Hola Guys,
I got an interview with my local cinemas on Wednesday and i really want to nail it.
Having been interviewed by this same company before so I know what to expect and I really need help on this question.
Favorite Movies - The problem here is i never go to the movies and I'm a fan of older movies form like the 90's 80's but everyone tells me it's best to list off real recent stuff. Maybe recommend me some good movies that came out lately?
Also just general tips about how to be amazing at job interview would be appreciated.
Thanks much

Define "good movie."
Critically acclaimed or made a shit ton of money?
|
Zombie Strippers, Dead snow and Zombie land the three best zombie movies of all times ! That ought to impress them

Should probably throw out how much you loved Avatar, even if you haven't seen it or didn't like it.

tell them a movie that has a deep brooding undertone
something like.. Schindler's list or ... Titanic. no wait scratch that -___- they'll think you're gay
hmmm  hows about fight club?

to OP: go through the imdb, rotten tomatoes, and yahoo movie top movie listings and find which ones you can actually have a talk about. it will suck if you say YEAH DARK NIGHT and he turns out to be a batman enthusiast and drills you about how the comics books were different or w.e. good luck.

Don't lie on your interview. Be truthful and confident, but also have a way to spin everything about yourself into a reason about why you are the perfect candidate for this position.

Keep eye contact, and try not to stutter, or come off as insecure. Confidence is key! As for movies, im sure there is no right or wrong answer, and you're just diving too deep into it. They just wanna know what type of movies you like.

Go with Avatar, District 9, 2012, and Inglorious Bastards.
Even if you don't like them, they are the popular movies from 2009 that I think your interviewer will know about.

I actually said titanic last time.. under the favorite genre movie question...
My answer was something like.. I love romantic movies, theres nothing better than watching a movie with your girl.. like titanic!
that mighta been what killed me LOL
the man kinda looked at me like wtf and quickly asked if I liked Tranformers 2 or not.. : /

Hurt Locker. Actually, you should just see that. It's really solid.
I also liked Brothers Bloom last year, but it didn't see critical success.
EDIT: Did he ask if you liked Transformers 2 as a trick to see if you are mentally handicapped?

You could take it this way...
I like older movies...but some of the qualities I notice in newer movies that reflect what I like about the older movies are "reason xyz".

they might as well ask you what kind of music you like..

well the idea behind the question is its a movie theater they want you to be up to date on recent movies and big movie goer.. so that you could recommend movies to customers.
im sure if it was music store theyd ask me what kind of music i like and my favorite albums.
its a perfectly legit question
