Can't help but wonder as I think on some movies I like [especially since some of them no one will watch with me]
Movies:
Ten of my favs (not in any order of preference)
Ip Man Movies, Star Gate, Matrix, Time Line, China Cry, Tecumseh, Gray Owl, Inn of the Sixth Happiness, Gospel of John, & The Hiding Place.
OH, I have to add a few more, Planet of the Apes [all of them...the new one is my favorite], Star Wars [all of them], Star Trek [all of them], X-men, Wolverine, Electra, Avengers, Iron Man, Lord of the Rings.
Television shows I like: Last Airbender, StarGate S-G1 and Atlantis, all Star Treks [includes everything from original through Voyager, Deep Space Nine,etc.], Arrow, Smallville, reruns of Friends and the Three Stooges.
Books (fiction):
Ten of my favs:[I realize that many are kind of "classics" but they remain, to me, a few of the greatest books I've ever read.]
The Time Machine, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Where the Red Fern Grows, The Count of Monte Cristo, A Wrinkle in Time, The Penny Whistle, 1984, A Brave New World, Lord of the Flies.
.............So, maybe the movies I like and the books I read say something about my cognitive functions, or maybe the functions explain why I like what I like. For example, maybe Lord of the Flies says something I find fundamental in human nature while Star Gate speaks to a desire to explore and a sense of wonder while Ip Man speaks to some need for quiet strength and nobility while the Hiding Place touches that part of me that longs to be a part of something bigger than just going through the motions of life. I know that Tecumseh and Gray Owl mean something to me because they address my heritage and portray my cultural background in a realistic light. Wow, does this mean I don't watch television to be entertained? eek, maybe I do. Maybe that's where comedy comes into play. It certainly is interesting to think about why we like the entertainments that we do.
