Are there any film genres you hate?

*Krutch* · 03-28-2016, 01:38 PM

I had a discussion with a friend of mine who insisted I watch True Grit, and while I'm almost always accepting to try out recommendations, I drew the line. I just can't do it.

I hate Westerns.

There's not even an exception to the rule for me. I can get into a long rant about the why but I'm just curious if anyone else has specific genres they just can't watch for some reason.

*AT-Man* · 03-28-2016, 01:47 PM

If I really had to dig, maybe some kind of art film genre?

*Candy Kappa* · 03-28-2016, 01:51 PM

I rarely watch drama movies.

*plastroncafe* · 03-28-2016, 02:09 PM

I don't normally go for Westerns or War movies, but there are notable exceptions:

True Grit, the modern one.
Unforgiven
Deadwood

Saving Private Ryan
Band of Brothers
The Great Escape
Three Kings
Generation Kill

I also tend to stay away from anything that looks like it might be a d!ck flick.

I don't hate them, but comedies rarely make me laugh.

*snake* · 03-28-2016, 02:17 PM

I don't watch romcom movies

Westerns are f*cking awesome, y'all don't know what you're talking about

*GoldMutant* · 03-28-2016, 02:53 PM

Currently, it's mostly horror, musicals, and comedies. They're not horrible but not my cup of tea, especially comedies despite being subjective in overall humor where I often don't laugh.

*CyberCubed* · 03-28-2016, 05:22 PM

I don't care for horror films really, especially all those boring ones with teenagers or young 20 year olds all being brutally slashed and killed by people in masks. Even ones with ghosts/monsters don't tend to do it for me either.

I don't care for dramas with no action. Usually nonsense where some woman is dealing with an abusive husband and tries to free herself and her kids from tyranny. Why would anyone want to watch oppressive women essentially being slaves to men? Its so boring and overdone.

I also don't care for "real movies." I need action. I can't stomach two characters staring each other down with words and lawsuits.

I hate Romance movies. I just feel uncomfortable whenever a friend or family member is watching one in my presence.

*CyberCubed* · 03-28-2016, 05:31 PM

Yeah romances are pretty dull too, romantic comedies can be slightly better though.

Adam Sandler movies. There's comedies... And then there's this overpayed lad... I can't watch any of his films

Video game movies aren't good... At all

And most comedies don't make me laugh

*ProactiveMan* · 03-29-2016, 04:37 AM

I don't think there is an entire genre that I hate.

*Wildcat* · 03-29-2016, 04:40 AM

I don't know if I hate them but war, victorian era and similar movies do not interest me. I consider myself pretty open too but when I come across these they just turn me off.

I don't like writing off movies so easily it's just I'm not into war or really old eras.

*Prowler* · 03-29-2016, 04:46 AM

I don't hate any genre per se, but there's definitely genres where I don't find many works that I enjoy.

That's a pretty general statement. "Drama" is a very versatile genre that can be found in many movies. A war or sci-fi movie can also be a drama. As can a comedy even. Could you be more specific?

Yeah horror movies don't do anything for me. I don't get it why teenagers and young adults love them so much. Especially those girls who scream in panic every 2-3 minutes. Are they masochistic or something? I did like The Thing with Russel Crowe, though.

Romantic comedies usually fall under the "chick flick" label, though. So I'll pass on that genre. But yeah, not a fan of romance movies as a whole. Screw movies like Moulin Rouge and Dirty Dancing.

*Spike Spiegel* · 03-29-2016, 07:13 AM

Romantic comedies, chick flicks, and whatever subgenre of comedy "Animal House" is part of.

~~Etsyturtle2~~ · 03-29-2016, 07:19 AM

Found Footage.

*CyberCubed* · 03-29-2016, 01:02 PM

I don't care for teen movies either, but then again I am out of the target audience now. Even then just youtube the sex/nude scenes and skip the rest.

jbeeman85 · 03-30-2016, 06:48 AM

Found footage movies are the worst to me. I like being able to clearly see what is going on and not be sickened by shaky camera work. If I know ahead of time that a movie is in found footage style, I won't even watch it.

*Ninjinister* · 03-30-2016, 06:57 AM

Most sci-fi is booooooooooring

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 03-30-2016, 07:29 AM

Horror Movies, and also romantic Movies.

Alot of comedies as well, as they don't make me laugh.
