It's got to be romantic comedies for me. Easy to watch and they always cheer you up. Whilst they can be predictable, you're pretty much always guaranteed a happy ending. Also, my husband will also watch them too without too much protest!

Here here... though sadly not for the last sentence. I have to bargain gaming time for less what one might describe as trash TV and / or romcoms.

Yes, for romantic comedies I'm definitely on my own or with a friend - no point asking OH as even if he came, the derisive snorts would disturb others - those or the snores. I mentioned to him that "Love Happens" was due soon and that it was a rom-com with Jennifer Aniston. He replied that the 4 words "Jennifer Aniston" and "rom-com" in the same sentence told him all he needed to know.

My husband fancies Jennifer Aniston, which is quite handy!

I picked exactly the same three as you andrews! Give me a good thriller / drama then I'm all set. And I don't necessarily mean a period drama, but some of those are quite good.

Westerns, like horrors / and some Sci fi are on my all time worst list - so I didn't even realise it was missing from the options. I can't even think of one Western that I've seen and enjoyed.

I picked Thriller, comedy and romantic comedy.

I like action as well depending on the film and a drama if it's good so I struggled picking 3!

Don't like most horror and sci fi

Init though, I totally agree!

I've never even seen a documentary film - can't say I'd want to though!

I seem to be the only one but documentary gets one of my votes - I really enjoyed Food Inc and Yes Men Fix the World.

My other votes went to horror and foreign language/world cinema - I have rather eclectic taste!
