While some people stick to only one kind of movie, I like to watch different kinds depending on how I feel that day.
When I'm down or tired, I prefer movies that can cheer 1.(my) up. Comedies like Men in Black or cartoons like Kung Fu Panda have 2.(fun) dialogs and usually have a happy 3.(end). The characters may not be perfect, but they try their best to solve their problems. After 4.(watch) them, the problems suddenly seem less serious and I feel much 5.(good) again. Laughing for two hours is a good way to relax!
I don't watch dramas or 6.(documentary) when I'm sad or tired. Dramas like Titanic make me feel even sadder. Documentaries like March of the Penguins which provide plenty of information about a certain subject can be interesting, but when I' m tired I don't want 7.(think) too much. I don't mind action movies like Spider-Man when I'm too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, 8.(sat) back and enjoy watching an exciting superhero who always9.(save) the world just in time.
Once in a while, I like to watch movies that are scary: They can be fun, but I'm too scared to watch them alone. I always bring .a friend who isn't afraid of these kinds of movies, and it 10.(feel) so scary anymore.
