For me, sadness or fear.

That all depends on my mood of the moment. I don't want to feel any saccharine rom/com stuff though. Ever.

Any all, or nothing. Depends on my mood. Sometimes I just want something mindless and visually appealing. Sometimes I wanna challenge myself woth something uncomfortable. Sometimes I want the mobie equivalent of a warm hug.
I think I probably gravitate more to movies and shows that give me mixed emotions. Stuff that doesn't fit neatly into genres.

I like when movies make me feel inadequate as a man.

Enjoyment.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

I want movies to challenge me and mindfuck me or make me scared to go to bed or make me nauseated or cry.

I don’t care what the genre is, I just want to enjoy what I watch.
