I don’t like teen movies, and sports movies aren’t all that great either, but I will admit that “Bring it On” is enjoyable, and not just for cute girls juming in the air in skirts. ---

I hate sci-fi and fantasy, but [The City of Lost Children](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0112682/) was incredible. ---

Some on this board might say that the romantic comedy [Love Actually](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0314331/) is neither romantic nor comedic. I disagree, and I really liked it. ---

I hate chick flicks, too, but I loved **Under the Tuscan Sun** enough to get the DVD. It’s the only chick flick in my vast collection. I also hate costume things, but I bought my wife **The Count of Monte Cristo** for her birthday, and she’s sat me through it enough times so that it’s grown on me. ---

Don’t usually care for westerns or outer space sci-fi, but loved **Serenity** (I suspect this is the case with many of its fans). ---
