Romance - Roman Holiday (1953)

reply

Good pick. I'm not a fan of romance either and while Roman Holiday isn't one on my favourite movies, I shockingly gave it a 9/10on IMDb.

Don’t tell me what to do, I will list THREE!

I don’t care for musicals but always enjoyed Grease, West Side Story and Fiddler On The Roof.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 15 days ago

I like West Side Story enough. Never seen Fiddler on the Roof. And you know how I feel about Grease.

Have you got chills?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 15 days ago

Yes and they're multiplying.

Are you losing control?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 15 days ago

Only by the power you're supplying.

[–] AndyKing1967 (34397) 15 days ago

Is it electrifying?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 15 days ago

Yes and now I better shape up.

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (34397) 15 days ago

Is it because you…um…need a man?

Wait! What? Is this right? 🤔

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Right oh then, carry on.

The exorcism of Emily Rose.

I love horror but I'm not a fan of exorcism films. This one is the exception.

Chick Flicks - First Wives Club

Action - die hard

Rom com - when Harry met Sally

Musical - chicago

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 14 days ago

Chicago isn't one of my favourite movies, but I did like it. For once the music in a musical actually advanced the story.

reply

[–] Where (1293) 14 days ago

Animated - Up
Superhero - Joker
Musical - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Horror - The Shining
Romcom - When Harry Met Sally

I think I only really like dramas and documentaries, all other films are exceptions.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 14 days ago

I started a post on the Joker boards a while back and not many considered it a superhero movie. There's no super powers and no actual hero. I think that's why you liked it so much.

reply

[–] Where (1293) 14 days ago

Good point.

I can't think of a genre I like/watch less than romantic comedy, well, I suppose straight romance, but I can't think of any. Anyway, I love:

Love, Actually (2003) and Ghost Town (2008).

I’m guessing this movie is best described as a late 90s comedy / romance / drama, which is a genre I definitely don’t watch often at all. Someone here recommended Buffalo 66 (1998) a few years back and I fell in love with it. I’ve seen it around 5 or 6 times now, bought the DVD, a tshirt, poster and quote lines from it whenever the situation arises.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (51786) 14 days ago

It makes sense that you'd like it because Vincent Gallo is in it and if you add an "i" in his last name you get "giallo".

reply

[–] Mrmojo4700 (20567) 14 days ago

I should have known there was something subliminally attracting me to it this whole time! I’m going to play the soundtrack backwards now, just in case.
