Movies over the years

Movies over the years

By: Eva Driscoll

Over the years there has been hundreds of thousands of movies that we have come to love. Some of those would be classics like Ariel, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, Sleeping beauty,  Snow White, and Toy Story. A similarity to all of these movies is that they are all Disney movies and for children of all ages. Because there are so many kids many families have gone to see these movies which makes them best sellers and things people will remember forever.
  The main genres that movies have are: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Stand up comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Mythological, Horror, Love/ Romance, Science Fiction, and Thrillers. Most of the time action movies consist of weapons, bombs, explosions, swat teams, and anything that could be a threat or a danger to society. Comedy movies are always an option because its light hearted, fun, and laughing always makes you feel good. A majority of comedy movies are where the main struggle in the movie results in hilarious actions. One of the people that I interviewed said that they enjoyed Comedy movies, “That is just my favorite movie genre, and they usually have my favorite actors in them”, Said Kristina Mokalla.
  Horror movies are for the people who love adrenaline and to be freaked out, most of the time the movie is about a monster, human, or non-human chasing a person or people.
  Now love and Romance movies any girl or guy would love to watch. Some love and romance movies can be funny, dramatic, or a thriller, it’s the best of all. Only one person said that they liked Love and Romance movies “It’s because I have a sensitive side.” Says Aj Hart.
  Choosing your favorite movie can be difficult that’s why I asked people their top three.
Mallory Hoffbeck said that her top three favorite movies were Sherlock Holmes, The Hunger Games, and Lord of the Rings. Kristina Mokalla said that her top three favorite movies are Step Brothers, Due Date, and Wanted. Megan Brock likes every type of movie except Horror and Syfi and with that she choose her top three to be Charlie St. Cloud, Hairspray, and The Hunger Games.
  Aj Hart gave me eight of his favorite movies instead of three, his favorite movies were The Notebook, Facing the Giants, Courageous, Remember the Titans, Black Hawk Down, Forrest Gump, 300, and We Were Soldiers. For his favorite genres he said that they were Action and Romance.
  Movies are made for entertainment and escaping reality for a short while and whether it’s to laugh to forget your problems and heartache, to be freaked out so you can scream with your friends, to believe in the possible invasion of earth for an hour and a half or to cry your eyes out with a bowl of ice cream over your favorite romantic movie. Those are some of the possibilities that movies can create. From the beginning of movie making when there were no words to all the amazing special effects that we have now, movies have and always will stir emotions in all of us.
