Movie Genres I’m Into
As a cinephile, my intense love for the movies breaks into film history, film facts, celebrity news and so on. I scrutinize a film from the filming location to hidden Easter eggs.
Enough said, as mentioned above, being a cinephile, I expand my horizons. Where are we going here?
The Anime fanatics. War . . .jarheads. Diehard sports fans. Bandwagon fans. Using words I’m making up at the moment, sorta. Or not.
Don’t need to tell ya ’cause imma show ya!
I do not prefer one over the other. These are my go-to.
Without further ado, before I bore you into the next life, here:Action:
You and your bro stay up until four in the morning watching these. Your eyeballs feel like warm, teary hard-boiled eggs from lack of sleep. Weird? Yeaaahh. What an absurdist remark, ya noob!
Mad Max: Fury Road; X-Men franchise; Assassin’s Creed; Robin Hood OriginsAnimation: Or animated? Whichever.
Spirit:Stallion of the Cimarron . . .
You know I had “rise” in there instead of “stallion?” I don’t know where that came from!
Iron Giant; The Adventures of Tin-Tin; My Little Pony: The MovieYo, these go hand in hand. Tin-Tin is in fact live-action but hey, doesn’t it look animated?
Biography:
Lincoln; Steve Jobs
Why, aren’t the the film titles about Steve Jobs absolutely confusing? There’s the Ashton Kutcher film titled Jobs and the most recent film, Steve Jobs, starring the sexiest man ever, Michael Fassbender. How about the next film of the Apple giant bear the title, “Not User Friendly”?
Hidden Figures; Rocketman
It is, okay? There happens to be more music in it.
Mary Queen of Scots; Sully; Captain Phillips; The Revenant . . . ishComedy: Booksmart; Hot Fuzz; Shaun of the Dead; Airplane; Monty Python; Caddyshack; Deadpool 1&2; The Hitman’s Bodyguard
Classic: Spaceballs; The Naked Gun; The Sound of Music; Mary Poppins (1964); Heidi (1937)
Sure nailed that list!Chick films: Legally Blonde 1&2; Mean Girls; Sleepover; Princess Diaries 1&2; The Devil Wears Prada; Aquamarine
Note I’ve legitimately seen these films. I’m not posting particular favorites/randoms. Like I’m not gonna post The Hangover because–mind blown fact–I’ve never seen that film and have no interest in it. Sorry if I ruined your day.
Documentary:
Yes, I have docos on here. Docus. Should also be docos. As a young’un, it’s expected the lack of appreciation there. I’ve matured and realized the appreciation of education. If there’s a docu-doco out there for you that isn’t boring AF, go for it! I’ve found ones that interest me all the way.
Hail Satan?; Where to Invade Next; Jesus Camp
Okay, Jesus Camp is down here for the sake of shock and to poke fun at it. I’m in no way religious. Apologies if this is offensive to you. That’s my personality.Fantasy:
Pan’s Labyrinth; Harry Potter franchise; Cinderella (2015); Miss. Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children; Doctor StrangeForeign:
To immerse oneself into a foreign flick can be quite rewarding. For those who haven’t traveled for shit (me, me, me!) it takes you around the world virtually. As a reminder, traveling truly is exclusive. I’d do it if I acquired the funds.
Parasite; Mostly Martha; Pihu; BrooklynHistorical:
I’ve appreciated history once I’ve attended high school. History, I’d say, is subjective. Subjective like ones whom are after unicorn sloths versus unicorn cats. I’ll take the original–the unicorn–please.
Dunkirk; Jackie; 1917; The PrestigeHorror:
A wee I regretted sitting through. That scare factor, the bile coming up your throat. Yet your eyes linger to the screen when your insides are screaming to get out.
Get Out; Us; Oculus; Orphan; The Uninvited; Paranormal Activity; Midsommar; Freaky; The Shining; The Invisible Man (2020)
Hey, can I cut in like I have been and say what timing The Invisible Man had in coming out in 2020? Invisible but it’s there? Like the virus? Scary enough?
It Follows; Chernobyl Diaries; Run.; American Psycho
Honest, The Shining did not scare me to the core. I’ve played that on TV at least eight times. Unlike The Shining, Midsommar stayed with me negatively. If you aren’t prepared for that type of movie–ahem, cult–it might not be ya thing. That’s all I will say about that one.Sci-Fi:
Seriously depends. Are there aliens involved? Metamorphic zombies? If experiments are the substance of the film, humans turn out not to be humans, I’ll be there.
Hanna; Morgan; War for the Planet of the Apes (hello, Andy Serkis); Venom; Arrival; The Martian; PrometheusThriller
Difficult for me to think of here.
Panic Room; InceptionI intentionally left out “family,” “drama,” “holiday,” and “romance,” as those are cliché to me. There’s an abundance of them, to say the least.
What do you think of these genres/movies I listed? Any genres you can think of that aren’t usually a talking point? Say them below in the comments.
See ya ya ya!
