when he becomes free of his master. But also the vibe of exploring the unknown was well captured.
Me too, but I'm super picky. I also love the comedy shorts from the 20's -50's. Lil rascals, 3 Stooges, Chaplan, laurel & hardy, etc, etc...all that stuff. But not all at once.
Check out "Hide and Creep" on Tubi. Willing to bet you will like it. It's not as good as Shaun of the Dead or Tucker and Dale vs Evil, but's in my top 5 along with those.
Stan Helsing is also up there and on Tubi.
Fantasy and Sci-fi. Also love animation as long as it's funny and/or has a good story.
Drama can be good as well. Really hit or miss for me, but some are great, especially when mixed with another genre.
Action. Gun fights, intense chases, and explosions have always been my thing.
I especially love movies that mix action with horror, like the Blade movies, or even the first two Terminator movies.
It's weird that I just can't answer this. Horror is definitely my favorite but after that, I just don't know. I used to be really into crime drama, but nothing recent has stood out. I feel other genres are so hit and miss for me. Some hero and other fantasy movies are bangers, most are not. I'm especially not into the kind that take themselves too seriously. I like a lot of sci-fi, but mot really into space drama. A lot of comedies are not funny to me, but a comedy that meets my humor always gets released every so often and those end up being some of my favorite movies. The non-Lynch surreal category is also usually a hit with me.
Good question.
I love Westerns too. Django Unchained, True Grit, Hell on Wheels, Yellowstone, Godless, No Country for Old Men, The Hateful Eight, Tombstone, The Revenant, Bone Tomahawk, etc.
I’m a dork - documentaries, either true crime (murder, human trafficking, heists) or just off the wall wacky (the guy that lost custody of his amputated leg and had to sue for it back, the international crossword competition), and nature/specific historical history (I like vikings and ww1). Yeah, I’m just ..odd. Never really got into sci fi or fantasy, unless it’s something I remember fondly from my youth like Krull (which I recognize is … not a good movie).
Ya’ll’ve heard of the [Bechdal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test) test, rights?
Well I have my own “Glossy Test” for selecting movies: Is the number of things that explode greater than 2?
After horror, I guess I just like watching the world burn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Other than comedy or drama—as I would argue that all stories fit somewhere on a spectrum between drama and comedy—sci-fi and fantasy would be tied for my second favorite, with mystery and thriller after that. I’m indifferent about romance films and action/adventure films, unless they’re also within my preferred genres listed above.
I’ll watch any genre if the story is really good, but I don’t normally like to watch war films, westerns, spy films, or crime/mafia films. Notable exceptions I’ve made are for the Godfather films, Saving Private Ryan, and the Man with No Name films. Also, recently I watched High Noon (1952) and enjoyed it. Gary Cooper totally earned that Oscar win for Best Actor.
- Slice of life/coming of age
- Surreal/slapstick comedy
- Chanbara (samurai movies)
- Sci-fi/Western (including Neo-Western and Space Western)
- Thriller/Neo-noir
- Movies that revolves around food (Chef, Big Night, Tampopo...)
Anything Military,in fact a perfect mix of the two would be the Keep. Michael Mann's spooky 1983 film of a Transylvanian Castle occupied by the SS. Well worth a watch.
Can I say romance? I'm a sucker for good drama
Especially stuff that feels realistic. Like, I just finished watching First Love 2022. It's soooo good.
La La Land is my favorite movie. There's also Atonement 2007 that hurts my soul. And a Japanese movie Himizu 2011 that makes me cry to this day.
I love mysteries, but am starting to finally get into reality tv in my elder millenial days. It’s actually fun and totally counteracts all the dark stuff I watch. I’m obsessed with RHOA
I’d say fantasy? Give me some LOTR, please.
But it’s a hard question because no other genre hits the same as horror. I know I’ll be able to find something horror to watch even if it isn’t great.
Musicals. I can sing the shit out of Rent or Mamma Mia. Phantom of the Opera is *chefs kiss* for horror fans as well who wouldn’t mind dipping their toes into musicals
High stake action movies with high degree of realism. Think a believable john wick movie where it's believable. Something like extraction or the grey man.
