I'm sure I'm less fun to watch a movie with than before, but I will watch almost anything these days.

I find there is more to learn from a bad film than a great one. While watching a crappy flick, I can feel missed opportunities and poor decisions and hopefully aviod making the same mistakes in the future.

I love cheesy low budget movies....I love horror, sci-fi, westerns, action, kids movies, anime.....I'm less picky because most of the time I can find something endearing about what I'm watching.

I'll watch anything, even if I dont think Im gonna like it. If I have a chance to watch a movie, I'll take it no matter what we're going to see.

If Im watching a movie alone Im more picky than that...but really, I just love watching movies.

Asian films, black and whites, "mature" sci-fi...never gave those much of a chance, now some are among my favourite films.
With that, I've left behind a few crappy "explosion" films...loved those as a kid, now I just find them a chore.
I generally won't judge a film 'til I've watched it, but yes...I don't find I'm generally as satisfied with movies these days...I expect thats the deal with a lot of people, as you grow, you figure out your tastes...etc.
Well said...

I certainly would not be watching some of things that I do if it hadn't been for say, my older brother, who has incredible taste in film or a friend saying, "I know you're not into (insert genre), but I just bought this, and I thought..." Also, my horror tastes have expanded by my exposure to or through (take your pick:D ) this forum.

However, my taste in "horror" itself is leaning more towards films like "The Ring" and less towards films like "The Devil's Rejects." It isn't because one director is better per-se, but more because of the stories. You know, because films are stories... moving pictures. As I said in a previous thread, there are too many violent sociopathic people in the real world, so I'd rather not "escape" to a world filled with the same kind of people. I'd rather be frightened/intrigued by something else that isn't a part of this "daily reality" type thing.

Also, if I may ramble on... I want to watch a movie to be entertained. If there happens to be a deep underlying point about the tragedy of the human subconscience, great. If not, I don't give a shit, as long as it was a good story, and I was entertained. For example, many of you greatly dislike M. Night Shyamalan. Sure, he's campy, but the fucker tells a good story, and that's something that I appreciate (and the fact that he casts Bryce Dallas Howard a lot. She's purdy:) ).

I'll watch anything...from Driving Miss Daisy to Nekromantik.

And I'll enjoy most.

(For the record, I love DMD and hate Nekro...)

Well I'm 18 and I am not too picky. Some movies just suck and as mentioned earlier in this thread, I can tolerate most movies but not really the new horror as much. We all know it, the new age horror movies(except for a few gems).....suck. I love everything from the classics to 2006 anything and everything.

More picky. After seeing the same crappy kind of movie for the hundredth time, I can tolerate it less each time.
Also, when younger, I didn't really know all the good movies I know now, so I had less to compare to.

I know I have very little interest in current films. Maybe some are good, but I am less and less inclined to want to see the new stuff because of recent experiences. I tend to watch older films far more. And I seek out a lot of older bad movies because those are basically my favorite stuff to watch.

Good films tend to make me think, and most of the time I just want to relax; and a really funny bad movie, or just a quirky old weird movie, allows me to relax.
