OT: Would you say you have


Eclectic taste in movies and music? I personally like thrillers/action/horror the most. Enjoy comedy and drama quite a bit too. Seen some good sports movies too. There's even a few "chick flicks" I like. For music I like rock and the most but also enjoy pop. Johnny Cash is the only country I like even tho most of the songs I like by him aren't very countryish. I like a little rap mostly older stuff like from Jay Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Nelly, Usher.

Nothing to do with Glass, but... I think many people have varied tastes. I don't like any one particular type of art exclusively. I'm probably least into the action/thriller/horror genres, but I can appreciate the ones that seem to be made with substance. Musically I'm all over the place, too.

Which ones would you say your the most into then? Drama?Comedy? Romance? Western? War? Documentary?

Tough to pick any one, and categories like drama can be so broad. If it helps, earlier this month some friends and I took turns listing our 10 favorite films. Here's what I came up with:

1 The Seven Samurai
2 Pulp Fiction
3 The Lady Eve
4 Trainspotting
5 Gold Diggers of 1933
6 North by Northwest
7 The Sting
8 The Hudsucker Proxy
9 Unforgiven
10 The Thin Man

My favorite director of all time is Preston Sturges, master of the screwball comedy, but I wouldn't say I like comedies more than other genres. I just like HIS comedies. Howard Hawks is up there for me, along with John Ford, Woody Allen, and Alfred Hitchcock. My favorite modern directors are Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and the Coen Bros.

My tastes are definitely eclectic. I watch some of everything, including a ton of documentaries.

But certainly some genres I like more than others. Horror and comedy tend to be near the low-end, and I watch horror movies only very occasionally and my tastes are pretty specific. On the other end of the scale, the action genre has always been my go-to genre, my baby, my comfort food if you will. If I'm in a bad mood I can sit down and watch even an average action film and it will usually make me feel a little better.

Where conversations like this start to get complicated is when you start introducing genres that are really hybrids by nature. Take fantasy, for instance. I believe every fantasy movie I've seen--at least nearly every one--is also an action movie. The Lord of the Rings films, for instance, are great fantasy movies but they're also excellent action films. But they are sequestered away in the fantasy genre, separate from action.
