Tisher Price Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I had no idea where to put this topic so I put it under "general." If yr life up to this point was made into a film, what genre would it fall under? Romantic Comedy Sci Fi Fantasy Horror Dark Comedy Porn Mystery Drama Musical Film Noir Historical Drama I personally would find my life under the dark comedy section...is there a dark comedy session? Because if I took everything bad that happened to me, and took it too seriously, I would have lot the rest of my sanity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Hmmmm...so which of these genres would a guy whose life might best be described as "A jack of all trades, but a master of none" fall under here? Ya see Tisher, this would be the very reason IF they ever made a movie about MY life, nobody would go to see it, because I'm thinking in order to get a more realistic depiction of it AND depending upon the various times in my life, it would have to encompass almost every one of those genres you've just listed here. (...and I think you probably know how people in general just can't get into and are often confused by movies which might fall into more than one or two of those various genres, now don't ya?!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesJazGuitar Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 Mine would be a romantic comedy; How I meet my wife, got married in Italy would be a nice sweet mix of Roman Holiday and My Greek Wedding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dargo Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 A Christmas Story Barefoot in the Park They Shoot Horses Don't They Kramer vs Kramer Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore Best Friends The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel Whatever Happened to Baby Jane LOL Okay AD, I get that you were an ex-waitress who met your ex-husband while in NYC and went through a nasty child custody battle, and now live in some kind of retirement facility where you wear WAY too much makeup for your age, but SURELY you're not old enough to have been a marathon dancer during The Great Depression, RIGHT?!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaDoria Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 LOL Okay AD, I get that you were an ex-waitress who met your ex-husband while in NYC and went through a nasty child custody battle, and now live in some kind of retirement facility where you wear WAY too much makeup for your age, but SURELY you're not old enough to have been a marathon dancer during The Great Depression, RIGHT?!!! Hee. Well I was considering just saying "historical drama," and letting it go at that. Maybe a bit more explanation is called for. I had a great childhood sort of like the one in "A Christmas Story," followed by the kind of early, carefree, impulsive flower child, marriage as seen in, "Barefoot in the Park." That slid into few years of life as depressing as "They Shoot Horses Don't They," ending in a "Kramer vs Kramer," divorce and me living alone with my son like Alice did. Then a romantic comedy of a courtship followed by a new marriage and visits to meet our families in distant states. They were uncannily like the visits Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn made in "Best Friends," his eight sisters trying to make me over and my crazy mom coming in while we were in bed to give us more quilts. The "Marigold Hotel," just gives a glimpse of our attempts to vacation in foreign lands, and "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane," is what I see approaching fast if I keep putting on red lipstick at home to cheer myself up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL...some more here now. And there's nothing wrong with older women wearing red lipstick, ya know AD. In fact, I think that's kind'a sexy! (...just be sure to not apply the stuff out beyond your natural lip line too much, 'cause THAT'S when you ladies DO begin to look like Bette in that flick, ya know!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 This is a great topic, and the replies have all been interesting. Like Andrea's post, I am not sure if my life could be limited to one specific movie. I know it's been very episodic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Faiola Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Well, it's not on the list provided but my life would probably fall under Family Comedy. I'm afraid my wife and I have had a pretty wonderful 35 years (next week!) together and while we and our kids have all had our myriad trials and tribulations we've managed to hold it all together with good humor. If I were to cast the picture, ideally I would have wanted Dennis O'Keefe and Marjorie Reynolds to play me and my wife. Billy Gray and Joan Carroll would be perfect as our kids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
