As the title insists.

Personally I enjoy Horror. =D American horror movies can get really cheesy at times, but my true horror passion is those crazy Asian movies. They have a tendency to make the movie really bloody and gory, but actually have a really nice plot line and story and character development. One of my favorite horror/action movies is Battle Royale.

"In future Japan, the government captures a class of ninth-grade students and forces them to kill each other under the revolutionary "Battle Royale" act."

I enjoy a range of films to be honest, I love a good comedy (not a cheesey american comedy) but enjoy action and sci-fi, not a big horror fan *wets pants*.

Horror would be my favorite genre. I'm not a big movie buff so I can't name a lot of movies. Out of the ones I've seen, I really liked:

Battle Royale
One Missed Call: Final
Ichi The Killer
Audition
Dark Water(The Japanese version)
Saw

I don't think Ichi The Killer counts as horror though... there's nothing horrific about it. It's so over the top it may as well be an action movie with a lot of gore.

Oh shoot, I forgot Kairo on my list of favorite horrors. Kairo was remade into the critically panned Pulse.

I like thrillers, dark comedies, satirical comedies (none of that Adam Sandler family comedy shit), Monty Python comedies (they deserve their own class of film) and docu-dramas.

Favourite films - The Godfather (trilogy), Das Boot, Apocalypse Now, The Shawshank Redemption, Scarface, Reservoir Dogs, Battle Royale, Life of Brian, Meaning of Life, Holy Grail, The Shining (although the book was better), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Silence of the Lambs.

Not films, but still epic:

Monty Python's Flying Circus, Not the Nine O'Clock News, The Young Ones, Peep Show, LOST, Heroes, Spitting Image (will never grow old).

You forgot Platoon

Yeah... Ichi The Killer was a good movie. But REALLY bloody. I also wasn't a big fan of the comical special effects.
