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?
|
Like real recent guys no earlier than summer 2009
i made the mistake last time off listing off terminator, good will hunting, and clockwork orange : /

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

Waterworld. Tell them Waterworld is the best damn movie of all time.

I know you're joking, but I actually liked that when I saw it as a kid.
Maybe I need to see it again.

Don't lie.
Tell it like it is.
If you don't really watch movies, that can be a plus, because you're cool headed about everything and can offer an objective opinion.
Or you could look at it this way: You were never much of a guy who likes to watch other people do stuff, even if it's in movies, you like to make your own life happen. See? That communicates confidence and proactive personality.
You have a reason for the way you live, let them know why they need your approach.

My favourite movie is Searching for Bobby Fischer. Even though it is a bit of a niche movie with a small budget, I really like the message in the movie. Of course I've kept up to date watching similar movies of the same genre, but SfBF is still my favourite.
What's wrong with that answer? I don't understand your logic, like you're going to say some movie you haven't seen and he's going to ask you a question about it and then what the fuck are you going to do?

hmm recent good movie... burn after reading?
i haven't seen it yet but apparently sherlock holmes is alrighty
edit: but then again, i'd go with the old movie titles you really like, as Chill said, i don't see nothing wrong with liking classic movies over the flow of mainstream garbage

Ah. I should have made it more clear I don't intend to just say yeah i liked.. New Moon..?
I'm planning on going to see/rent two movies tomorrow to do my research. which is why I'm hoping for good recent movies

Well i didn't get hired the first time.. ahaha
but i like to think the manager was a sexist pig.. which is semi-confirmed

The criteria on 'good' can be different for different people.
Turds like Twilight and its sequel milked money out of hordes of droning tween vampire fangirls, but I think a lot of us can agree that it sucks pretty hard. Then again, I'm not a 14 year old girl, so...
How long ago did the most recent Terminator movie come out? I thought it was pretty good.
How about the Star Trek movie? I personally didn't think it was THAT great, but it was decently entertaining.
OH. I recommend District 9. Not everyone agrees, but I think it was awesome. It was pretty creative as far as I'm concerned.
I don't watch a lot of movies, but those are just a few recent ones I can remember.

i saw that one!

I think a big thing will be showing them that you are good at being articulate and smart, like not going OMG AVATAR WAS THE BEST THING EVER STUNNING GRAPHICS!!!!!! As long as you explain yourself and show you have seen recent movies then you should be ok
|
wear suit and tie...with dress shoes
|
I'd say District 9. Overall brilliantly made movie with a relatively low budget.
edit: Another poster reminded me, go for Usual suspects! Most kickass ending of all time. Not THAT recent though... 1995?
/my 2cents
|
oh and don't forget to put some glue/gel on your hair
|
I'm sorry but you are out of your mind if you think someone will not hire you based on your favorite movies. If this manager or whatever is really deciding based on that, then he/she is probably batshit insane anyway and you don't want to work for them.
Just being articulate and confident should be more than enough for you. Also, if you can get away with it, lie like a mattress.

As for action movies:
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
BATMAN. It's a good movie, really.
I hear 'Armored' is a good one as well. Gonna watch it tomorrow =)
And Terminator 4 was enjoyable.

District 9 should be full of win.

Dress nicely, make plenty of eye contact... when they hold out their hand to shake you have to look them in the eye... i had an interviewer tell me whether or not somebody looks them in the eye when they shake is the most important part of the process... first impressions are huge.
|
Inglorious Basterds
District 9
Zombieland
Up (If you wanna mix it up with something for the family audience)
|
lol you want to know how to fake your way past a cinema? If you're working with people that are fans of movies they'll be able to tell you're full of shit right away (I can spot them a mile away, not that that makes me an asshole :p)
First of all. Don't say that 80's/90's movies are old. Nosferatu and Battleship Potemkin are old. If you want to sound cool say you like Ingmar Bergman. Tell them Berlin Alexanderplatz or Decalogue are the best miniseries on television ever and that The Magnificent Ambersons is technically better than Citizen Kane.
HOWEVER, if you want to impress people with how well you know modern films say that Avatar is the most impressive looking films ever but you found it's plot to be a thin retread of Dances with Wolves (or the last samurai or any of those kind of movies) and you felt it dragged in the third act hardcore.
Watch 500 days of summer. Its the best movie I've seen in a couple of years I think. It's a retread of Annie Hall, but it's done super well. Juno was awesome, but I guess that's kind of old now.
Talk about Pixar if you get the chance. Just the most amazing string of films, 10 in a row or something. Up is awesome.
Dunno if its the kind of thing you should say, but Synecdoche, New York was pretty incredible. Just learn how to pronounce it first or you'll look stupid.
Inglourious Basterds is another one you should probably say.
I've not seen Up in the Air or An Education, but they're apparently good too.
Adventureland is good too. Kristen Stewart is adorable (condescension ftw)
If you need to watch them I'd recommend 500 days of summer, Inglourious Basterds and Avatar. If you just want some other good modern films to watch, watch Synecdoche, New York and Adventureland.
Shit yeah I love talking about films.

