I'm a sucker for a plot that involves X

Cafe Society

I’m a sucker for foreign prison movies- stuff like “Midnight Express”, “Return to Paradise”, etc.

As for books, I’m a sucker for mountain climbing narratives. It’s kind of odd, because I have no interest in mountain climbing and think it’s actually a pretty stupid thing to do.

82

Can it be rock climbing? If so, read the books of Clinton McKinzie.

83

Plots that have central characters that are immortal, really long lived somehow, or jump a bit in time (like through FTL or near light speed). I love movies or books that take place over hundreds or thousands of years, but share the same character (or just follow father->son->grandson type of thing as well).

TV-wise I love shows that focus on geeks and/or technology buffs or professionals in the IT field (The IT crowd, Big Bang Theory). I don’t watch much TV but what little I do watch is pretty random if it doesn’t pertain to this.

Sci-Fi wise I love near future singularity/cyber punk lite type of reads. I also love the FAR future fluff that is more fantasy than science fiction (Dune, Hyperion series, etc).

I also really dislike some stuff and avoid it like the plague. SF/Fan that has central characters that are werewolves or vampires and anything to do with Authurian legends. When it comes to books, I always read the first paragraph or two minimally. If that paragraph or two jumps right into explaining some crap about the kingdom or listing a bunch of places or whatever I bail. I like character driven plots and the first paragraph or two should not only introduce that character but offer some insight into him (subtle is better).

84

Anything that has to do with the Stargate. For the life of me, I’ve seen so much yet I can never get enough.

85

I’m a total sucker for well-done Stephen King books-realized-as-movies. In this list, I would include:
The Shawshank Redemption
The Green Mile
Misery
Dolores Claiborn
It
Stephen King’s The Shining (yes, I know a lot of folks preferred the Kubrick version)
Carrie
and, just possibly,
1408

I’m probably missing a couple.

86

As much as I like caper/heist/con films, I absolutely adore movies set at Christmastime that really have nothing to do with Christmas itself. (Love Actually, The Holiday, Trading Places)

87

I love movies set in the future, as long as it’s still on earth and bears similarities to life today. It doesn’t matter whether they are post-apocalyptic or not (although that’s another favorite category). Minority Report, Children of God, The Handmaid’s Tale (well, I only read the book), etc.
Also, zombies.
