It didn't occur to you that some people watch Action films? You could probably add Thriller as well, or at least one of the two.

Thriller is my favourite genre, next to horror and sci-fi.

Yes, The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson (assuming you're referring to his version) is a good trilogy, but it doesn't do justice to the books which are much better.

1. I don't go by genre. I was writing a large review on the good and bad points of each genre, but I don't have time for that now so I'll just leave it at this answer. ;)

A list of my favorite movies to show what I like from each genre:

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest (drama)
Fight Club (comedy/thriller)
The Shawshank Redemption (drama)
Once Upon a Time in the West (western)
Lord of the Rings (fantasy)
Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain (comedy/romance)
Se7en (thriller/crime)
Full Metal Jacket (war)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (comedy)
The Green Mile (fantasy/drama)
Forrest Gump (drama/comedy)
La Vita È Bella (comedy/war)
Howl's Moving Castle (animation/fantasy)
Alien (horror/sci-fi)

Note: This is not a full list. Just one I could put together by following that top 250 list on imdb and picking my favs from it. I could come up with other movies not on that list, but it would make my list too large.

Needs more Tarantino, Kubrick and Coen. :p
Recently I've been looking a bit more into animated movies too.

2. Yes, I like lotR. Though I don't like how it spawned a large amount of rip-offs and how my father seems to think I'm interested in them because they are like LotR.

I get the feeling Avatar will be hyped to the point where people start being anti-Avatar. I've seen the movie in the cinema and have to say it was a dissapointment after hearing masses say it was the "best movie they had ever seen". All the praise made me expect a brilliant movie and even though I found it enjoyable I couldn't help but spot the flaws (and I'm not talking about the originality of the storyline here).

Just saying that you shouldn't go watch it with that 'I'm going to watch the best movie ever' feeling if that's why you were going to watch it. :p

PS: Don't turn this into an Avatar thread now please.

Me too. District 9 had a much better plot. And Avatar is more of technical demonstration of what you can achieve in these days.

Crime - Well I watch mostly crime series, so Navy CIS.

Fantasy - Lord or the rings, Harry Potter.

Sci-Fi - District 9, Star trek, Avatar

Favorite genres and favorite movies from each genre :) But yea, I don't like one genre better than the others.

I thought Avatar was alright... a bit too long, he spent over $250 million making that movie, and i kinda expected much more... i know the CGI was amazing, but the plot just reminded me of a futuristic plot about native americans :p hehe

As for District 9, it was pretty cool, it was supposed to be the halo movie :p but when peter jackson saw how terrible the director did, he ditched it off and made district 9 :D hehe

Everyones a Critic :p

There is a movie thread, I'd recommend using it. I realize you probably want a poll, but genre polls are simply too general to represent peoples opinions. Simply ask the question in the stickied thread.
