Now That's My Type of Movie

I am not picky when it comes to movies, however I do prefer one type over any other. I really enjoy fantasy and its imaginary world. There shouldn’t be much romance in it, I don’t like romance. The hero or main character should be a normal, everyday person that would normally receive little to no attention. Of course, with fantasy, you should have fantasy creatures including dragons, wizards, fairies, warlocks, or other completely made up creatures. I watch movies for entertainment, and to get out of reality for a temporary time.

I recently watched a movie during the past weekend that was the perfect fit to my standards of a good movie, and it is new. It is titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Bilbo Baggins, not anyone special or of interest embarked on a dangerous adventure to help out some new found dwarf friends, accompanied by a wizard. Here is a link:

The Wizard of Oz is also a great movie, and even though it was released in 1939, it is still well known and adored today. The movie is based off a book by L. Frank Baum in 1900.Dorothy is whisked away to another land where she meets creatures unknown to her. What is most interesting is that the well known song "Over the Rainbow" was nearly cut from the movie. This song has won an Oscar for Judy Garland (Dorothy) who was 16 at the time. The song was also voted the greatest movie song of all time by the American Film Institute. Even today, there are so many adaptations and different versions of the well known movie.

    You can never go wrong with The Wizard of Oz. I guess compared to The Hobbit, they're both an unexpected adventure.

    I like your title :) Also I did not know Over the Rainbow was cut nearly from the movie. Why is this?

    I agree with you that usually romance isn't very enjoyable in most movies, and movies with romance as the ONLY plotline are extremely boring.

    I have also recently seen the new Hobbit movie, and I agree that is a really good movie. I'm glad you chose a very new movie because I think most people chose older movies. But new movies can be really good too. Movies coming out today could be classics later.

    I enjoy the fantasy type movies because of all the new worlds that they are able to create, especially with today's technology. I like the adventure that often times goes along with these movies.

    I haven't seen the Hobbit yet but really want to many people have told me it is good. I agree with watching movies to get away from reality for a little while.

    I too like fiction. I have not seen The Hobbit yet but it looks good and I heard that it follows the book quite well. The Wizard of Oz is an amazing film for its time and I think that it is one of my favorite classic movies.

    I like how you said "get out of reality temporary" that why i also like to watch superhero movies. I didn't realize how old the wizard of oz was but thats still a good movie for this time.
