    Social Commentaries are my favs. : A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, SCHINDLER'S LIST, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, EASY RIDER, etc... are much better to me than things which are just there to make us escape...although I do enjoy a good escapist film from time to time as well!

    I also like social commentaries. I definitely wouldn't watch mtv. I might watch an escapist film depending upon my mood.

    id probably rather eat 100 boxes of cereal, huff computer cleaner, and smoke foot fungus cream, than watch MTV.

    While I don't dig Star Wars, I love fantasy "escapist" flicks. Big beautiful costumes, fantastic storylines, elaborate special effects, magic and enchantment. Sign me up!:)

    Is it just me or does anyone else find this thread ridiculous...
    Maybe from a 13 year old who focuses on being like the people who think they are being themselves but cmon man.

    A good movie is a good movie, Dawn of the Dead[2004]? Is that an escapist? social commentary? or mtv 'pussy' flick?

    I would rather watch escapist social commentary. Like something by Philip K. Dick.

    Hey, Blade Runner is nothing to throw rocks at. But overall, I'm an escapist at heart. I can enjoy social commentary at times, but usually I want to get away from mankind's problems. That's why I live without any kind of tv hookup except to my DVD player. I'll usually watch The Adventures of Baron Munchausen or The Princess Bride or Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit... something I can kick back and let it make me smile.

    Escapist flicks.

    That's why I watch them after all.

    It depends on the mood I'm in. Most of the time I would vote for social commentary, but there are days when I'd just like to watch something really escapist. If I can find a good movie that does both, I'm really happy.
