Grew up watching westerns and looked up to actors portraying cowboys like Eastwood, The Duke, and Bronson. That's why I won't watch Brokeback Mountain.

Sorry, but if you quit NBK 15 minutes in then you are hardly in a position to comment on its thematic foundation. If you think that Oliver Stone made a film that glorifies psychopaths and needless killing -- given everything he's been through as a human being -- then you need help.


OK, as to the original question, I can't think of a genre or sub-genre of film that I actively avoid. I'm not really a fan of "torture porn," I guess. I'm generally not a fan of animation -- which even a quick look at my collection would make pretty obvious. I did really like Frozen though.

Now, there are thousands and thousands of films that I've wanted to see but haven't gotten around to. But that's because there are so many hours in a day. And a lot of stuff isn't available, or at least wasn't until very recently (like Out 1).

But there certainly isn't anything I've actively avoided that I can think of off the top of my head. Well, ok, most Adam Sandler movies. But that's because they're mostly terrible.

And all of you avoiding Brokeback Mountain are seriously missing out. Not only is it a beautifully shot and photographed film -- Ang Lee and Rodrigo Pietro? Come on. But the cast all give excellent performances: Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams, Anne Hathaway ... Avoiding this movie is a mistake.

A SERIOUS mistake.
