The article presents the results of a study of movie preferences of a modern young viewer, their structure and connections with demographic variables and personality traits. A total of 205 individuals participated in the study. The six-factor structure of movie genre preferences was discovered. The commonality of the genres preferred permits us to speak of the selectivity and activity when the viewer wants to watch a movie. The connection we have found between movie preferences and personality traits, intelligence, and belief in a just world shows that people prefer the movies which correspond to their individual psychological peculiarities. There are differences by sex in movie preferences.
