【一起闲话英语】最喜欢和最不喜欢的电影体裁-Best and Worst Movie Genres

Hoa / Vietnam

speaker I love comedy because, you know, whenever you watch a movie you want to have fun and you want to relax so comedies, most of the time, they always they bring us laughter and they bring the joy for you, so I like it. For the genre¹ of movie that I don't like is horror movies because there is a lot of blood and there is a lot of killing² and there is a lot of like devils in the movies and I just don't like that.

 

Jeff / Canada

speaker A movie genre that I love is documentary style. I don't like wasting my time in these crazy Hollywood movies. I like to learn a little bit and extend my knowledge. I find that documentary style does this. The genre that I hate is probably romantic comedy. I'm already married, I don't have to go dating so I don't have to see these movies. Thank goodness!

 

Cheryl / Guam

speaker What is the movie genre I love and hate. Well I can tell you that I love the horror genre. More the silent, creepy, psychological horror type but not the gross blood vampires⁴, monsters, spattering everywhere type. I really love the Japanese horror movies because it's very silent and slow and the scariness is in your brain. It's not visible like in a monster or in a vampire³ or something. I don't think I hate any movie genre.

 

Mike / United States

speaker I really love serious movies. I love dramas. Most people like action movies or comedies, maybe animation⁵, and many people find dramas boring, but I really like them. I think they're more interesting. Not the same old car chase. Not the same old plot. What can I say? They're great.

 

Mauro / Brazil

speaker My favorite movie genre? Let me see. I like a lot of romantic movies. I like love stories. They're really pretty amazing but on the other hand, what really makes me go to the theaters, what makes me rush to the theaters, would be the horror movies because it's something like brings s very big emotion when you're there, so horror movies, not my favorite, but it's what makes me go to the theaters.

 

Jonathan / Canada

speaker A genre of movie that I like. I can't say that there is only one genre I like. I usually like movies which go against the grain and maybe combine different genres⁶. It's a drama at one point and then all of a sudden there is comedy. There's a little romance, some suspense⁷, some violence and you are always kept on your toes. You don't know what is coming next. A movie for example like "Momento" or "The Usual Suspects" where you weren't sure which direction the movie was taking.
