I don't like:
-Teen movies
-Cartoon knockoffs.
There's this one German movie studio that makes cheap knockoffs of popular Disney/Universal cartoons called "Dingo Pictures". There is also a Brazilian company (don't remember the name) that makes ripoffs of Pixar films. The latter studio made "Ratatoing" (Ratatouille ripoff) and "Little Cars" (Cars ripoff)

I can't stand movies that depend on gore, violence, or lewd content without any plot. Any two-bit neophyte can appeal to the lowest common denominator. Show me some quality, some real depth!
And I don't like knockoffs either, for the same reason. Spoofs are fine (up to a point), knockoffs are just sad.

Hmm..I don't like horror movies and dramas. I'm also not a big romantic movies fan...The movies must also have a good plot.

Very true, although I enjoy romantic ones- up to a point.

Well, if R-rated comedies is considered a genre, I'd say that. My friends constantly get me to see them by telling me that we're "seeing a movie" and not telling me what it is, (We all have recently turned 17, and they want to see all the R movies they can...) so I go in there watching this movie, and I'm thinking "Are the screenwriters on something?" I just don't like how a vast majority of comedies that are rated R rely on bathroom humor, drug humor, rampant use of the F word (more rampant than you'd ever hear from any real person who's not under the influence of something) and vulgar sex to get to the lowest common denominator of American audiences.

Unfortunately, filmmakers make those movies because a lot of people go to them. I looked on Yahoo! movies, and apparently the people (not critics) gave "Strange Wilderness", one such R-rated comedy, like... some grade above a C, on average. Critics, on the other hand, didn't even review it (major red flag, that should be.)

Blatant ripoffs (especially those Dingo Pictures r_r)
Lame parodies
Action movies with no real storyline
Sequels with no regard to their precedessor

There's more, but I'm lazy.

Romance and Drama. They bore me to tears, most of the time.

'Talking dog' movies irritate me. I'm not talking about cartoons such as Balto or Lady and the Tramp, but films where you have live action dogs that have been computer-animated so they can talk. I just find them really cheesy because the film often tends to be full of cheap slapstick and toilet humour.
