Only for NTs: Which of these Genres is your favourite?

[Olimpia]

I need to create a 360° video that is appealing to people who are predominately:
NT (with perhaps a few LSI-Ti people in the mix), 25-45 y.o, and male. In this order.

The Genres I am considering are: Drama, Thriller, and Horror.
I am inclined to include Comedy as a subgenre/subelement, because according to polls it is the universally most appealing Genre.

My video is most likely either gonna be a Comedy-Drama, Comedy-Thriller, or Comedy-Horror.

If you are NT or LSI-Ti (age and gender is less important), please tell me which one of the Genres above is your favourite and why (and ideally mention movies of that genre that you like!).

[Olimpia]

pm or some such video when done

Will be done in October or November.

Seems like sci fi would be the obvious choice for this demographic.

[Adam Strange]

My personal favorites are rom-coms, and Horror is easily my least favorite genre.

Movies I like which are not romantic comedies (except perhaps Groundhog Day and Charade) are:

Blade Runner
Groundhog Day
Queimada! (Burn!)
Godfather Trilogy
Die Hard
Spaghetti Westerns
Zulu
Seven Samurai
Donny Darko
In a Lonely Place
Kiss Me Deadly
Charade

If I might add a note of caution regarding your choice for this project, let me repeat the dying words of Edmund Kean,
"Dying is easy. Comedy is hard."
Most good comedians are miserable, and you seem pretty happy.

Most Gamma NT's are going to like a mystery or drama about smart people trying to outwit other smart people. It can go pretty dark, but it has to ring true. Your Ni and Fe should help you here with the details, but you might need to go to someone with high-dimensional Te for a plot that would appeal to NT's.

[falsehope]

If it's comedy make it absurd like Monty Python.

[WVBRY]

Horror, scifi, action, adventure, and comedy are my favourites. A side note on comedy is that it depends on what kind it is. I can't stand rom-coms. I occasionally like drama but it depends on what it is. Thriller can be good too. I like some documentaries too, if it's on something that interests me and I don't find the filmmaker too bias/ideological in their presentation of the subject.

EDIT: upon re-reading the OP, I realize I didn't understand the question. You're not asking which genres NTs like, you are asking which of the genres you cite NTs are into. I personally would like to see comedy-horror.

my ILE friend just goes to the cinema when there are some big movies about those diseases that are gonna kill everyone and the hero saves the world

my LIE friend is a fan of all sci-fi, anime, cyberpunk, fantasy, comedy a la Big Bag theory sagas, I suspect she likes anything long

ILI friend, any genre similar to the LIE but especially things with wars and display of force, didn't like Amélie when he saw it

Based on those three:

This is hard as my robotic head likes and produces parody from any kind of stuff. OK, too gloomy comedy starts to get itchy at some point. Elements of farce makes things really cool.

So when it comes to the most immersive stuff I have tried out horror games. While I can watch horror movies (and games) I can not keep myself together if I play those games. Horror parody: While Scary Movie series has its highlights it is quite boring overall.
Horror Comedy: I have watched Psychoville series. While it is utterly sick it can be quite good. [Like rich hermit who sells his eyes to complete his toy collection or nurse who starts to treat doll as her living baby and makes blood transfusions and then doll becomes alive... and of course bringing back Nazis from death.]


Thriller: OK. Keeps my mind attached to it. So it is usually memorable for some time if interesting.

Drama: it really depends... If the context is right... interesting.

[chrys]

tbh all three overlap, ideally a movie would be all three!

[Vespertine]

I think, as NT have SF ID, that action and love are good things to still includes into scenario, not the main point, but as part of it.
The best exemple I have in mind is Vampire Hunter D movie.
The half vampire who hunts vampires in a sort of sci-fi, fantasy, horror world gets hired to bring a girl who was kidnapped by a vampire. The twist is she was not kidapped, she ran away because she loved the vampire. Along with the dhampir, a group if human hunters get hired too, composed of three men and a woman.
The dhampir develop some deep feelings for that Leila woman, even though he never acts on it.
There is some twisted psychological stuff going on also.

What I mean is, if you focus too much on NT, it might end up a partial video.

