While some people stick to only (first) 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 me up. Comedies or cartoons have funny dialog and (usual) have a happy ending. The characters may not be perfect, but they do (them) best to solve the problems. (after)watching them, I find the problems suddenly seem less serious and feel much better. Laughing for two hours is a good way (relax)!
I don't watch dramas or documentaries when I'm sad or tired. Dramas make me even (sad). Documentaries (provide) plenty of information about a certain subject, but when I'm tired I don't want to think too much. I don't mind action movies when I'm too tired to think. I can just shut off my brain, sit back and enjoy (watch)an exciting superhero.
Once in a while, I like to watch scary (movie). They can be fun, but I'm too scared to watch them alone, so I always bring my brother. He (are)afraid of these kinds of movies. and I don't feel so scared with him.
