Ooh - I hear you! There are only 2 on that list that I've seen (Saw and Hostel) - but I don't think I can do the horrow movies anymore.

And I NEVER could get into Star Wars. Oh well, huh? Nice to meet you!

stephanie said...

Ohhhh, but Star Wars is so much more than sci-fi. I promise; I am not a watcher of the genre but the archetypes & such - wow.

And you know horror movies are great aphrodisiacs, right? ;)

Just saying. But good on you knowing what you like...

I love scary movies!!! not chop 'em gore type... but chilling ones, like The Sixth Sense, The Others, The Ring etc.

Happy T13!

Blessings,
Karla

Star Wars is good. I liked the old TV version of Battlestar Galactica but never liked Star Trek.

badpuppydog said...

wow those are movies i would miss too!! unless i sat there repeating, 'it's just a movie, i'm not scared..' the whole time.

Coco said...

I don't watch any horror movies either... can't see why people would pay to get scared... LOL

Robin said...

I enjoy the occasional sci fi movie, but I hate (and am completely terrified of) horror movies. Those I absolutely will not watch.

I have to admit I watched Saw 1 and 2 and really loved the twists, but they were definitely the type of movies that haunted you for days to come.

Oh yeah, I hate horror movies, but I have seen Star Wars and Star Trek.

Happy TT!

storyteller said...

The only movies from your list that I’ve seen are #8 and 9 … and yes, I admit to being a long-time died in the wool ‘trekkie’ … LOL
Hugs and blessings,

Yay! I haven't seen any of these films too.

Malcolm said...

I am not a big fan of horror movies either. However, I do like some of the older ones where they allow you to use your imagination. Stephanie made an excellent point about Star Wars. I am not even close to being a Sci-Fi/Star Wars geek, but the Star Wars films (at least Episodes 4, 5, and 6) transcend their genre.

Dane Bramage said...

I like horror and sci-fi but I have only seen two on your list. (three if you count BSG which I am sure you mean the TV show.) Horror is so much more than dismemberment and gallons of blood. Did you ever see Flowers in the Attic? To me that is also horror.

Thanks for stopping by my T13 this week!

forgetfulone said...

I've seen a couple of those, but not necessarily by choice. I do, however, like Star Wars.

Angie said...

I really love Star Wars, though I don't like science fiction. To me, the movies aren't really all that sci-fi.

However, I haven't seen any of the other movies that you have listed. I'm also not into horror or sci-fi.

MamaLee said...

I used to be able to watch horror movies, but my body can NOT anymore. I think I'll have a heart attack!

Never mind when I catch a preview for one on tv at Halloween time. FREAK OUT!

Happy TT! xoxo

No Nonsense Girl said...

I don't watch horror movies either...

Happy Thursday 13.

Sanni said...

Oooh, I´ve watched far too many of the movies you mentioned. I guess that´s why I can´t sleep *wink*

Happy TT!

Open Grove Claudia said...

Wow, Star Wars too?? I don't watch any horror. It lingers too long in my brain. Great list though!

Happy TT!

Lori said...

I'm with you on the horror movies but adore sci-fi and scary suspense movies.
I remember laughing at how corny Nightmare on Elm Street was with my friends as a teen. Don't watch those kinds of movies anymore though.
Interesting idea for a list!

Zenmomma said...

I don't like the horror ones either. But I love the Star Wars series. More than just an action Sci/fi film.

Brittany said...

I hear you whole heartedly on this one!! The Grudge finally did me in FOREVER on horror movies. I couldn't sleep for three days straight....well couldn't sleep at night at least.

Great TT btw!

Eve said...

Interesting idea for a TT list.

Playful Professional said...

I don't like horror movies but I watch them anyway.

Lilibeth said...

I agree about horror movies. Can't see them. The older I get, and the more I understand about real horror happenings, the less I want to see the mock-ups. I don't consider Star Wars and Star Trek horror, and I've seen several of them, but they are not really something I plan to see. I went on to look at your pictures. They are great.

Tasina said...

I love the 3 original Star Wars movies. Event Horizon was ok too. I agree with you on the rest.

Farrah said...

I don't do horror either. However, we love Star Wars! I like sci-fi stuff and fantasy. :-)

Ashley said...

I've seen Grudge...it was okay. Made me more tense...not really scared. But anxious. They affect me a lot differently now. lol. Afterwards, I just feel like I need a massage!

Sarah said...

I am with ya on not liking horror and Si-Fi, but I have to say I liked the RING and the Star Wars. I really don't like Star Trek, though. Good list!
Happy TT! Stop by Sassyfrazz if you get a chance!

The Q Family said...

I'm with you on Horror movies but I can watch Sci-Fi movies.

TorAa said...

Haha, I've only watched Elm Street on TV. I found it very amusing. LOL.

Nicholas said...

I saw the first Star Wars many, many years ago but have never bothered with any of the others. I did like Star Trek though.

arlene said...

I also hate horror movies. Though there is this one movie i liked: Sixth Sense =)

chanpheng said...

Horror films don't grab me, though I like some Science Fiction.

My TT is in honor of International Womens' Day on 8 March. Thirteen Famous (and not so famous) Women

Melanie said...

I don't like horror or sci-fi either. The only one I've seen from your list is the Ring.

Pamela Kramer said...

How funny! I've seen most of those. Saw was just silly. Great list btw - and I'm so sorry I'm late. I've been working on the 5 Minutes for Mom blog party. It's been crazy! You should stop by if you get a chance. That's if you are into winning prizes. Thanks for stopping by!
