does araneri enjoy movies in any form

" That would depend on the movie. Most genres are insufferable, and so are theaters. I've only ever enjoyed thrillers. The suspense is what gives them their intrigue. There's nothing quite as satisfying as figuring out a plot twist before it's ever revealed, and knowing that you were right. I'm no stranger to that. "

Interesting man, interesting taste. Or, he thinks it is, really.

Araneri loves thriller films. Things like Noir and Mystery aswell. To narrow it down, psychological/horror thrillers are his favourite; giallo and crime thrillers too. It's something about the way they make him think; he enjoys consuming things that are more fine or beautiful, from foods to clothing.. So, it's reasonable his taste would extend to movies as well.

To him, it's an art form. When a movie makes you think the entire time, leaves you on the edge of your seat.. Those are ones he finds worthy of him. They feel well-thought-out, crafted with intelligence and love for their concept, rather than dumping out a bunch of shit onto a roll of film and calling it a plot. He doesn't watch movies often, but those that leave him guessing interest him. Ironically, though, he isn't some movie snob. He just appreciates a nice story.

There's actually a reason behind it, aswell. One night when he was a teenager, he'd gotten himself horribly drunk yet again and... Couldn't quite find his eay back home, or back to his friend. He ended up heading to the local theater since it was close, and empty, and the staff seemed to understand his problem. Rude as he was, they pitied him and let him stay until he sobered himself up enough to head home (and, because he paid for a ticket to be able to stay).

He'd bought a ticket to the first movie he saw, one that ended up being some thriller drama that he can't quite remember the name of. But, it had somehow managed to keep his attention through his stupor, helped him sober up the way he needed while he sat there. That was what first sparked his interest in the genre

(and, he'd never tell anybody, but he has a soft spot for romance films, too. especially romantic/erotic thrillers, or paranormal romance, since they're atleast closer to what he normally likes. they leave him longing, though. he wishes he could have a connection like that. but, he ruins it for himself everytime)

Additionally: here are some films he could've/would've probably seen based off time period
