You Know You're Getting Old When...

you prefer to watch drama movies, as opposed to comedies or action pics. Seeing the trailer for "The Time Traveler's Wife" made me realize this, as I cannot wait to see it.

I used to be a strictly chick flick and horror movies type of gay guy. But for the past few years, I have looked forward to the Oscar bait drama movies and usually prefer them to the latest blockbuster gross out comedy or comic book action flick. As a child/teen/young adult I always veered away from dramas, but now that I am older I can appreciate the emotional gravitas of "grown up movies". In the past few years, my favorite movies have been dramas, "A Walk To Remember" "The Notebook" and "Atonement".

I think "Titanic" opened the door for younger people to start watching and enjoying dramas. As I can't remember ever enjoying a drama before that.

Is it really a sign of getting older and maturing, or are the comedies and action flicks just too boring and predictable to be enjoyable anymore?
