Romance can get pretty “ew”.
Action and drama with no other substance is just dull.

If you can read this, you are as lucky as I am.
I voted for two:
Horror and Mystery. . . Two sides of the same narrative coin.
Horror is about a disturbance in the social order, and Mystery is about fixing it. Both are dull to me.
Give me science fiction and fantasy.

Seconded, lol.

That's cool. . . I did go through an Agatha Christie phase a long time ago, but I feel like the genre cheats, by deliberately failing to give the reader info they could use to figure it out for themselves, then revealing it at the end of the book.
Do you know about the movie coming out soon?
Which one?

I like historicals, but loathe Westerns. Country is also about the only music genre that I never listen to.
Other than that, I tend to like pieces here-and-there from most genres, but I voted action because I rarely like them.

It is curious. On Netflix it's overwhelmingly the most liked/watched genre.

Rigged poll!
I can get into all of'm.
But if you had an option for <weepie woman's movie>, I'd have picked it.

Oh yeah. I'm not expecting it to top the David Suchet one.
Ew yeah, and chick flicks. Gross.

Not surprisingly, I love all genres and as long as they are well acted and have a good storyline, I'm smitten.
So, the lowest on my scale is probably Romance, though I have seen a few that were quite wonderful. Not the usual offering around Chez Ymir however.
Like several have said, I hated Westerns for many years and still cannot watch anything pre-1990 or so.
Eastwood's "Unforgiven" is amazing however, though not your garden variety "oater".
3:10 to Yuma is also quite wonderful.

And those young adult vampire & action movies.
Gag me!
It sad because vampire movies can be really, really good if done well. Those black and white ones! And the Dead and Loving It comedy was brilliant imo.
But not vampire movies with angst ridden, raging hormone, teenage lovers.
Nope.
Twilight Hue
Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Yes Romance. Yuck get a room.
