What got you interested in movies: My father was more of a film lover than a television program lover. And it is the only thing that I have in common with him. You would think being forced to watch what he wanted when I was growing up, would have had the opposite effect.

What are your movie tastes: Film-Noir, Pre-Code Hollywood, Golden Age Japanese cinema, Westerns, War films, Documentaries.

Approximate number of movies seen: Probably between 2500 & 3000

Seems like a great idea! Will fill in over the next days...

What got you interested in movies: Nothing too particular. Escapism to some part. My mom used to take me and a friend to the cinema early on to watch fairy tales. I like the big screen. The a friends father took my friend and me to watch my first action films on the big screen. Got to like horror while getting properly scared by The Omega Man, watching it alone and being inappropriately young.

What are your movie tastes: Horror, Action

Approximate number of movies seen: "somewhere around 2,000, he wildly guesses"

[Najemikon]

Nice! Thank you, Antares.


What got you interested in movies: No idea. Certainly nothing in the family, except an interest in photography (Dad) and a love of stories (Mum), and the final key, comics. I just found an affinity. I'm often fascinated by the subjects I end up watching when I wouldn't go near a similar book.

What are your movie tastes: Fundamentally, Western and Thriller, but actually, anything as long as it isn't a musical or melodrama!

Approximate number of movies seen: Guessing like the rest of you... 2000?

What got you interested in movies
Nothing specific, it just grew slowly over time, and exploded once I started collecting DVD. But I enjoy movies for what they, little pieces of escapism. I'm really not the kind of guy to argue endlessly about the merit or discredit of one director or another. I just watch a movie, and then I like or not. Simple as that.

What are your movie tastes
Mostly science-fiction and action/adventure movies. I love animation, especially Japanese as they seem to treat it as medium like any other. I've been known to enjoy a horror movie here and there too. Actually, now that I think of it, a good movie is a good movie, no matter what genre, style, subject, etc.

Approximate number of movies seen
Like I ever kept count! I'd say probably around 2000.

Which 'big' film did you finally watch in 2009

[DJ Doena]

What got you interested in movies:
They are movies!

What are your movie tastes:
My ad hoc answer would be "Science Fiction" but when I look upon my shelves, I've got a lot more RomComs and Action movies than SciFi.

Basically I like a lot of genres but my interest lowers the older the movie is. I'm basically Sam Beckett from Quantum Leap I only jump in my own lifetime (with a few exceptions).

I also watch very rarely horror or splatter.

Approximate number of movies seen:
Don't know but I guess more than 2,000. (I've seen most of my movies on DVD and I've seen a lot more movies on telly).

Which 'big' film did you finally watch in 2009:

[Rogmeister]

What got you interested in movies: This is impossible to say since I've been watching movies since I was a kid.  As with most kids, it probably started with Disney movies including Mary Poppins, Darby O'Gill and the Little People and various animated films.
What are your movie tastes: Westerns is probaby my favorite genre.  I also like comedies, some sci-fi and fantasy stuff and animated features.  Oh, and super-hero movies which I guess is a sub-genre of fantasy.  I don't care much for horror...at least not the graphic horror of today.  I do like old-time monster movies, though.
Approximate number of movies seen: My parents never told me "Now this is your first movie...so keep a journal of all your movies all your life...so I have absolutely no idea and a guess would seem pointless.
3 favourite films of all time: Again, pointless because of all the movies I've seen, how could I narrow it down to just 3?  But just for the heck of it, I would probably guess Rio Bravo, McLintock! and Superman: The Movie.

Which 'big' film did you finally watch in 2009:

[snowcat]

What got you interested in movies:    
Nothing huge or massively important to anyone else, I watched the Lion King at the cinema and It instantly became my favourite film, it made me look past a the images and at a story (I was 5 when the Lion King came out.)

What are your movie tastes:
I like a mix of everything really, although my favourite genre is comedy. Comedy is so hit and miss with people though that people often don't understand my taste in it, or why some of the films that are in my top films are there.

Approximate number of movies seen:
Oh wow, I don't think I could answer this one :S hundreds... maybe a thousand?

3 favourite films of all time: This is so hard! :S The Lion King, Walk Hard, Uncle Buck

La Voyage Dans La Lune – The Voyage to the moon, it’s a short film but I found it great when I watched it.... even if it does come with a sheet of paper to read whilst its playing
