I really like the horror and action films.
The movies help me to be more "calm" because when I see a movie I erase my worries and I enjoy the movie.
My favorite actors are Tom Cruise, Christian Bale and Kirstein Dunst.
I usually watch movies in a movie theater and in my house.
yes, I watch many movies online.
I like to go to the movies with my friends and my family.

Hello Community British Council !!
- My name is Laura Sofia and I'm from Colombia
1) musicals and romance
2) The movies generate a lot of emotions I always like to feel that I am the protagonist or that I am inside the movie watching everything and being part of it.
3) I like the two there are always moments to see or realistic that are like those that generate more reflection and the fantastic ones that generate motivation.
4) I do not have an actor in my favorite I like how they play their characters in my favorite movies like La La Land of romance with Ryan Gosling and Emma Ston and the other one is The Greatest Showman based on real events with Hugh Jackman, Zac Efron, Zendaya and others also great.
5) La La Land and The Greatest Showman, because both represented the good result of effort and dedication, the beauty so special in their music and the feelings they generate in me. I love these movies!