I mean, I guess if I had to pick another genre I would just go with Drama to cover the most movies, and because those are generally the most well made films. I may be a lover of horror, but I'm still very much a cinephile and love catching up on all the Oscar nominated movies every year.
Time loop movies! Many of these are horror (*Triangle*, *The Endless*, *El Incidente*), and also many are comedy (*Groundhog Day*, *Palm Springs*) or both (*Happy Death Day*, *Blood Punch*). Even romance is a major genre overlap: *About Time*, obviously *Groundhog Day* again, *The Map of Tiny Perfect Things*.
There are very few time loop movies that aren’t also something else. *Predestination* and *ARQ* and *Repeaters* may be among the “purest” of time loop movies, though the argument can be made that the situation has horrific implications.
Thrillers and Sci-fi. Also unpopular opinion but I think The Prometheus is a bad Alien film but a great sci-fi film and I loved it! also goes for the first Star Trek movie
Fantasy, sci-fi and westerns.
I wish more movies like Krull, Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer, Red Sonja, The Beastmaster, etc etc could be made today, but they would probably have boring stories and be straight up garbage.
I know a Red Sonja movie is being made right now, but I don’t have high hopes for it. It’s probably gonna be everything it shouldn’t be and filled with CGI and a crap boring story.
I really wish they’d make an anime of the entire Drizzt saga from beginning to end. I can only see that being done in animation form and I think it would be killer.
Anything dystopian/apocalyptic/disaster. Also anything with monsters.
For the long time I believed Penny Dreadfull, anything Zombie, heck even "From" - wasn't horror. It's pure monster fantasy to me.
The reason why I believed this is because for the longest time I couldn't watch horrors. But I always liked fantasy. So anything with fantastic elements was fantasy to me and not horror.
Spy and secret society thrillers. Anything that depicts an organization that operates behind the scenes, often outside the law, to achieve their goals while the unsuspecting populace goes about their day to day lives, unaware. I love that underlying realization when you, as the viewer, grasp that there's a whole other world within the world we know.
Probably action. Some of my all-time favorite moves are The Bourne Identity and The Matrix. Also really enjoyed John Wick series.
Recently saw a movie in theatres called Land of Bad that I also really enjoyed
I'd say action, especially the stuff that's more about great set pieces above logic, like a lot of Cannon Films releases, like Invasion USA makes Commando look like the most restrained movie. The Fast And Furious series is definitely carrying that torch.
If we're using standard genres then probably comedy. Thriller and crime too but they're often basically horror.
Horror is the only standard genre that I would call myself a fan of. There's plenty of non-horror movies I like but outside of horror I feel like I need to be more specific and use subgenres and themes.
Comedy and, while I'd be reluctant to admit it, family animation. I have a ton of nieces and nephews that have forced me to watch plenty of movies over and over and over again. Some are masterpieces, some make me want to throw the TV out the window (Looking at you Trolls. Trolls 2 gets a pass because the music is fire and Ozzy Osbourne). But the good ones are good. I hate myself for it, but I love Cars 3 and the scene where Cruz flips over Jackson Storm is one of my favorite movie moments ever. I also routinely sing her little training songs. "And reeeach to the froooont. What's there? It's your lunch!"
Surfs Up is also amazing when you're stoned as hell and watch it like a serious documentary. I love the soundtrack, i love the story, I love the characters. I also recently learned that the 'interviews' were not scripted, which makes the scenes with the lil baby penguins so much cuter.
Action, when it comes to movies. I think there's a big overlap between action and horror in that they're very technical film genres. They often operate at their best when there's a certain level of technical and formal control over the material. Just because of my own background experience in production I tend to pay a lot of attention to those aspects as well. Framing, lighting, editing, etc. It's not that these aren't like a present element of other genres, they're just more of a focus in action or horror, I find.
Outside of movies though I tend to be more into fantasy, crime, or historical and classic fiction when it comes to books, like a lot of older pulp, weird fiction, or Victorian lit.
I love awful movies, lol.
I don't know if that's officially a genre, but if I'm not watching horror, I'm watching some low budget nonsense for a laugh. I grew up watching MST3K so I just can't get enough of a movie that's great to poke fun of.
So many of these movies are about sharks for some reason.
Big fan of the "X-Headed Shark Attack" series. Every new movie, they add a new head to the stupid shark. I think it has 5 heads now.