Not everyone agrees on me being NT, but anyways.
I prefer horrorish settings (vampires, monsters, demons), sort of thrillerish orientation (sherlock holmes, monk), but I don't like drama.
Like @Adam Strange I like rom-com.
Not a big fan of movies though, I'd rather read that.
A movie I liked alot was Ender's Game.

[Adam Strange]

I didn't see the Ender's Game movie, but the book it was based on was intense. One of the best stories I've read in a long time.

Don't watch the movie, it'll ruin the book.

Sorry, recently I dropped out of the range of age... but I'll tell you anyway...
A little survey to know what's the preference of the audience to raise the success of your project?
All right, I'll d it.

The Genres I am considering are: Drama, Thriller, and Horror.

A movie can fall into multiple catogories, because you can sort most stories not into a single category of genre.
But I tend to say for me it's:
Thriller > Drama > Horror – in that order.

I am inclined to include Comedy as a subgenre/subelement, because according to polls it is the universally most appealing Genre.

Yeah... Sounds good to me.

My video is most likely either gonna be a Comedy-Drama, Comedy-Thriller, or Comedy-Horror.

I like Sci-Fi-Thrillers, classical Jules Verne style... e.g. 20000 Leagues under the sea, Journey to the center of the earth, Off on a comet,
but also movies of the same genre like e.g. Forbidden Planet, 2001 - A Space Odyssee, War of the Worlds, Total Recall

Sci-Fi-Horror would be e.g. Frankenstein, I guess.

When it comes to horror movie, I only prefer comedy horror movies, but I'm not much a fan of classical horror movies.
And the focus on comedic elements should be an emphasis on humor, like e.g. in the movie Army of Darkness.
Excerpt of the dialog:...This is my boomstick (rifle in the middle ages)... which is a malapropism of broomstick in that scene of the movie.
The transcription into German language has also a lot of word play, some scenes of the movie are even funnier than in the original language... Translator with -ego, I guess.
Ash, the Tony Stark in the middle age ...Groovy

Ok, let me sum it up. Either Sci-Fi-Thriller or Comedy-Horror for me.


...btw. It looks like you don't have any doubt that I'm a NT type because you asked me (by my name).

[WinnieW]

Most Gamma NT's are going to like a mystery or drama about smart people trying to outwit other smart people. It can go pretty dark, but it has to ring true.

Movies like – Catch me if you can – or – Departed – comes to my mind.

Seems like sci fi would be the obvious choice for this demographic.

Yeah, at least with a high probability.

my ILE friend just goes to the cinema when there are some big movies about those diseases that are gonna kill everyone and the hero saves the world

Solve problems by using advanced technology seems NT, yes.
Kill the disease without having to kill other people... But wait... leaving microorganisms no chance to survive? That's cruel, isn't it? They are living creatures either.

[Pookie]

If this group isn't underage women, I would drop horror.

[Number 9 large]

you can still pm

smooth

[Hope]

My ILE friend likes Tarantino and Burton's movies.

[Exodus]

I didn't see the Ender's Game movie, but the book it was based on was intense. One of the best stories I've read in a long time.

Great book. The movie was disappointing, I don't recommend it.

[xerx]

I didn't watch the movie, but Harrison Ford seemed sounded drunk in the Ender's Game trailer.

[WVBRY]

My ILE friend likes Tarantino and Burton's movies.

I do too.

[Zero]

The hierarchy for those three genres is drama-thriller-horror for me. I never watch horror it is pointless and harmful. The movies I choose to watch are usually for a specific purpose unless recommended by another friend. Purpose can be understanding different sexualities more or learning a new language or gaining some historical information. I also like some comedies like Mama Mia!
Drama I like real life representatives without too much Fe or Si like the French movie "The Kid With a Bike". About thriller I liked The silence of the lambs. Generally like movies with Jodie Foster in them.
And yes I also like mystery. My recent favourite series is probably "Dark" and as a child always watched detective movies or Harry Potter (which is the only Fantasy movie I like)

[Zero]

Movies like – Catch me if you can – or – Departed – comes to my mind.

