Each astrological sign expresses itself and perceives the world in certain ways, which means each one will enjoy the many different genres of entertainment in particular ways. This series of articles will suggest an example movie from different genres for each astrological sign. The plot and characters exemplify the qualities each sign would enjoy. This article will be about the movies for Leo.
Leo
Leo is the fixed fire sign of the Zodiac, so movies for this sign should include big romances, heroic action, over-the-top effects, an amazing soundtrack, and every kind of humor. This sign loves a blockbuster! The Sun rules this sign and focuses on the joys of life, so movies that go big will appeal to them the most.
Comedy
The Hangover Part II (2011)
Quick synopsis from the-numbers.com: “Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. With the memory of Doug’s nearly disastrous bachelor party in Las Vegas still fresh – or at least well-documented – Stu is taking no chances. He has opted for a safe, subdued, pre-wedding trip brunch, with pancakes, coffee… and no alcohol. However, things don’t always go as planned. Two nights before the big day, at a fabulous resort in Thailand, Stu relents. One beer each. In sealed bottles. What could go wrong? What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.”

Everything is big, loud, and raucous, just like a Leo wants his or her comedy.
Quick synopsis from Google.com: “James Cameron’s “Titanic” is an epic, action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the R.M.S. Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era — the “ship of dreams” — which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912.”

Superheroes, obviously! The special effects finally caught up with the comic book imagination, making strides with Blade, The Matirx, and Iron Man, and host of other Marvel and DC movies that have made superheroes the box office sensations of the decade between 2008 and 2018, with no end in sight after Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.

Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had changed. Little did Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all of her father’s plans for her future–and his own. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer ‘Puss In Boots’ to put right his version of “happily ever after.”

The lead is a disgruntled Ogre with a wicked sense of humor, thanks to the voice talent of Mike Myers; what more could a Leo child ask for. Oh, dragons, fairy princesses, a sword-wielding cat, a talking donkey and lots and lots of mayhem. The first Shrek was a breakthrough, the second one was pitch perfect Leo material.