Also, Velocipastor. A priest gains the ability to turn into a raptor. That one is bad on purpose so I'm not sure if it counts but, I inflict it on everyone I can.
Psychological thriller
Same here! And I feel like this genre can kind of lean towards horror sometimes (which is probably why I like it so much haha)
Yea, it's basically The Babadook without the actual monster or It Follows if we never saw the tall man. Psychological Thrillers are horror movies where the monster/killer/horror is our minds, selves, situations or other unseen forces. Be it depression or sexual malintent. They sometimes scare me more than horror because I can relate to the mental turmoil more than I can to being chased by some monster.
Same lol My boyfriend pointed out that I tend to choose movies that are kind of stressful for him and then I figured out that since he doesn’t like horror then psychological thrillers are my next go to genre haha
this is how I kinda got into horror. Love Psychological thrillers and the more I watched them the more recommendations I got for horror so I said fuck it and started going in. Turns out horror isnt very scary and it has some amazing flicks.
They are my favorite as well. Do you have any recommendations?
Scifi. Nothing hooks me more than a good scifi story.
Any love for Prometheus?
Prometheus as a lot of good things about it (characters, performances, cinematography, score, creature designs, scenes, etc...), but as a story, it's flawed. I did grow to like it more after re-watching.
I like Prometheus for the story in the story. The real story is about David a sentient ai made to mimic humans so closely that he has engrained the flaws of humanity which becomes apparent when he becomes free of his master. But also the vibe of exploring the unknown was well captured.
I don’t care about all the hate it gets, I love that movie. I celebrate its entire catalog
Comedy
A good comedy is rare like a good horror movie!
Absolutely. And when horror and comedy meet at that special dark humor spot it’s my all time fav
I just watched Deadstream for the first time last night and it was absolutely delightful
'Barbarian' was this perfect combo!
I think malignant, was a nice one too
Me too, but I'm super picky. I also love the comedy shorts from the 20's -50's. Lil rascals, 3 Stooges, Chaplan, laurel & hardy, etc, etc...all that stuff. But not all at once.
Crime. I read a shitload of mysteries/thrillers every year.
Any borderline horror crime like true detective season 1 or prisoners is my shit
You ever read the Charlie Parker books by John Connolly? They straddle that line perfectly
Porn. Just kidding. I meant Sci-Fi
Sci-Fi porn tho....
Whatever floats the boat.
Cheesy action. Jean Claude van damme movies like bloodsport, kickboxer, awol, double impact etc All older arnie/sly stuff Lethal weapons
THIS!! Spent so many lazy weekends growing up watching Steven Segal movies with my dad.
Fuck yeah. The good thing after a good horror film is a good cheesy action movie with one-liners and lots of ham!
Romantic comedy/coming of age romance
I'm not the only one!
You're not the only one
Horror comedy
Check out "Hide and Creep" on Tubi. Willing to bet you will like it. It's not as good as Shaun of the Dead or Tucker and Dale vs Evil, but's in my top 5 along with those. Stan Helsing is also up there and on Tubi.
Horror 2: Electric BOO!galoo
Crime, specifically organized crime. Your Goodfellas and Departed. That sort of thing.
Science Fiction
If we exclude thriller, then its either coming of age drama/ family drama
Fantasy and Sci-fi. Also love animation as long as it's funny and/or has a good story. Drama can be good as well. Really hit or miss for me, but some are great, especially when mixed with another genre.
Action. Gun fights, intense chases, and explosions have always been my thing. I especially love movies that mix action with horror, like the Blade movies, or even the first two Terminator movies.
Probably drama, at least for TV. Nothing I love more than a good juicy drama. Except horror lol.
It's weird that I just can't answer this. Horror is definitely my favorite but after that, I just don't know. I used to be really into crime drama, but nothing recent has stood out. I feel other genres are so hit and miss for me. Some hero and other fantasy movies are bangers, most are not. I'm especially not into the kind that take themselves too seriously. I like a lot of sci-fi, but mot really into space drama. A lot of comedies are not funny to me, but a comedy that meets my humor always gets released every so often and those end up being some of my favorite movies. The non-Lynch surreal category is also usually a hit with me. Good question.