I actually don't like movies which seem a bit pretentious and are not mixed with comedy, because I can't compare myself to something as unrealistic as the "catch me if you can" movie character. But for example the BBC Sherlock is nice.

[The Reality Denialist]

I see, I see and you can't hide.


Seriously everything in horror is not about teen slashers although it seems like it is all about it at first glance but considering how fringe it is this is about right.

[Cosmic Teapot]

The irony is that "catch me if you can" is based on a real story.
Cool to see that another LIE likes Sherlock. The last LIE I asked about the show didn't like it for being unrealistic or something.

[Pookie]

Statistically Horror movies are enjoyed the most by teenage women, and less by men as they get older, continuously.

A teenage brain hasn't really developed an understanding emotional nuance. Emotional affect trumps emotional quality or preference.

Being frightened is internalized the same as being excited, aka Dopamine rush. And men play sports for that, but they also build skills in doing so and thus get some of that Serotonin.

That's why I said drop horror unless they're teenage girls. 25-42 year old NT men are about the last demographic for that.

Focus on science or Cat and Mouse thrillers.

[WVBRY]

Well, horror is one of my favorite genres and I'm a guy in the 25-40 demographic who practices sports.

People think horror is all about slasher stuff, but that isn't authentic horror to me. I think there is a difference between gore and horror. Read Lovecraft's essay Supernatural Horror in Literature. It lays down what every author of the genre should know, or at least take into account. I admit I find horror more authentic in literature than in movies. Horror movies are all about grossing people out. Authentic horror as Howard Phillips would have it is about the atmosphere of the supernatural.

I know, and that's the problem with American "documentaries"

ILI friend, any genre similar to the LIE but especially things with wars and display of force, didn't like Amélie when he saw it

I didn't like Amelie, either. I couldn't even make it all the way through it, and i consume a massive amount of film and tv. I'm so cheered to hear of another person who doesn't think Amelie is great.
I don't think anyone should take my critique on it as a great insight, especially given I didn't watch it in its entirety, but...how it came off when I was watching it was: nihilistic, callous, disengaged, disinterested and disinteresting; emotionally manipulative. People also seem to like the main character...a lot. I couldn't. And they smile at me and question me about her, expectant of my mutual delight. I enjoy liking the way a character is written or the way an actor plays a character. Amelie just seemed like she in the habit of being a vapid asshole, to me, and the director was asking us to think she was endearing and clever. That was cognitively jarring. I didn't get it. I am all about appreciating characters with flaws (Fleabag) or who are being an asshole and written that way ...like your standard Maleficent (original version). but when you act like someone is ADORABLE and ...so far they aren't....it just comes off as you telling us what to think. And I get bored and detached. one of the first things you learn about fiction writing is to show what is happening versus tell what is.
Maybe I would see it differently if I gave the film another go.

maybe it's good, and I'm just not the target audience (some subset of the non-LIE set?)

[necrosebud]

unequivocally thriller, interesting

i mostly like drama but some thrillers also once in a while. I especially like Psych thrillers.

[Rebelondeck]

Maybe it's a generational thing but most of the NTs that I've had dealings with seemed to prefer far-out-there escapism such as fantasy and sci-fi; they also seemed to talk about possibilities, constructs and settings more than the drama, thrills and or horror.

Note also that I work in a very high-tech environment, which likely has influenced tastes.

a.k.a. I/O

[Nobody]

I really like sci-fi with exploration or adventure mixed in because it's novel and interesting, even if it's not a great show or movie; I recently watched Time trap on Netflix and really liked it because of the relativistic implications, but it's not a well-written film or anything like that. But Quentin Tarantino movies are pretty good at being interesting, without any need for scifi stuff. He's really good at taking mundane life and making it into something interesting. So if I have to pick, then really well-written thrillers is my pick. I really liked the old and new Bladerunner movies too.

omg, I have to watch this.

hah, for what it's worth, I more or less felt the same way. I kept waiting for it to pick up or go somewhere from that, but it was the same thing for the whole movie.

Thank you, Nobody. It makes me feel better about not wanting to try it again. I didn't see it going any better.
