“I Normally Don’t Like [x], but I Really Like [y]!”

[Surreal Kangaroo]

What are some movies/shows you like even though you normally don’t like stuff from that genre. For me:

• Spider-Man (2002). I normally cannot bring myself to care about superheroes but I really love this movie. I saw it in theaters (it must have been my brother’s idea) and I had zero expectations for it. I was pleasantly surprised. It had this wholesome, comforting feeling.
• Grease. I normally despise anything about high school or college but the songs are too awesome. I didn’t see this movie until I was like 20 but I grew up with the soundtrack. Honestly if it wasn’t for that I wouldn’t care about this movie.
• Clone High. I usually hate adult cartoons unless they are family friendly like The Simpsons, and like I said I don’t like high school shows. However this show’s concept is just too clever for me to pass up. I haven’t seen the reboot, but I honestly probably never will.

Action-Thriller movies aren't really my thing, but I did get a kick out of Vantage Point when I watched it in class about 5 years ago.

I used to be all about comedies movies and shows including crude/sadist comedies and pretty much any kind of short form comedy. Stuff like Family Guy, Catdog, Robot Chicken and Dan Schneider’s kidcoms. These types of shows have largely fallen out of my favor as now I crave action-adventure cartoons and gentle, innocent kids shows, and what little live action content I watch is usually fantasy oriented. The one exception is Regular Show because it was very relatable, had simple interesting plots, the characters while cynical have enough likability for balance, and the humor and story were well written. Regular Show is when comedic works peaked for me.

I don't normally like Disney's animated musicals but I LOVE The Little Mermaid (1989)!

I don't/didn't watch The Casagrandes but I really like the show's theme song.

Normally Disney songs and musicals aren't my thing, but three songs which I unironically like are "Let's Get Together" from The Parent Trap, "Shiny" from Moana and "Better Together" from the Disney Parks' Pixar Pals parade. One reason the former resonates with me is because I first saw The Parent Trap when I was a little kid and it blew my dumb little kid brain that there were other twins on the planet besides @Goldstar! and myself. (Ironically, the twins in The Parent Trap were played by Haley Mills in a dual role!)

I'm not too crazy about Star Wars at all, but I really enjoyed The Force Awakens a lot.

I'm not a "Garfield and Friends" fan but I do enjoy the Thanksgiving and Christmas specials.