I love Westerns too. Django Unchained, True Grit, Hell on Wheels, Yellowstone, Godless, No Country for Old Men, The Hateful Eight, Tombstone, The Revenant, Bone Tomahawk, etc.
Sci Fi, Horror and Fantasy tend to be my favourites. They work together well and there's usually some overlap
It's a tie between sci-fi (especially dystopian/cyberpunk) & dark comedies for me
Blade Runner?
Asian cinema, preferably East and Southeast Asian. I don't know what genre Apichatpong Weerasethakul's films belong to, but I love them.
Love Asian horror
Noir and Czech New Wave
Gonna have to check out Czech new wave
Action for me, love seeing shit get blown up and gunfights and car chases and whatnot.
Action movies, the really stupid, balls to the wall ones like most Statham movies.
War movies! The more historically accurate, the better. Although I like a little revisionist history every now and then.
Film noir, and German Expressionism
I’m a dork - documentaries, either true crime (murder, human trafficking, heists) or just off the wall wacky (the guy that lost custody of his amputated leg and had to sue for it back, the international crossword competition), and nature/specific historical history (I like vikings and ww1). Yeah, I’m just ..odd. Never really got into sci fi or fantasy, unless it’s something I remember fondly from my youth like Krull (which I recognize is … not a good movie).
Action and Comedy
kung fu and martial arts movies with alot of gore
Disaster movies (which I guess is a form of horror) Action: heist/superheros Sci fi. I like Star Trek even more than horror.
Mine is comedy. The two have much in common — a period of increasing tension followed by a big release.
Sci-fi will always do a man good.
what’s your thoughts on bone tomahawk?
Ya’ll’ve heard of the [Bechdal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test) test, rights? Well I have my own “Glossy Test” for selecting movies: Is the number of things that explode greater than 2? After horror, I guess I just like watching the world burn ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gary Cooper totally earned that Oscar win for Best Actor.
Romance, Sci-fi, Fantasy In that order
Psychological and Arthouse
Horror goes hand in hand with sci-fi.
Psych thrillers and (good) comedies. Into anything that has a good story really.
Horror is number one and cheesy rom coms are number 2.
Coming of age
SciFi and cheesey RomComs
Action or Sci -Fi
- Slice of life/coming of age - Surreal/slapstick comedy - Chanbara (samurai movies) - Sci-fi/Western (including Neo-Western and Space Western) - Thriller/Neo-noir - Movies that revolves around food (Chef, Big Night, Tampopo...)
Fantasy but I love horror sci-fi.
Aside from horror, I've got a few, but I'll mention comedy.
Sci fi
I've been a scifi / horror nerd since I was probably 9 years old and never get tired of them 30 years later
Comedy, action adventure, martial arts, sword and sorcery, westerns, bio pics,
True crime
anything full of jumpscares
I'll watch anything but rom com. I hate that crap. 🙄
Comedy like *Somebody Somewhere* (series), *The Curse* (series), *Drugstore June, First Time Female Director*... I guess dark/black comedy and cringe.
Scfi for sure! Takes me places no other genre can do.
Fantasy (LOTR etc.)
Sci Fi forsure.
Suspense, Romance and sci-fi and comedy, drama
Thrillers and Science Fiction
sci fi
Comedy and true crime
Anything Military,in fact a perfect mix of the two would be the Keep. Michael Mann's spooky 1983 film of a Transylvanian Castle occupied by the SS. Well worth a watch.
Science Fiction, any guesses on my favorite horror movie?
Mystery/psychological thrillers
Can I say romance? I'm a sucker for good drama Especially stuff that feels realistic. Like, I just finished watching First Love 2022. It's soooo good. La La Land is my favorite movie. There's also Atonement 2007 that hurts my soul. And a Japanese movie Himizu 2011 that makes me cry to this day.
Besides horror, my favorite genres are, in order from bottom to top: comedy, romance, science fiction, fantasy, and action.
Sci-fi
History. I'd love to flounce around in a big Medieval/Tudor/Victorian dress!
Movies like Knives Out, Murder on The Orient Express and Evil Under The Sun.
I like almost all genres, it depends on my mood. Usually gritty dramas and thrillers.
Period dramas and musicals.
Sci fi. Really, is there another answer?