Just put that most of the movies that come out these days can't compare to the classics and even the films of the 80s/90s. Then proceed to name off your favorites. Then close with something like; "But, if I had to pick some of the last 5 years: 1 , 2 ,3 "
Probably a good idea to pick a genre for each, so like action/batman dark knight, drama/slumdork millionaire, comedy/40 year old virgin.

Im not trying to get hired based on my favorite movies.. I'm simply drawing on past experience of knowing that last time my answer to this question wasn't what they expected wanted.
Im confident in my other answers so felt no need to ask for help for those.

I don't think 80s/90s movies are old i just dont think they are extremely recent which is what I want.
Thanks for your advice very helpful

When I worked at a movie theater doing the stuff you mentioned, all we needed to know was how to smile towards customers and be able to do the shit you had to do(cleaning,selling stuff). IMO for a minimum wage job you're trying too hard unless you really badly want the job. And you can probably get it better by BSing about how good you are at working with other people than how much you like movies.

Interviewing for minimum wage movie jobs to collect tickets and clean bathrooms and stuff...? Wow I'm surprised by that. If it's what you want (especially the free tickets) then go for it but I can't imagine actually 'interviewing' for a job like that. Have times changed or was it always like this? My jobs I used to get were above minimum wage (albeit not by much) when I was in HS and had no interview...
edit: according to someone I spoke to IRL this is actually pretty common nowadays... I'm surprised but ok.

I dunno... I walked into a store... said I was looking for a job (was 16), and they asked me when I can start... can't blame me for thinking that was the norm. My next job didn't require an interview either... nor the next 3 after that. More recently they have required multiple interviews though :p

Even though it was terrible, I liked Ninja Assassin. You can say you liked the action scenes, excessive gore, clichéd plot, and 비 Rain!
|
The Fantastic Mr.Fox!!!!!! - Story! Music! Presentation! Everything! So perfect!
Zombieland was pretty perfect too.
And uh.. District 9?
I guess those are the best movies this year. Although the first two are way better than District 9.

For a job like this just try and come across as fun yet responsible. Because it's a job that's hard to be incompetent at the biggest thing they will probably be looking at is can you handle money responsibly, and are you enjoyable to work with.
So in other words, throw a few jokes in.

i had alot of jobs growing up through highschool, all those minimum wage jobs like that(then again minimum wage here is like 12 dollars an hour now). Every single one required an interview. But alot of the time it's more like i dropped a resume off and the manager wanted to make sure i wasn't some freak of some kind that could not be presented to customers

What years was this during?

best recent movie I watched has to be Star Trek. The Enterprise coming out of warp with all weapons firing is something that made the geek in me giggle like a schoolgirl.
or, if they ask you for a movie with a deep meaning, say Up. first few minutes of that movie's pretty deep.

im with micro on this, and im a new kid, i just show up looking for a job, provide some evidence i have basic cognitive abilities and im set.
one place required a resume, and a "interview" which was basically some under paid "manager" trying to feel important, so 5 minutes of being capable, making it clear i didn't want a managerial position ( TEK ER JAWB)
don't try to sound too intelligent, dress trendy, say how you thought avatar was cool throw in inglorious bastards for good measure, and you're set.
they aren't looking for Einstein they want someone who won't question the chain of command, will easily relate with clients, looks decent, and can make popcorn.
your intelligence you can put to use once you're hired.
seriously though what did they tell you when they didn't hire you the first time?

No my point was that you shouldn't sell the menial job interview short or people will tell you you have an unrealistic view of the cosmos.

I'm sad. No mention of "Moon". Great movie.
|
ughh two free tickets a day you could pawn those for cheap and make a an extra 14 bucks a day, which brings you wage up to good standards, if you go to a highschool or uni its money
edit: just say lately = star trek, the dark knight, avatar, district nine, 40 year old virgin, the hangover( but make sure to say it was a bit lewd for your tastes), Up.
|
Check out the movie Trick'r'Treat, fairly new and has made a good splash in the horror genre. A classic 90s feel that everyone loves and a breath of fresh air in these times. More and more people have seen it lately and I think it's becoming popular. Also not a dumb gorefest that alienates everyone but the hardcore enthusasts, a good movie a blockbuster salesmen could push for its wide range enjoyability.

They never actually flat out told me i wasn't hired I had to call and ask if the positions had been filled.

I'm going to go in the opposite direction from everyone else here and suggest that you not bring up movies you haven't actually seen. Next thing you know they'll start talking about one of them, or even worse ask you something about one of them, and suddenly you'll look like a liar.
