Weepies. Soap Operas. Romance. Romantic Comedies. Love Stories.
I like a chick flick no matter what you call it. I would rather spend two hours in a dark room looking up at beautiful women than spend the same time looking at Arnold with a machine gun or Bruce with a revolver. But if some guys prefer to watch other men- to each his own.
I won't downgrade that guy. He can pretend he is his favorite action hero and I can pretend I am spending the evening with my favorite starlet. I don't mind action movies at all. Sure, I was push to see "Die Hard" by a friend, but I was just as entertained as everyone else in the theater.
I prefer movies with good characterizations and if the choice is a chick flick or an action movie, I will go with Meg Ryan over Bruce Willis any day. Chick flicks are formulic like action movies and this is the appeal. You know what to expect, just not quite sure how it will be presented.
Epic dramas, human dramas and fantasy/adventures are my favorite type of movies. Musicals and horror are at the other end of the scale. I do like my "Passage to India", but I did see "Beaches" not once.. but twice at the theaters. "Die Hard"? Just that one time. Skipped the sequels.
