I'm sure you'd love this movie though:

JeffTheAlpaca

WWE Films if they are classified as a genre?

Brack

Torture Porn, i.e. Hostel.
Stuff like The Human Centipede. Seeing it once was once too many.

Nick Danger

What genre is Human Centipede a part of?

Gross-out, maybe, like Pink Flamingos.

Osiris3657

Kids/Family movies
Animated (I made an exception for The Simpsons movie)
Musicals
Romance (Nicholas Sparks type stuff)
Holiday movies
Sports (ironically I love to watch sports. Sports movies just don't do it for me)

That's about it.

'Dramatic' musicals: I'm okay with lighthearted musicals, but things like Les Miserables are just dreadful to me. Honestly I made it 45 minutes in and thought for sure I had been watching for 2 hours. Miserable, indeed.

Movies based on recent real-life tragedies: I have no desire to see United 93 or any other reenactments of terrible events. It's one thing if a tragic event is a small part of the bigger story, but when the entire film is just based on the event, I'm just not into putting myself through that.

Kal-El

Whatever genre Wes Anderson's and PT Anderson's films fall in.

Not a fan of Park Chan-wook, IMO he tries too hard to be the Korean Quentin Tarantino. On the other hand when it comes to Korean films, Kim Ki-duk has put out some really good stuff and IMO is the best.

Ash Ketchum

Anything that compels the reviewers to use the words "twee" and "louche."

I remembered that I give "Independent Comedies" a pretty wide berth. They are usually light on the "Comedy" aspect.

PhantomStranger

There are certain words in reviews that usually tell me this is not my kind of movie.

well-meaning, philosophical, musical, Shakespearian, has-been, ensemble.

Josh-da-man

Horror>Torture Porn>Shit-eating/Scat

So it's like Salo...

The musicals I hate are the "sung through" musicals. Les Miserables is one, Evita is another. Those are the ones where EVERY LINE of dialogue must be "sung", even if it's not part of an actual song. So you have actors doing this half-assed singing of the lines, but with no discernible melody or rhythm. I mean, just SPEAK the line! Here's an example of a musical (live play, not a movie, although there's been a rumored film version of this for quite a while) that combines singing and speaking, and the two methods of delivery are just fine.

JeffTheAlpaca

A new genre where a character films other characters in the movie with a camcorder.

It is not a genre but it is annoying as hell.

Found footage? I'd guess you could call it a sub-genre, mostly of horror films, but there are FF comedies and dramas too.

Mondo Kane

Among the very first of the FF-films was actually a war movie

Defiant1

And whatever Chronicle was too.

So safe to stay you won't be slipping in Gotterdamerung anytime soon.....

At least you can enjoy the single best piece of orchestral music without seeing it:

Boxing is like Christianity. Known to nearly the entire world. But it's time to get rid of it.

sherm42

Funny. I hate sports, but love sports movies. They're like "best of" clips. I never give a crap about who wins or loses in real sports, but sports movies generally make you care.

Jack Straw

Horror (all due respect to Craven)

JaxComet

I'd agree 100% with the first two on your list.

Nick Danger

Movies highlighting 'cute' children. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom comes to mind. I will never watch any version of Dennis the Menace.

I have no problem with non-cute children, as in Paper Moon or Night of the Hunter.

How do you feel about Goonies?

Personally, I don't much care for what passes as Horror these days. Used to love the old Hammer film horrors and stuff like Bad Seed and Invasion of the Body Snatchers but what passes for horror today is just slasher movies or what I call startling camera work where someone is going down a straight hallway for instance and then the camera turns suddenly to the right and there is a face to startle you. No really scary, just surprising and something not really likely to happen in a straight hallway when you are searching for the monster/threat anyway.

Stuff like The Omen or The Exorcist let you use your imagination to fill in the horror of the situation. Now you just wait until someone/thing chops a head off and throws it at you. No imagination from the audience is involved at all.
