Just as each genre has its classics, all of us have our own sensibilities and preferences.

Then there are the horror fiends for whom no amount of scares is enough, not to mention the action aficionados who love watching the hero walk away from an explosion in slo-mo. If you’re having trouble deciding, think of it this way: Which genre would you be most excited to actually go to the theater for?
