Fantastic and Not-so-Fantastic Films

My favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump starring Tom Hanks. I love it because it's hilarious (who else busted a gut when Forrest revealed the Watergate Scandal?) and heartwarming with the main character's love for his family, friends, and his Jenny. Forrest Gump is a character who apparently isn't very smart, but if everyone thought the way he did, the world would be so much better. I love the constant themes of love that never ends, and not underestimating other people as they usually have more to give than you might think. Not to mention the depiction of various events in history as Forrest meanders through life is interesting to anyone who enjoys such topics.

I dislike movies in which more attention is paid to explosions than character personality, and movies that are lacking in plot. Horror movies that don't have any psychological aspects and just gore, or Sharknado are good examples of this. I like movies that have great acting and interesting plot, not movies that have terrible acting or a nonexistent plot. Effects matter very little to me, but I will appreciate them if they're good along with the rest of the movie.

I watch movies about once a month, in my own home on my first floor couch with my dad and mom. We turn off the lights and turn up the surround sound for a movie none of us have seen, or a movie we've all seen before but like a lot. I'll go to a movie theater about once every six months.

For movie viewing, I don't mind having food, but I like to have a cream soda or cherry coke to drink when I'm watching. The audience needs to be quiet, except for occasional whispers, and I like the room to be dark with comfortable seating.

According to the survey I watch movies for pleasure, socialization, and nostalgia. I  don't watch movies for catharsis or avoidance of boredom much though. My personality for watching movies is one of someone who prioritizes social interaction. I am a fairly emotionally stable, and very extraverted and open person when it comes to watching films.

If my life was made into a movie, I'd want a 17-year-old Ginnifer Goodwin to play me. My life would include my visit to Disney World when I was young, my sister's high school graduation, my own high school graduation, as well joining my school's orchestra. My life movie would have a happy ending, with me going off to college, since I haven't lived that part yet.
