Define your personal taste through the movies you really like

List some of the movies you find really interesting and wish to to see more of their genre as it resembles the epitome of your personal taste in movies.

also mine would be:

Matrix 1

Limitless

Jumper

The man from earth

Eraserhead
Mulholland Drive
2001
Dark City
Cube

I like weird, surreal, dreamlike movies, mix that with sci-fi, philosophy and a touch of horror and I'm in heaven!

Too many to pick just a couple...

.

The Man from Nowhere (this is probably my favorite right now)

Kick-Ass

Letters from Iwo Jima

Munich (2005)

Batman: Under the Red Hood

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

Superbad

Halloween (2008)

Fun with Dick and Jane (2005)

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I don't really have anything specific when it comes to personal taste in movies. As long as the movie can keep me thinking and actively interested and doesn't have terrible acting or blatant plot holes I'll probably like it to some degree.

Drag Me To Hell

Jurrasic Park Trilogy

Halloween

The Shining

The Thing Trilogy

Pretty much a nerd when it comes to sci-fi and my two fav comic book universes/heroes.

Eternal Sunshine Of the Spotless mind

Drive

Boogie Nights

Magnolia

Blue Valentine

Black Dynamite.

Variety of films and they are not all of them. There is alot of films I seen and enjoyed. I guess represents my varied interests and always wanting to do new things. I do love films that have deeper meaning or have some relevance to me or are just great spoofs or funny to me.

Wayne's World (1 and 2)

Clueless

Mean Girls

Napoleon Dynamite

South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut

Sense and Sensibility

John Tucker Must Die

Peter Pan (Both Disney and the 2003 remake)

That's all I can think of at the moment, but I do like a lot more :p

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Serenity
Fistful of Dollars
Pulp Fiction
Drive
Inception
Moon
District 9
The Tree of Life
The Thin Red Line
Jules et Jim
The Bourne Ultimatum
Police Story/anything Jackie Chan
Buster Keaton's The General
Avatar

Off the top of my head... I'm definitely more a journey-not-the-destination kind of viewer. Raiders is still my benchmark for action films today and it's still exciting/intense to me. It's gritty and chock-full of personality and charisma, kind of like other films on my list like Fistful/Pulp Fiction... the same reasons go for Bourne, Jackie Chan, and Buster Keaton (essentially Jackie of the 20s). Creative and fun, and hard-hitting. Would probably lump Avengers in this category too.

I love Drive and Moon because they work with a couple of concepts and stick to their guns, and the movies are more akin to tone poetry and very atmospheric (hence the two Malick films I've included). This is probably the space where I'd include the Matrix, but I've become really sick of bullet-time fighting over the past few years that the action scenes don't hold up for me, so I've put Inception instead. Still very cool sci-fi concepts.

I also just really like visual spectacle. Transformers would be great if I could actually see wtf was going on. People give Avatar grief for being shallow and/or boring, but I was kind of blown away the first time I watched it. Same with District 9 (and Serenity). If a movie can take me to my sci-fi nerd nirvana, I've got a place for it on my list.

Hunger

Amelie

The Seventh Seal

The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

City Lights

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Control

Army of Darkness

Mullohalnd Dr.

Fargo

My tastes are a bit all over the place.

LOTR

Aliens

Halloween

Jaws

Harry Potter

The Nightmare before Christmas

I saw the Devil

Dirty Dancing (don't judge)

I like most kinds of movies and will give almost anything a try. It's easier to pick out what kinds of movies I don't like (generic rom-coms/chick flicks, most westerns, etc.).

Here are some of my favorites:
-Vertigo
-Videodrome
-The Conversation
-Der Himmel über Berlin
-The Tenant
-Dog Day Afternoon
-Taxi Driver
-The King of Comedy
-Fargo
-Barton Fink
-Persona
-Harold and Maude
-Intermission
-Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
-The Devils
-Dead Ringers
-Magnolia
etc.
