I’m a 50/59 toss up between two reasonably different genres.

The first is coming of age films, particularly queer ones. My go to film to call my favourite is Call me By Your Name, I also love Stand By Me, Aftersun and have a huge soft spot for Kiki’s delivery service.

The other ‘genre’ is dramas / thrillers that get pretty fixated on madness, particularly from the protagonist. There will be Blood is my go to second film to say, and I love Apocalypse Now, Perfect Blue, The Witch and The lighthouse.

I’m not as much fan of when the genres overlap however, although that may be because of how small the sample size is. There are quite a few films that have a young protagonist who is finding themselves, who may end up idolising another to the point that the film falls into being a thriller. We had Saltburn last year, which people often compare to The Talented Mr Ripley, and I do enjoy these films but I never get that milestone feeling that I’ve just experienced a piece of media that has profoundly impacted me. The only thing that exists in this shared space is one of my favourite novels; The Picture of Dorian Gray.

My mom used to say I had the taste of a teenage boy because I like sci fi and fantasy and comics so much.

LOTR trilogy is my favorite.

Pride and Prejudice with Keira Knightly is one we can watch over and over, as are Hot Fuzz and Into the Spiderverse. Those 3 are so good too but my favorite still is the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Psychological thrillers, especially those from the late twentieth century. Think Suspiria and Possession.

This got me paranoid for a whole week, but I still like the plot.

My favorite genre is hardcore character studies.

I just wanna see some dude living life as some dude… Idk why but it just hits. There can be an external plot but all of my favorite movies are just people surviving.

it’s such a beautiful day is definitely #1

I also loved In Bruges and its discussions of morals.

Mary and Max has a lovely take on what friendship is and a lot of talk about mental health.

Other random movies I love: Kubo and the Two Strings The Girl with All the Gifts The Princess Bride Sorry To Bother You The Florida Project Hoodwinked

You might enjoy the series Rectify. It’s slow and character-driven.

Hope you’ve seen the Animatrix, those shorts are worth it. Especially the first 6 of the 9.

Slow, boring spy films like “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy”

All right, I’ll have a go. My favourite film (tho not the one I’ve seen the most number of times (that’s lotr)) is aupposedly le fantôme de la liberté, 1974, Luis Buñuel. As for my favourite genre, I doubt I have one - there’re too many excellent films in too many genres!

I like that real dark and twisted shit. Examples like swallow, run, the lodge etc I always need good psychological horror films I’ve never seen before
