1.) A Christmas Story. When I was a little kid my parents were watching the movie and I walked in on the scene when the boy got his tongue stuck to the cold pole. From that day forward I refused to watch the movie (or stick my tongue on a cold pole in winter).
2.) I tend to be pretty open with my movie selections. I like Anime, Action/Adventure, some Romance, Documentary (especially war ones) , Independent, Crime, Drama, Fantasy/Sci-Fi, Teen, and Mystery/Thriller.
3.) I've never been all that interested in Comedy, Horror, Western, or Classics. I don't like musicals all the time, but some of them I very much enjoy.
4.) My favorites are for sure the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Harry Potter Series, Perks of Being a Wallflower, It's Kind of a Funny Story, Cyberbully, and many more of course.
5.) I love any story that has great characterization. By doing this the movie brings you to better understand the character's motives, even when their choices seem poor. Additionally, I am a fan of movies that are able to teach something to it's viewers. Though fantasy movies may seem trivial, some of my favorites from this genre I feel do a great job of bringing in many important lessons. Finally, I enjoy movies that do something different. I want something that isn't mainstream or seen before, originality.
6.) On the other hand, movies I consider to be pretty bad are monster movies like Piranahs due to their seemingly lack of plot or reality. Overall though, I usually stick to my favorite genres and don't have a problem with bad movies.
7.) For me, bad movies usually have these 3 really awful characteristics. First, they tend to be very unrealistic. Though I love fiction, it is still very much possible to make a movie that is relatable and realistic in some sense of the word. Second, I can not stand movies that have no plot and are just brainless slasher movies. Third, I have no desire to watch a movie that is poorly made. This ranges from a bad script to bad acting and etc. Though on occasion a obviously fake looking fight scene can be looked past if the whole of the movie is a winner in the other areas of judging. Movies like V for Vendetta that had good acting and plot but lacked when it came to some of the fight scenes are still considered great.
8.) I have seen many movies by Peter Jackson of course, as well as Tim Burton and Steven Spielberg.
9.) As for actors, I am not very up-to-date with Hollywood and the actors, but I do believe that Jeremy Irons, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, and Ed Harris are Great male actors. I love a great many more though, male and female.
10.) Though I am definitely not a movie expert, I would say Schindler's List is an important one, as well as the original Christmas Carol and something by Woody Allen.
11.) For me, I've seen Singin' in The Rain (1952) and The Wizard of Oz (1939)
12.) For me, I would say Perks of Being a Wallflower because the movie had a lot of personal meaning and was well done, and had great insight.
13.) I'm really itching to see Lincoln, Les Miserables, Lee Daniels' The Butler, Life of Pi, and The King's Speech. Some of these I realize are old, but I never got around to seeing them and I heard they were really good.
