Everyone has a type of movie that's their go-to when they don't know what to watch. We all joke about a movie being the perfect movie for someone based on their personality. But did you know there is actually some truth to it?
Ezra Werb and Risa Williams, authors of Cinescopes, have conducted research that a persons favorite movies can actually tell you about their personality. You read that right: the type of movies you enjoy are connected to your personality.
Interesting, right? So which is your favorite?
Fantasy & Sci-Fi

Whether you prefer missions or quests, liking sci-fi or fantasy movies means you believe in magic existing in our mundane world. You're creative and have a vivid imagination, one you use to fully immerse yourself in the faraway world of the movies you love. You know how to think outside of the box and see all the different possibilities our universe have to offer.
Comedy

People who love comedies are the ones who love to laugh and love to make others laugh, even if that means laughing at themselves. You might run from responsibility at times but it doesn't mean you can't be counted on. You know the world can be a tough, harsh place but you choose to look for the fun and the good to make it all more bearable.
Action/Adventure

Needless to say you love adventure whether it's as a hero saving the day or as a man/woman on a mission. You're brave and believe in fighting for what you want and believe in. You crave excitement and don't mind taking a few risks to find it. You try to live life to it's fullest because you know that any day can be your last.
Horror

Movie you might enjoy: Poltergeist, Ouija, Dorian Gray, Sweeney Todd, Texas Chain Saw Massacre
If horror is your go-to movie, you clearly have a dark side that you're not afraid to embrace. You're blunt and make sure to tell things as you see them and you tend to be more on the pessimistic side. But don't go thinking you're a horrible person! You're strong in the face of any fear you might feel and your friends know that they can always lean on you for support.
Romance

It isn't that much of a leap to say that you are lovers but that doesn't mean you won't fight-it'll just be for the people and things you love. You are passionate in all areas of your life and always try to make other people happy. You are loyal and compassionate and don't give up easily which only helps to fuel your never-ending hope.
Documentary and History

You value knowledge and truth and know that things usually happen for a reason (even if you don't know it as it occurs). You are great at listening to other people tell their stories and your friends know that if they need to talk, you'll always be there for them.
Musicals

Drama
