There is no greater joy than putting a laptop on your belly and binge-watching movies/tv series (according to Crestless Wave).  

In a random survey of “What genre of movies do you enjoy watching?” Morton East students 87% of Students reported that Horror movies were their favorite and 72% said that action is their favorite.

What is a movie? A movie is a story either meant to be understood by the director’s view or just meant to be entertaining? Regardless it’s fun to watch and have an hour or more experience. 2021 seems to be that year where the audience were getting hyped up to see such as Godzilla VS Kingkong which won the box office of 390.9 million, Mortal Kombat. and their’s movies everyone is excited to soon watch such as A Quiet Place Part 2, Cruella, Fast of the Furious 9, etc. 

So, why do we love movies?  According to the “popcornoncouch” website, “There is more to why we love watching movies than just entertainment and a way to pass time. Movies allow us to feel different emotions; thrill, happiness, sadness, intensity, comfort, shock, nervous all these roller-coaster of emotions is one reason why we love watching movies.” 

That’s why there exist different types of movie genres.  When we feel in the mood to feel scared we pop in a horror movie.  If we want to watch a movie that’ll have us laughing, we watch comedy. That is why I’ll be cracking down to see what kind of genre most people enjoyed watching by interviewing teachers, students, and Cicero residents.
