Seems like good soundtracks are a commonality. I'm definitely the same, and tend to always look up the music or download a soundtrack to a good movie. And I too feel that a movie just isn't the same without the soundtrack to back it up. I'm a fan of good epic movies like LOTR and will only watch the extended versions, though no one else I know can stand to watch it with me. I love, love, love Harry Potter. Matrix is another favorite, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Amelie, American Beauty, Fight Club and one of my favorite guilty pleasures is 10 Things I Hate About You. I'm with Quinlin, I enjoy movies that can make the hair on my arm stand or that choke me up a bit. Ha. I love great acting, and emotional depth, and some sort of meaning that I can feel resonate deep inside of me. Other great movie examples of what I mean are Adaptation and The Fountain. I always value great aesthetics in a film, also.
With music, my taste are a bit everywhere. However, I'd say I'm mostly a fan of indie rock, prog rock, freak folk and trip hop. Lately, I listen to a lot of Animal Collective, Telepopmusik, icelandic band mum, sigur ros, mogwai, akron/family, andrew bird, cat power, and newly discovered Sleigh Bells. I like music that either moves me or makes me move. I like music that is either beautiful and melodic or a bit radical, different and interesting.
I don't know literature enough to say what I like or don't like. I pretty much enjoy everything I read, and each new book in my hands is my new favorite. Ha! I suppose I enjoy books, fictional or nonfictional, as I feel it always has the ability of broadening my mind.
Oh, and I'm the same as you walking tourist, when it comes to art. I absolutely adore artwork where the brushstrokes are visible. Other things that captivate me are lines in drawings, shadows, textures or particular color choices. Subject matter itself isn't always of great importance in artwork, it's more in how the art was created. Although, I do appreciate surrealism and symbolic artwork, but less as a piece of art and more for the meaning behind.
anywho, I was curious of possible commonalities we as ISFP's may have in music or movies & the like. What are you attracted to in the movie or story or when listening to a piece? Or even extend it to books, poetry and artists. Since we process information in similar ways, would we have similar tastes? Or be in to different things, but still enjoy them for similar reasons. (Make sense?)
