I guess I'm lucky because Mike also likes the Austen movies and will watch them with me.
I'll watch an action/guy type movie if there's some substance to it (heck, I even like some of them)-- or some other redeeming value. For instance, I didn't think Old School was funny, but I couldn't help laughing at Talladega Nights the other day. I will say that graphic violence disturbs me, and I don't like movies that have a lot of it. The exception would be certain war movies/series, like Band of Brothers, which was excellent. You want to talk about lack of substance? Why does a guy always laugh at seeing another guy get kicked/hit in the crotch? No matter how often it happens, it's always funny. That's what I don't get. |

If it's weird and disjointed, I like it. If it's action, yeah baby. If it's humorous, usually no. If it's dark and psychotic, so much the better. A chick that just masturbates the emotions is not for me. Epics are great and foreign films don't automatically disappoint me.

I like to watch all the Oscar nominees every year, and I can't remember the last one he sat through with me. But he *is* really good about watching the occasional silly romantic fluff with me. |

John Cusack films for me begin and end with Better Off Dead.
I have yet to something else of his that kept my attention beyond the opening credits. Oh, and for whoever said it, Princess Bride is not a chick flick, despite what the kid's Uncle says in his narrative about love, romance, blah, blah, blah... Its all about Innigo Montoyo, Iocaine, and Andre the Giant. Really, get a clue. |

Gross Pointe was awesome. Pride and Prejudice is one that I would never watch until the wife forced me and I actually enjoyed it except for there not being enough nudity or f-bombs.
I will admit it, I am a metrosexual...I enjoyed 'Notting Hill.' |

lol..I was totally kidding about the homo remakr Meanie.
In the spirit of full disclosure from time to time I've been known to like a good romance. Notting Hill was very well done. The Notebook *DISCLOSURE* -- It reminded me a lot of my Grandma and Grandpa. She had very aggressive Alzheimers in the late 70's and through the mid 80's before she finally passed away and My Grandpa took care of her by reading to her a lot and doing a lot of the same things the older characters in that story did. So yes....even the oft harshly worded opinionator RockyBalboa does have a soft side. I even admitted to liking Hitch because Kevin James character killed me. He was funny in that.

I can't sit through an action flick if it doesn't have substance to it -I will likely watch it though for the unintentional humor aspect. Say a film like Armagedon or Independence Day -two of the worst films EVER MADE. |
