My favorite genre would be Science Fiction and fantasy as if it is well done it makes me escape reality and live with the characters in another world… it doesn't have to be too serious thought as a light hearted movie or serie or even anime are always welcome!
Thrillers, especially neo-noir movies. My favorite thrillers are the ones that make you think and try to figure out how it is going to end, such as Chinatown, Vertigo, The Fugitive, Frantic, Strangers on a Train, the Commuter. All great movies.
Medieval, fantasy or anything historical about the middle ages is what I tend to go for.
I've been leaning toward documentaries more often, it seems. In my 20s, I was all about Disney movies or thrillers. I still love to watch them, but now I prefer true crime or supernatural documentaries.
I'm into mobster stories like the Godfather trilogy, The Untouchables. Also historical war movies like Saving Private Ryan and the Band of Brothers. It just takes me away to those periods of terror, bravery and heroism.
