Also: I like all James Bond movies (by the way, the Bond franchise and the 22 existing films in the catalog ARE IMHO the best, most successful franchise in movie history- something many people think belongs to other franchises they are enthusiastic about- but they are mistaken), I like Jim Carrey comedies, John Candy comedies, Danny Kaye comedies, Monty Python comedies, Leslie Nielsen comedies, Pink Panther comedies, ANYTHING with Humphrey Bogart, ... & i like some older 80's anime too but I'm not obsessive or a huge anime fan… My favorite genres are epics, sci-fi, fantasy, action, adventure, some art house and supernatural realism movies.
