Are there any specific movies you've avoided seeing or a specific genre? Or the gruesome and scarier and gorier the better?

Never saw Taxi Driver. Or Mean Streets. Or any SLASHER movies GORY movies or movies about weirdos scumbags bottom feeders...unless I got snookered into it by deceitful advertising. I don't like to be terrified disgusted or be exposed to depravity. There is enough of that in our day-to-day lives with this gubment and the monster in control of it. Don't need to go anywhere for more of the same.

    I do not ever watch any gory horror film unless films are historic and based on actually facts....A must view War film called the Rape of Nanking ...It was shot in B&W and is the most horrific evil film I've ever seen....It's what the Jappenese did to all the Chinese people when they over run Nanking ....They slaughtered a million Chinese people including all men ,women of all ages as well as all childred and babies....
    It was quite destroying to watch and I had to make myself sit through it....
    I liked Saving Private Ryan so much to....there were a few parts of the film that were so very very well done....The lady that watched a army staff car drive up to her home and her legs failed her....
    The little girl hitting her dad after the wall fell down soon after the rediculous sniper shot through a telescopic rifle sight...The film was sill excellent though and so very thought provoking..

    I watched again a few days ago the French subtitled films "Jean De Florette & Manon Des Sources" The most amazing heart rendering films ever...

    Im desperate to see again the old b/w 1932 French 4 hour long film called Les Miserables ...it was simply spell binding ,but try as I may I can't seem to find it anywhere....Most of the remakes are not worth watching 

    I loved Overboard with Golldie Horn and Kurt Russle....so funny...
    So many of the old films are the best...

    You are braver than I am D. By far. There are some movies I simply cannot watch. Whether based on truth or fantasy they stay with me and cause nightmares. I cannot even almost imagine having lived what some people have lived. Watching a depiction of it is unbearable. Good for you though. I salute you for being able to do that. I saw "Overboard" and I don't really remember it but I think that's where Goldie and Kurt hooked up and have stayed hooked. Who can possibly dislike Goldie Hawn or Kurt for that matter? I like comedies. I really like ones that are laced with fantasy. There was a movie with Jim Carrey in which he always told lies and his nephew wished that he would be forced to tell the truth. It was hilarious! Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Here is how much of a wimp I am. I cannot watch those ads for animals in shelters who have been victims of abuse. The camera zeroes in on their eyes that are ALWAYS so very sad. Many of them are shaking and frightened. In just typing these words I see them and I can't take it. So I'm a coward. :(

    All those adds for water for Africa ,kids starving ,are just a huge con Rosie...I have family members that worked for Men Cap...the high ups in that Charity are £1,000,000 a year and that was 12 years plus ago....
    The Salvation Army offices are north of London bridge in the City of London....They are the plushest offices imaginable...and their unpaied charity workers are out collecting money for nothing every day still..
    There is not a charity hardly in England that is not about making cash for one high up or another....

    They all take money from those that  an hardly afford to give any....our government lets it happen as they rake in millions from it to....

    Historical/biographical dramas Sp or pure fiction?

    I LOVE musicals. Grew up on them. I wonder if they will ever return with the likes of another Gene Kelly Fred Astaire Donald O'Connor Eleanor Powell Ann Miller Cyd Charisse etcetera etcetera etcetera. Oh Ginger Rogers Debbie Reynolds too. Song and dance men and women. Those were the days! Gone forever or just taking a break? Thank you for your reply and Happy Sunday to thee Sp! :)

    The genre of movies I refuse to watch include: war, slasher/splatter (i.e. graphic violence), vampire, horror, thriller, zombie, biographical, tear jerkers, pornographic, or that teen toilet-humor junk.   I don't really care for chick-flicks or musicals, but I'm not against watching a real good one.

    I enjoy science fiction movies (real science fiction, not that "thriller/horror stuff), adventure movies, and comedies (but not nasty comedies).  Movies like - Star Trek, Airplane!, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Avatar, The Secret Life of Pets, and Ratatouille.  

    I watch movies to be entertained, or to be transported to another land (imagination).  Not to be grossed out, depressed or made sad. This post was edited by Shuhak at February 9, 2020 2:36 PM MST
