Aries is the first astrological sign in the sphere of zodiac signs, and they take that position to heart. Aries are extremely active and competitive people with a lot of passion and energy. Given their high spirits, it's safe to assume most Aries enjoy a solid laugh from a good comedy movie.
Like all personalities under the zodiac, Aries have very particular tastes and interests which need to be considered when selecting the perfect comedy for them. Not any movie will do and even some classics could fall flat. Here are some comedy movies that Aries will love and some comedies that will likely hate.
Love: The Heartbreak Kid
The saying "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" is something that applies to most Aries. They can find something they like, but the moment they are being tied down to that choice, they start to look for something new.
This is the concept behind the hilarious 1972 film The Heartbreak Kid. Charles Grodin plays a man who falls head over heels in love with a woman and marries her. But on his honeymoon, he begins having second thoughts and meets the new girl of his dreams.
Hate: The Devil Wears Prada
The fact that Aries are so wary of being anchored down means they can often feel uncomfortable under supervision. Many Aries detest the idea of having a boss in any way. They like to be able to do their own thing and they hate feeling subservient to others.
The world presented in The Devil Wears Prada would likely feel like a nightmare to most Aries. The film stars Anne Hathaway as a young professional who begins working for a demanding and ride fashion designer (Meryl Streep). Such a situation would make an Aries' skin crawl.
Love: Rushmore
Exploring new areas of interest is very important for Aries. They love to freedom to roam and to be at the forefront of things. This can sometimes cause them to neglect other aspects of their life, but the thrill of breaking new ground is their reward.
Most Aries would relate to Max Fisher in Rushmore. While Max isn't the best academic student at his private school, he takes every extracurricular opportunity that is available to him. Though he is flunking out of school, Max is happy to have so many passions to explore.
Hate: The Birdcage
Aries like to have everything out in the open. They speak the truth at all times and like to inspire others to be truthful as well. Their annoyance with skirting around the truth suggests the kind of madcap comedies would not be a lot of fun for them.
One such movie is The Birdcage. This hilarious comedy star Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a homosexual couple who try to hide their lifestyle when meeting their son's in-laws. The hijinks that ensure would likely be torturous for Aries.
Love: Ed Wood
For Aries, the smaller details are not something worth wasting one's time on. While everyone else keeps their nose down in what's in front of them, Aries take a step back and look at the bigger picture.
This is the philosophy used by the titular character in Tim Burton's Ed Wood. In real-life, Ed Wood was a director known for making some of the worst movies ever made. But his passion for movies is undeniable. He never worries about small things and instead seeks to make a movie he will be remembered for.
Hate: Inside Llewyn Davis
Given the forward movement of most Aries, they are not the kind of people who take disappointment well. Any obstacles in their paths cause a lot of annoyance. They also like being the center of attention and hate when they are not given the attention they grave.
The troubles of the titular character in Inside Llewyn Davis would be too much for Aries to handle. The dark comedy follows a folk singer trying to break through during the 1950s. He constantly runs into problems and is overlooked in favor of his musical colleagues.
Love: Jackass The Movie
Aries are extremely physical people and that aspect of their behavior influences many things in their life. They often enjoy intense sports and like to use their physicality whenever they can. They are even big fans of physical comedy.
There is no movie that embraces physical comedy as much as Jackass: The Movie. This big-screen version of the popular MTV show showcases the brave and possible insane stars as they subject themselves to all sorts of very real and very dangerous stunts for the amusement of the audience.
Hate: Superbad
There is nothing Aries hate more than being ignored. They thrive on being the life of the party and entertaining those around them. There are plenty of comedies that focus on those outcasts who are barley acknowledged by their peers that Aries would want to avoid.
One of the best comedies of this kind is Superbad which stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera as a pair of high school outcasts trying to get noticed by the girls they like. The awkwardness of their misadventures who only infuriate Aries viewers.
Love: Talladega Nights
The competitive nature of Aries is another well-known aspect of their personality. They are obsessed with winning in many aspects of their lives and love to engage in competitive sports. They believe that being first is of the utmost importance.
"If you're not first, you're last" – those are the words that Rick Bobby lives by in the NASCAR comedy Talladega Nights. Aries could certainly get behind a protagonist that takes winning so seriously and strives to be the best in every race he's in.
Hate: The Breakfast Club
Aries are people of action. They are not the kind of people who like to sit around and talk things out. They want to be in motion and physically working towards whatever goals they have. They do not often see the value of talking through things.
Aries would hate The Breakfast Club for the simple fact that the whole movie is about a bunch of people sitting around and talking. The film follows a group of high school students serving weekend detention together. Though their conversations reveal a lot about themselves, it would not sit well with Aries.
