Movies205, Film Psychiatrist, Step on Up and I’ll Analyze Your Movie Tastes!

[Movies205]

1. The Long Good Friday
2. One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest
3. Goodfellas
4. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
5. The Departed

10. Dog Day Afternoon

Your a fan of the crime genre, it interests you how many different ways one can tackle the crime genre, your a fan of post-modern cinema which references and plays off older films, however to you it's not the end all be all of film, and you still appriciate the classics. Your a man who like both a good deal of style and story, they both need to be there, without style the story will seem bland, without story the style will just become boring. Your inclusion of The Good, The Bad, and the UGly & One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest highlight this duality since one is all about style and the other is all about story, since hte rest of films you mention are in the crime genre.

I said 10 Your an 80s man, even the films you pick which aren't from the 80s are 80esque, Equilibrium, Superman: The Movie, AMerican Psycho, and Halloween. What does the 80s really mean though? We'll start with the protagonist, which always has to be a bad-ass, showy, or in more approiate terms larger than life, and out to do things, that we'd never do in real life. Also the characters are usually set against a rather grim, gritty, backdrop making for an interesting juxoposition which makes them easier to relate to and more heroic/ideal. Which leaves us to the main secret of the 80s, style is very important to you as well, story can and usually does take a backseat. However that doesn't mean you don't like the occasional character study, Breakfast Club, deeply metaphorical, Videodrome, but you prefer to be kept on the edge of your seat with badass character.

 

[Dark Donnie]

Your a fan of movie magic, you like seeing things you can't see in everyday life. However you need a good solid character to anchor the story, the character needs to be interesting, entertaining, and most of empathetic, you want to feel there pain or at the very least see things through there eyes. You also appriciate a good twist ending but not at the expense of story, it needs to flow, and so it doesn't have to be there but when it is and when it fits just right, it's awesome. You like movies that make you think well after you see them, however you also like a movie that leave you satisfied, in the end it's about balanace and making an entertaining film.

Very nice review

Nice review. Could've told you some of those things on my own, but you put it far better than I could
