We all have tastes, don't we? No matter how much of a unique and beautiful snowflake you think you might be, your choices, likes, and dislikes all make up a part of you. We’re all creatures of habit. Especially with the movies we watch and the celebrities we gravitate towards.
Do you like big bulky behemoths kicking ass and taking names? Or do you like the smaller, sleeker, smarter action star? Do you like silly rom-coms or classic romances, the gore or the scares that come from unseen, more cerebral places?
Still there are other types of movies people can gravitate towards. Maybe old, black and white classics are your thing? Or perhaps you prefer the ridiculous and often mindless hilarity that comes from the comedic stylings of Will Ferrell or Adam Sandler?
How many of us spend countless hours pondering over the perfect movie to watch? It seems, no matter how many times we go through this process, the dilemma we face when choosing something to watch is never ending. If you're like us and are unsure of what to watch next, then take this quiz and find out! Just give these movies a rating, and at the end, we'll reveal the perfect film to watch next!
