Yeah I have seen very few that have stayed good. I think the best number to stop at is three.

ROCKSTAR

Three is the perfect number IMO. There will always be longer adaptations given the 'one book one movie' model, but most franchises should definitely stop at three.

I usually avoid most Martial Arts/Western movies. I mean, I have seen quite a few and only a handful I liked.

Films that are mostly CGI, I miss the old days when there was a mix of the computer and the hands off stuff. Like miniature figures, puppets, map drawling, optical illusions. CGI can be great, but not when it's overused. Things in moderation is good.

Horror films about ghosts, devils, possessions and evil spirits. I mean, I can handle the ones about possessed toys but I'm just too chicken for the rest.

Oh, and any film about clowns. I hate 'em.

ROCKSTAR

CGI is cool and all, but all the movies look and feel the same! That sense of individuality and personality has been lost, I fear, for good.

cherrios

Me too, which I think is one of the reasons I love the stop-motion movies. Because you can see the hard work and hands on as they move the clay figures.

Sappy, chick flicks.

ROCKSTAR

That's a great point.

I tend to avoid overly romantic chick flicks, spacey sci-fi, artsy films and computer animated/pixar films.

Why? I just usually don't enjoy those type of movies. I cringe at lovey-dovey stuff (most of the time), I don't enjoy futuristic things or when aliens come into play, artsy usually means pretentious and painfully dull, and I prefer traditional animation (plus, most of the computer animated ones are way too loud and obnoxiously in-your-face).

The overly romantic chick flicks, I just can't do them for the most part. Most of them are too sappy, too cliche, too predictable.

Rhovanion

Yup, indeed! Of course I like some films that would be classified as chick flicks. But like you said, most are way too cliche and predictable.

Dance movies. Hollywood's done well in one or two - Dirty Dancing but it's usually awful, embarrassing with tacky romantic sub-plot i.e. Step Up series etc.

Also HATE almost All remakes so I just tend to avoid them what's the point when you are continuously comparing everything in your head?

I'm not good with slapstick movies either. Immature

ROCKSTAR

Haha, yeah. Dance movies are entirely predictable.

EyeOfTheTiger

I'm a woman, yes...but I tend to avoid chick flicks unless it has a certain favorite actress of mine.
They tend to be SO similar, hehe. Maybe romantic comedies but that is sometimes only.

My favorites are: Horrors, Thrillers, Action & Adventure. Comedies

Not a fan of Dramas either, it would have to be of a topic that I'm interested in.

And I don't do Dance movies either, LOL.