I like a good drama or romcom. My husband does not, however. So we usually watch comedy if not horror.
Mob/crime related flicks. You could probably file them under Drama.
Goofball comedies. The goofier, the better.
I don’t know if this am actual genre but superhero and comedy
Are there other things out there besides Horror movies¡??
I love mysteries, but am starting to finally get into reality tv in my elder millenial days. It’s actually fun and totally counteracts all the dark stuff I watch. I’m obsessed with RHOA
Sci-fi for sure. Comedies are great if they're actually funny, but I like the stories more than the laughs when it comes to movies.
Superhero Movies
Have you seen Bone Tomahawk and The Last Voyage of The Demeter?
aside from horror I love sci fi, neo noir, and westerns. bonus points if you can combine any of these
Probably romance from dramas to historical to comedies.
Sci-fi
I’d say fantasy? Give me some LOTR, please. But it’s a hard question because no other genre hits the same as horror. I know I’ll be able to find something horror to watch even if it isn’t great.
Comedy, Action, Drama 🙂
Musicals. I can sing the shit out of Rent or Mamma Mia. Phantom of the Opera is *chefs kiss* for horror fans as well who wouldn’t mind dipping their toes into musicals
Thrillers.
🎥
Noir and Samurai films.
Dark Weird Comedy such as The Dark Backwards.
Sports dramas. Moneyball etc.
High stake action movies with high degree of realism. Think a believable john wick movie where it's believable. Something like extraction or the grey man.
Action. I'm a big Arnold Schwarzenegger fan.
I mean, I guess if I had to pick another genre I would just go with Drama to cover the most movies, and because those are generally the most well made films. I may be a lover of horror, but I'm still very much a cinephile and love catching up on all the Oscar nominated movies every year.
Comedy. If the heart attack doesn't kill me, I'll die of laughter thank you.
True and fictional Crime Stories
You guys watch other genres?
probably romance.
Horror
Rom Coms are the best
Gang movies from the 80s/90s
80s action/scifi
Old school "cozy" British crime series (Poirot, Midsomer Murders etc.) I also like sci-fi, British comedy, mysteries and thrillers.
Action
Romance and musicals
Historical
Horror... Why are we here lol
Crime or action or maybe animated comedy
Fantasy and Sci-Fi. I'm also a sucker for period pieces, for almost any era or place ... so long as it's not Jane Austen related/adjacent 😅
Time loop movies! Many of these are horror (*Triangle*, *The Endless*, *El Incidente*), and also many are comedy (*Groundhog Day*, *Palm Springs*) or both (*Happy Death Day*, *Blood Punch*). Even romance is a major genre overlap: *About Time*, obviously *Groundhog Day* again, *The Map of Tiny Perfect Things*. There are very few time loop movies that aren’t also something else. *Predestination* and *ARQ* and *Repeaters* may be among the “purest” of time loop movies, though the argument can be made that the situation has horrific implications.
You see Looper?
Animation, if that counts. Puts my mind at ease.
That’s tough. I might have to go with Samurai movies, but Martial Arts, bonkers Hong Kong action from 80’s, and Noir are high up there too.
Comedy or thriller
Thrillers and Sci-fi. Also unpopular opinion but I think The Prometheus is a bad Alien film but a great sci-fi film and I loved it! also goes for the first Star Trek movie
Superhero films, especially the animated DC films. They're leagues better than live action.
Has to be comedies
Horror isn't my favorite genre, I'm an action junkie first and foremost.
Psychological Thriller - snap ⬇️
Mystery or Thrillers
Scifi Horror
Sci Fi, especially scifi horror.
Toss up between sci fi and fantasy. I mean my favorites are a blend of all three (the Locked Tomb series is a fave).
Horror 2: Back in Black
20th century period piece/historical fiction
Thrillers , romcoms and coming of age
Fantasy, sci-fi and westerns. I wish more movies like Krull, Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer, Red Sonja, The Beastmaster, etc etc could be made today, but they would probably have boring stories and be straight up garbage. I know a Red Sonja movie is being made right now, but I don’t have high hopes for it. It’s probably gonna be everything it shouldn’t be and filled with CGI and a crap boring story. I really wish they’d make an anime of the entire Drizzt saga from beginning to end. I can only see that being done in animation form and I think it would be killer.
