Film Stereotypes By Gender

Matt's presentation made me think of something that has come across with most people: film stereotypes. When I say this, I mean stereotyping films by your gender. I don't like that people automatically assume that guys love the films with lots of action, guts, gore, things blowing up, or fighting, and that girls only like the films that have to do with romance, drama, girly things, etc.
Even though these stereotypes can be true for MOST people, it is NOT true for all people. For example, I know a handful of guys who love The Notebook, and I know girls who hate it. Personally, my favorite genre of films is horror. Not because of any vulgur things such as blood or gore, but because I love a really good horror flick, something that is scary and well written with a good plot. I don't like blood and guts, but I do love a good horror film.
I wish that these gender stereotypes in film didn't exist, but unfortunately they do and we can't do much about it because the majority of guys love action movies, and majority of girls like romance movies, so it's hard to break the stereotype, but I don't like that guys and girls have their own "specific category" that they like.
