I like some animated things too. Did you know that the Simpsons originated in Springfield, Oregon? That's the town across the river from where I live.

@JamesHxstatic No, I didn't know that. I think the producer for them wanted people to think they came from all over the US.

I love Korean movies and dramas too. I think the reason they make impressive movies is because everybody's a perfectionist, from directors to the actors to the staff. They give it their 100% always

@jiwonnie ,i agree,but maybe the perfectionist came from fierce competition,I heard there were fierce competition in Korea all the time,if they created imperfect movie,no audience like it and pay for watching movie,then the movie worker will lose job.the huge living pressure make them perfectionist.

Last movie I watched in the movie house was John Wick 4. I enjoyted it immensely. I prefer to watch movies at home online. More affordable option.

There are a few movies I loved. Gone with the wind, Snankshaw Redemption. and a few others. I have watched films about how movies are made and how the fake places are built on movie lots. It’s all interesting.

In my later years, I am enjoying thrillers. I love the ones I can't guess the murderer in. Last night I watched one and got it half right. In this one there were two involved in the murder and I had figured out one. The movies I really enjoy are the ones where I like the characters and their lives so well much that I don't want to say goodbye at the end. Now that's a good movie.

In one, "Bad Exorcists," I played a doc and had some lines. I got featured in an episode of Amercian Vandals a few years ago, but the scene was cut. I still got paid an extra $600. That first one is still on Amazon.

Same as you, I love movies and we watch a movie every evening before going to sleep. My favorite are mystery, crime, true stories, spy stories, comedy, even some musicals. I loved The Phantom of the Opera.

Somehow, I knew how movies are made and edited. Probably from reading or watching how movies are made - lol. I have too many movies that I truly enjoyed. One of my favorites is Being There with Peter Sellers. Have you seen it?

From reading autobiographies of some stars, they don't always know the 'whole story' so to speak either. They are often asked to do scenes out of context. That's probably more common than not. I like comedy I guess and light dramas but not horror or too much violence.

Both Anne and me were in one that had 3 alternate endings. We were in a kitchen (some Portland apartment) and basically adlibbed some lines. There was a young couple doing yoga, and I don't recall the third, but the yoga couple was used.

@JamesHxstatic The more I think about how they make some scenes with cameras right in their faces, the more respect I have the actors.

I played a small part in a movie many years ago so l have an idea about what goes on. I like movies based on life in the 18th and 19th century. Some light comedies, some action, some ninja and kungfu and some religious movies from way back.

I like people more than I like movies, so there is not a genre I wouldn't watch... if I have to. It's great you acted in a movie. Possibly I will find it and watch the part you feature in. :) I like science fiction which involve character stories.

I do like movies especially action/thriller types. I've always wondered how it would be to see them actually film a movie. I know they don't film them in sequence so that's what interests me most
