Favourite Movie Genre

[jaw2929]

So what is your favourite movie genre... The one you get the most out of, the one you see a good majority of your movies in.... I'd haveta say mine would either be Horror or Suspense/Drama.... What's yours?

[ilovemovies]

I love all genres but if I could choose just one I guess I'm often very excited with science fiction.

Drama would be second. Followed by action/adventure and then suspense.

[syxxpac]

Action/Adventure

Two of my top three belong in that category (T2 and Aliens).

[Trinity]

Musical, closely followed by noir and screwball comedy. But I guess from the poll I would choose drama.

[Hannibal21]

Suspense

Preferably Hitchcock's classic masterpieces VERTIGO, REBECCA,SPELLBOUND, & NOTORIOUS, and the old school Film Noirs such as DOUBLE INDEMNITY and THE MALTESE FALCON. Of the contemporary films, THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, BLUE VELVET, and MULHOLLAND DRIVE.

[Rick-James]

Action/Adventure

[Gian-Sergio]

Drama

THE SEVEN SAMURAI, CITIZEN KANE, RAGING BULL, THE GODFATHER, THE GODFATHER PART II, LA DOLCE VITA, TOKYO STORY, TAXI DRIVER, IKIRU, THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST, AMORES PERROS, and CITY OF GOD

1. Drama
2. Comedy
3. Western
4. Suspense/Horror

#1 is definite. The rest of the list is questionable.

[Cronos]

Horror

[Raging Bull080]

By far most of the truly great films that I have ever seen are found in the drama category.

[Puck Bond]

Action/Adventure for me...

[B1rd_Po0p]

Sci-Fi and Action/Adventure. I'm in heaven when a movie combines elements of both genres... :D

[Sigur509]

Drama...

Well, Dramedy is more like it.

[Jon Lyrik]

Drama and suspense, no doubt.

I love movies from any and all genres, though.

[Pumpkin Smeller]

1. Sci-fi
2. Suspense/Thriller
3. Comedy
4. Drama
5. Action/Adventure
6. Horror

I agree with Poop, the best movies are the ones that combine science fiction with action/adventure.

[Beatrix Kiddo]

I voted drama...but does anyone else think that genre's are generally pretty arbitrary? I always look at them as pretty subjective - one person could think something is Action/Adventure while someone else might think it's drama.

But, for the sake of simplicity, genres are handy! ;)

[morricone]

Crap, I've already posted in this thread. Oh well....

[sarah1980]

I have 3 genres tied for favourite horror/action/sci-fi so I voted for the horror :)

[Gian-Sergio]

1.Drama(Schindler's List)
2.Action-Adventure(The Seven Samurai)
3.Western(The Good The Bad and The Ugly)
4.Science-Fiction(2001: a space odyssey)
5.Crime(Pulp Fiction)

[Indy in IN]

Action, Adventure, Sci-fi fantasies.

Big Trouble in Little China.

and

Raiders of the Lost Ark.

[EvilEd]

Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror

[Badbird]

Meh, I tend to lump Sci-F and Western under Action

And I throw suspense under drama or action, depending on the movie. (The Firm = Drama, 8mm = Action)

If I could go back in time and un-invent any genre, it would be horror.

So I guess I'd go Action #1, Drama #2, Comedy #3, Horror # negative 1000.

[jaw2929]

And Horror and Drama are neck and neck! :p

[blankpage]

Suspense/Thriller

[jaw2929]

Looks like Horror's the winner (thus far anyhow :p)

[outsyder]

I vote for Sci-Fi.


Close match.
