from dusk till dawn. I'm not big on vampire movies, but this one was good.

This!
The previews were kinda meh, but that movie was awesome!

I have seen a few Pixar movies. Those I have seen I knew I would like from the moment I saw the trailer.
Those that I disliked the trailer for, I didn't see, because I wouldn't change my mind (I don't like musicals, or overly sappy, soppy "family oriented" guff.).
I have no child-age cousins, nephews or other relatives that I would consent to watch a movie with.

It's usually friends or the wife that I see movies with. If I don't think I'll like the movie, I don't go and see it. I might have liked it, but we'll never know.
Fortunately, the wife tends to like what I like - but she also likes musicals and that other sappy stuff that I don't.
Some of my friends are - literally - dead to me over movies they recommended and thought I would like; and I didn't.
(Well, they are really, literally, dead to everyone. but that's neither here nor there.)

Seven Samurai. I was about 11 years old and my Dad said (as Dads often do) "You should watch this film, it's a classic."

On discovering it was black and white with subtitles, I was less than convinced, but I sat through it from beginning to end and have loved it ever since.

Being a comic book nut, I went into Captain America thinking I would hate it because they cast Chris Evans to play him. Why would I hate it just for one actor, who really isn't even THAT big of a name? He played the Human Torch in the Fantastic Four movies. He already locked himself in as a Marvel character: in fact, he locked himself in as playing himself on fire. He was fun as the HT. Seeing him get ready to play Captain America, I almost cried-awful choice, simply the worst Marvel could have picked.

I went on opening night (birthday present) and loved it. One of the best Marvel movies made. I've been singing a different tune ever since-Chris Evans CAN do good, semi-serious roles. He isn't just a slapstick wonder with a banana up his ass (Not Another Teen Movie, for those of you who don't get the reference).

I truely do not like most comedy movies but this one blew my mind away.

I ghess one good point about not having a crazy girlfriend is you don't get dragged off to horrable movies, or thats what you think untill you see them.
