Real Life and Movies

the other day, i had a new idea about why people like certain kinds of movies.
my theory is that people like movies that either reflect what their lives are like or what they wish their lives were like (only taken to a degree that is actually entertaining).

for example, people who have had sorrow in their lives like stories that have some sadness in them. people who are in a stage of life where romance is important in their lives really like love stories. and so on and so forth.

i personally love action and adventure stories best. this fits my theory very well because i'm in a stage of life that's filled with new experiences and strange places and adventures.

i havent done a whole lot of verifying for this new theory of mine, but so far it seems to work pretty well. what do you think? does this theory work for you too?
