Hmmmm, as much as I love movies, this is definitely a difficult question to answer. I always have a list of what my favorite movies are, generally speaking, but rarely do I break stuff down by genre. I typically just like what I like. I will do my best to answer, however.
Horror - Truthfully, I didn't really start getting into this genre until my late twenties. Not because I ever had a problem with it or was afraid, but because most of the horror movies I saw growing up were always cheesy and laughable, and so that's just what I always thought horror was. It wasn't until later on I learned that horror can be incredibly entertaining, clever, and intriguing. I'd say my current favorites are all really new things?
Hereditary, Get Out (although whether this is "horror" or more just "thriller" is absolutely debatable). I thought
The Devils was damn whackadoodle, though again I question whether it is actually horror. Also a fan of
Silence of the Lambs, though this answer is telling me I think I just prefer thrillers over horror? Hm.
Comedy - Easy.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail. No contest. The first time I saw it I was fucking changed as a human being.
Clue is also one that always makes me giggle.
Action - Not a huge action fan, though I do like superhero movies which I suppose count? Not into stuff like the
James Bond or
Mission Impossible franchises, but superhero stuff is always fun.
The Dark Knight, Thor: Ragnarok, and
Doctor Strange are my personal favorites.
Favorite films of mine that do not fit into the specified categories:
Pan's Labyrinth, 500 Days of Summer, Amelie, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Little Miss Sunshine, V for Vendetta, Dial M for Murder, and pretty much anything starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
This will make Nyco gag five ways to Sunday, but sushi. I. Love. Sushi. I would eat it every single day if it weren't so expensive.
Hmmmm, this is an excellent question. I think I'm particularly fond of sphinxes, they're tricky and riddly and fun. I tend to be quite fond of anything that tries to mess with humans in some way.
Okay, time to return the favor!
