Do you have a favorite genre?
Great question.
Not really. I'm a bit tired of the standard stuff we are given. So many movies seem sameish these days.
Will take a look at any and all suggestions that are... different or unusual or simply intriguing or... rare.
If you don't mind subtitles and you're okay for tucking in for a 40-hour marathon, I can highly recommend the Taiwanese drama series "Nirvana in fire"
It's a beautiful period piece with elaborate sets and wuxia fighting and political intrigue and drama upon drama upon drama as a man who was wronged wreaks his revenge against the royals who wronged him.
It won many awards but because it's in Mandarin it never made it over to the states, it's probably one of the best television shows I have ever seen in my entire life.
