I have preference for depressing tales, dark humor, exploration of mental issues (both cause and effect of such) and low budget horror (for the creativity that is sometimes spawns), My prefered genres are psychological thriller.
My love of psychological thrillers is likely based on my love of the psychological and understanding how and why we behave how we do.
I will occasionally enjoy other forms of cinema (like monty python (who doesn’t love monty python?))
I don’t know why I’ve only just seen this post now?! lol
Anyway.
As a drama/film student, I pretty much like every genre. But I typically watch fantasy or comedy. Sometimes drama, action, romance, horror. Depends on what mood I’m in. But I can appreciate a good film, no matter what the genre.
