When you need this

People have strong feelings about comedy and horror, more than about most movies. Some people laugh at everything; some never watch horror after dark. That's good for conversation, because a strong feeling is fun to share.

With these two, talk about your body, not only the movie. "I laughed so hard" and "I had to cover my eyes" say more than "it was funny" or "it was scary." People remember how a movie made you feel.
