Challenge: What are your favorite movie genres? Share some recommendations with your readers!


As a child, some of my absolute favourite movies were Labyrinth (with David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly), Fern Gully: the Last Rainforest (with Robin Williams), and The Emerald Forest (with Charlie Booth). I guess the big crossover between these three point to my interests - Labyrinth and Fern Gully are both fantasy/adventure, and Fern Gully (for all it has Robin Williams as a rapping lab-escapee bat) and The Emerald Forest are both commentaries on human nature and carry very important messages about nature and the environment.

I guess in terms of genre, my tastes are still broadly similar now as they were when I was a child (Avon from Blakes 7 was and still is my weird celebrity crush). I still love the comedy and athletic skill of Jackie Chan (albeit more his Hong Kong action days and less his Hollywood slapstick). James Bond still makes me roll my eyes - but that won't stop me from seeing each new release in the cinema.
It was more Disney than Pixar/Dreamworks growing up (I'm a Beauty & the Beast, Aladdin, Lion King, & Jungle Book era kid), but I'll never turn down a film night with Shrek or the Ice Age crew, and Moana spends more time on my music playlist than a 30-something should ever admit to.
