I have a wide range but I like things that aren’t nasty (in multiple meanings) and prefer things that make me laugh. Though I have one shelf filled with 1940’s movies that I used to watch at 4pm after coming home from school. So Laura, A Guy Named Joe, The Ghost and Mrs Muir, and such. The Doris Day movies didn’t hold up for me. I’m addicted to Ironman and will get any Ironman movie Downey comes out with, as I am to his Sherlock Holmes. Love Whoopie Goldberg movies, though not fond of her personally - Jumping Jack Flash. Newer ones - Men in Black, James Garner in Sunset, In the Line of Fire, Red and Red2, Lethal Weapon, Beverly Hills Cop, any of the Flint movies. But then I also have all the Ice Age movies.

Never seen “Ironman” and wouldn’t know who Downey is if s/he knocked my block off. The only real Holmes was Basil Rathbone, of course.

Whoopie isn’t offensive to me, but her only acting I’ve watched is on “Star Trek The Next Generation”.

The Flint movies are fun (if you’re talking about the James Coborn flicks). Of the movies you cited the only one I’ve seen is “Bev Hills Cop”. Eddie Murphy made some good comedies, “Trading Places” with Dan Akyroyd was great fun.

The 70s were good for one variety of humor I enjoy - the Monty Python and Mel Brooks type.
