Hi, there!

Thanks for your comment!
I also like comedies a lot and I think most Jim Carrey movies are hilarious. My favorite one is Liar, Liar. However, I have found that he's also great at drama. He did a great job in movies like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Have you seen them?

As regards action movies, I agree the The Matrix is a unique movie, not only in terms of the fascinating special effects that were used for the first time, but also because it has a complex and interesting plot based on old philosophical questions like the distinction between the real world and the virtual world.

Thanks again for sharing your opinion with us. I am going to add both movies to our slide show.

Hope to read more comments soon. Just remember to add your names so that we know who's writing. :)

the movies that i enjoy are the science ficcion movies and comedy movies like "clic" and "star wars".

For me the best movie ever is "star wars" because i like special effects and the history.
and i also like that george lucas (the director) made a big history in six movies.

I really love historical or epic movies, because you can learn while you watch them. For example, Alexander, Casanova, etc.
I think that the besst movie of all times is Troy, because it is about a time in the story that is not teach in schools but not for that less important.

Hello,
to be honest I like all kind of movies. Going to the movie theater is something I really enjoy, no matter the genre of the movie or if it has bad or good critics.
Of course that I prefer ones, like dramas or romantic movies. I can say that at last place are comedies and horror movies, they make me feel so tense that I usually don`y choose them.
Thinking about the movie I like most, I couldn`t find an answer. There are so many movies that I love that is very difficult for me to pick only one, anyway I will say that my favorite movie is Meet Joy Black, and if you ask me why, the answer is very simple: in that movie the main characters are both of my favorite actors, Anthony Hopsking, and Brad Pitt, well you know, I`m a woman.

The movies that i really enjoy are accion movies. They are so exciting that you can't take off the eyes from the screen... The last movie i saw was Ghost Raider, and it was awesome! It has drama and comedy too. And i can assure you that it's not a predicatble movie. You should see it.