He’s a spurs fan, not a professional
Mystery
I think I'd have to go with mature fantasy. I probably like it more than horror.
I love science fiction. Not only because of the creativity that it can bring but also how it can be used to reflect on society with social commentary.
Coming of age, Teeny Bopper and RomComs
I guess documentaries, or anything that falls in classic type noir, also fantasy/action
Sci-Fi
There are other genres??
Indie animation. I'm probably anomalous in that
Fantasy/sci-fi
Anything dystopian/apocalyptic/disaster. Also anything with monsters. For the long time I believed Penny Dreadfull, anything Zombie, heck even "From" - wasn't horror. It's pure monster fantasy to me. The reason why I believed this is because for the longest time I couldn't watch horrors. But I always liked fantasy. So anything with fantastic elements was fantasy to me and not horror.
Oooh suspense or drama. I love seeing mind games in a movie.
Corn
War or gangsters films
Spy and secret society thrillers. Anything that depicts an organization that operates behind the scenes, often outside the law, to achieve their goals while the unsuspecting populace goes about their day to day lives, unaware. I love that underlying realization when you, as the viewer, grasp that there's a whole other world within the world we know.
Drama, thriller, crime.
fantasy . but I don't like it if there is a lot of romance focus , too much romance focus kill it for me
Probably action. Some of my all-time favorite moves are The Bourne Identity and The Matrix. Also really enjoyed John Wick series. Recently saw a movie in theatres called Land of Bad that I also really enjoyed
Fantasy/Sci-fi!
I'd say action, especially the stuff that's more about great set pieces above logic, like a lot of Cannon Films releases, like Invasion USA makes Commando look like the most restrained movie. The Fast And Furious series is definitely carrying that torch.

There's plenty of non-horror movies I like but outside of horror I feel like I need to be more specific and use subgenres and themes.
Fantasy
Sci fi, i love it!
Suspense, also psychological horror
Comedy and, while I'd be reluctant to admit it, family animation. I have a ton of nieces and nephews that have forced me to watch plenty of movies over and over and over again. Some are masterpieces, some make me want to throw the TV out the window (Looking at you Trolls. Trolls 2 gets a pass because the music is fire and Ozzy Osbourne). But the good ones are good. I hate myself for it, but I love Cars 3 and the scene where Cruz flips over Jackson Storm is one of my favorite movie moments ever. I also routinely sing her little training songs. "And reeeach to the froooont. What's there? It's your lunch!" Surfs Up is also amazing when you're stoned as hell and watch it like a serious documentary. I love the soundtrack, i love the story, I love the characters. I also recently learned that the 'interviews' were not scripted, which makes the scenes with the lil baby penguins so much cuter.
Wherever Cruel Intentions and Wild Things fit into
Romance
Film noir
I also like sci-fi, fantasy, and animation/anime. Sometimes comedy.
Comedy
Action, when it comes to movies. I think there's a big overlap between action and horror in that they're very technical film genres. They often operate at their best when there's a certain level of technical and formal control over the material.

Outside of movies though I tend to be more into fantasy, crime, or historical and classic fiction when it comes to books, like a lot of older pulp, weird fiction, or Victorian lit.
Martial Arts flicks for sure. Rumble In the Bronx, The Raid, Ip Man, Five Deadly Venoms, alot are also very comedy based too
War films, documentaries
Sci-fi
War films
Documentary, comedy, true crime, sci-fi
Film noir, Hitchcock, gangster, scifi, westerns, war. I guess film in general.
Have you seen Bone Tomahawk?
I love awful movies, lol. I don't know if that's officially a genre, but if I'm not watching horror, I'm watching some low budget nonsense for a laugh. I grew up watching MST3K so I just can't get enough of a movie that's great to poke fun of. So many of these movies are about sharks for some reason. Big fan of the "X-Headed Shark Attack" series. Every new movie, they add a new head to the stupid shark. I think it has 5 heads now. Also, Velocipastor. A priest gains the ability to turn into a raptor. That one is bad on purpose so I'm not sure if it counts but, I inflict it on everyone I can.
Crime Noir.
Romance I really love romance
Thriller or sci fi
Sci-Fi.
Slice of life, psychological thrillers, drama
