On students\u2019 free time, they can go see a movie for entertainment, but this does not mean they will not learn something from the experience. <\/p>\n

Some people have a favorite genre of movies, but their favorite movie may not be classified in that genre. For an example, someone could love watching horror movies, but his or her favorite movie could be “Slumdog Millionaire”; which is about a guy playing a game show, but not for the money; he plays hoping his true love will notice and come to him. Sophomore Emily Eveland\u2019s favorite category is comedy, \u201cI love to laugh so it just makes sense that it is,\u201d yet she said her favorite movie is “Grease,” which has been ever since she was young. \u201cIt\u2019s a classic,\u201d Eveland also said, \u201cMy mom used to watch [“Grease”] all the time with me and taught me the songs.\u201d Sophomore Morgan Hite\u2019s favorite movie category is horror, \u201cI love to be scared,\u201d she said; but her favorite movie is “Jurassic Park,” which could be classified in a few ways; action, thriller or maybe horror if dinosaurs terrify a person. Hite said that she has always liked “Jurassic Park.” \u201cI have been watching that movie since I was young and it has always had a place on my shelf.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other people\u2019s favorite movie actually might be classified as their favorite genre. Sophomore Jessica Beagle likes comedy and romance movies and her favorite movie is “The Vow,” \u201cbecause it is so sweet.\u201d For about six months, freshman Adam Chambers\u2019s favorite movie was “The Collector,” which goes along with his favorite genre, horror. He said, \u201cIt is fun to see what someone\u2019s imagination can create. [In “The Collector”] there is a lot of blood and gore and it is kind of messed up.\u201d Sophomore Nicklaus Bayley\u2019s favorite genre of movie is comedy, which goes along with his favorite movie; “The Hangover.” Senior Grace Mestad agrees with Bayley, with her favorite movie also being “The Hangover,” ever since it came out, \u201cIt\u2019s so funny and it\u2019s just one of those movies I can watch a million times and never get sick of.\u201d For Mestad\u2019s favorite genre of movie, she said, \u201cIt kind of just depends what I\u2019m in the mood to watch. I love anything as long as it\u2019s not horror movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nowadays, movies are being more and more 3-D, but some people may be against that or pro 3-D. Mestad said, \u201cI think 3-D movies are all right.” Some of them are pretty cool, but others I just don\u2019t even understand why they\u2019re 3-D.\u201d Eveland, on the other hand, said, \u201cThey\u2019re cool, but only occasionally. It worked for “Avatar,” but some movies should definitely not be 3-D. I personally think they overdid it.\u201d Chambers disagrees and agrees with Mestad and Eveland, he said, I am not a fan of 3D movies because it gives me a headache and I frequently take off my glasses. No, I prefer to go see a regular movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

As said before, students may have their own favorite genre of movies, but their favorite movie seems to always be what is most meaningful to them. Mestad said the most meaningful movie to her would be “The Blind Side”; \u201cIt just kind of has a little bit of everything in it and it definitely touches the heart.\u201d Eveland thinks that meaningful movies are \u201cmovies that can get me to cry or make me feel a certain way at the end. That means the movie did their job to get me to really care about what the movie was about.\u201d Chambers on the other hand, thinks that “Click” is a meaningful movie \u201cbecause you shouldn\u2019t take what you have for granted and you should enjoy every minute of your life because life is too short.\u201d Hite believes that the new movie, “The Lorax” is a meaningful movie, \u201cIt teaches kids about trees and the environment; and also it is a cute movie.\u201d<\/p>\n

A great movie can be classified in many ways, since people have a variety of interests ranging from comedy to romance or action to horror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
