Films

I love studio Ghibli films, any really, especially Spirited Away and Howls Moving Castle (I went and read that last year as I hadn't as a child). Princess Mononoke was the first I saw.

Enjoy Pixar movies too but less keen on all the sequels since the Disney take over. 

I've been waiting for my son to read Lord of the Rings, but he's resisted me so far, as I was hoping he would read it before we watched it with him. (He could do it in a couple of weeks at his reading speed if he chose to). I don't know if I've watched it since the original cinema release and then once on dvd. I did dress as an elf to go see it at 17.

I'm not always drawn to watch films, but I do enjoy it when we do. I enjoy an interesting story, I can't watch horror and not so bothered about effects films.

I rarely watch films, I prefer a series where you get to know the characters.

I do like a good martial arts film like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon.

I like really bad horror films like Attack the Block, Dog Soldiers and Cockney's vs Zombies.

I do love Gladiator too, I've not seen the new one though, I'm not sure if I want too?

Hi CW

Can you explain how you can enjoy horror movies? Im asking seriously as I need to understand personally about a traumatic event in my childhood where I thought I was going to see a regular space opera sci fi but it turned out to be so very damaging to me, something I can never un see, It was Alien, just released, and Id no idea what I was about to experience, even typing this so many years later I feel adrenaline and cortisol surging through my veins. My friends didn’t have the same reactions and enjoyed it, but I was there, in the cabin with the guy on the table about to be chest busted. Guess it was because I related to the characters in a way I never did later with the surrealism of Tarrantino. 

thanks
