Wow. From asking for a movie recommendation to a wholesale pigeonholing 'people who drift through life, letting life happen to them instead of deciding what they want from life' is not a leap any reasonable person would make. It's downright silly, bordering on deliberately malicious.

How about, they go to the movies a lot, enjoy many genres, and would like a firsthand on-the-ground opinion on which would be worth their while?

Anyway, that stuck out as a hurtful characterization. I don't know what else the OP was going on about; I didn't get past that startling statement.
