Favorite movies

 My taste of movies are kind of different than the majority of the people. 

I like watching some movies, but I'm picky nowadays that there are a couple of movies that they release and I've never find them intriguing to see them. Fictional drama is okay to me, but if there are stories about zombies, steampunk and fairytale (retellings), they're not my thing. But keep that in mind, there are hopefully some audience or some young people who are into that stuff. xP I guess I like some either fictional or sci-fi movies that are off the beaten path.

If you see a particular movie you wanna see in my list, please check it out.
Some other movies may not be for everyone, but that would depend on your preferences, not my real top movies you should watch. It's personal.
