Hi I was wondering whether anyone might respond to the following questions for my research paper either here or private msg?

Age:  
Gender:  
Job:

1. What sort of movies do you like?
2. What sort of movies do you hate?
3. If someone made a movie just for you, what would it have in it?

thank you so much

This is not a homework site. Do your own work.

Little harsh, don’t you think?

OP didn’t come here asking for us to describe the plots of certain movies, because he doesn’t want to take the time to look it up himself, which is what the “no homework” rule is about. He/she is conducting an impromptu survey, who cares if it’s for a school assignment.

Thread is probably in the wrong place anyway…should be in Café Society or IMHO.
