Favorite movie is The Princess Bride, second is Life Is Beautiful.

Favorite genre is โ€œspace westernโ€.

Iโ€™d like to propose a micro-genre: Bromance films

Definition: Two or three characters (who need not actually be men) just getting up to mad shit and being great friends either before or as a result of the journey. Not entirely unlike a buddy cop movie but no need for cops.

Examples: Princess Bride, Road to El Dorado, Emperorโ€™s New Groove, Three Musketeers

This micro-genre is absolutely predicated on the quality of itโ€™s dialogue but itโ€™s some of the best out there.

I think those are called โ€œbuddy comediesโ€, if youโ€™d include things like Wedding Crashers.
