Movie genres you don't like/watch? (1 Viewer)

I don't like war movies based on real life stories/events because they remind me of the reality that people had to live in or are still living in.
I usually use movies as an escape from the depressing events that happen around us everyday.

I usually don't like gore, as in I watch a lot of horror movies too but I prefer psychological horror/something more atmospheric, cerebral rather than slasher types where there's just a lot of violence and limbs getting cut or torture scenes.

What's weird is I can stomach explicit violence pretty well in other movies- like war, serial killer, thrillers lol but I usually hate movies where that's the main genre.

I don't like really sad movies, why would I want to cry when I have plenty of other reasons?

These too, I prefer horrors with ghosts and stuff, but I don't like the ones with a lot of blood and violence. I like to snack during movies

i'm guessing you're a big fan of the SAW series then

this is probably way too specific but i tend to avoid tear-jerker dramas where the whole story revolves around a character who has some kind of terminal illness, which ends up being portrayed inaccurately anyway. i don't like war movies or many action movies either but this trope is what i hate the most. in fact i wrote a very long post on why i hate this so much in this thread. Discussion - Mass Media Tropes
not that i expect anyone to read it, i just want to show that i hate it to the point where i'm willing to write a whole essay to explain why

1917 is so good
War movies are some of my fav when done well- 1917, Dunkirk, Saving Private Ryan.
I hate when they become melodramatic af tho- Pearl Harbor

I haven't watched many but 1917 was done beautiful the cinematography and the music was just amazing.

It seriously was one of my favorite newer movies alongside Parasite (I know cliche)

1917 is an exception to my usual aversion for them, i am too intrigued about it so i am going to watch it sooner than later

not really cliche, i fully agree with you. both are such great movies. parasite became one of my favourite movies ever since i saw it the first time in september 2019. i went to see 1917 in theaters three times and even though war movies are not my thing either it's an experience i won't forget for a long time

horror
don't care for the blood and psychopaths

 

[honeyfornomoney]

I hate gore and horror

 

[Tickita]

Horror. Not really into "comedy" anymore, either

 

[OnlyCalB]

I avoid the tear-jerker movies and Horror movies. Most Horror's just seem to be way to similar and boring to me lol.

I watch movies for escapism so I love action, fantasy and sci-fi movies etc. Why would I watch a film that will make me cry, you know?

FYI I avoid those tearjerker movies too lmao, we have identical tastes
