MOVIE MATCH WITH THE MARKETING LINK TEAM
On July 15, 2025, we held another secret gathering of our team’s unofficial movie lovers club—and crowned the one person with the superpower to guess everyone’s film taste.
Each teammate had to submit four favorite movies and one film they just can’t stand (for reasons we’re still trying to understand). The result? Sixty brain-twisting questions.
We had our fair share of surprises—The Lord of the Rings made both the “love it” and “hate it” lists. That’s what we call a proper film battle.
And then we asked ChatGPT to analyze everyone’s choices. Here’s what we got
Anya Ponomariova
Likes: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mummy, The Fifth Element, Taxi
Dislikes: Jaws
🦜 Anya goes for movies where things either explode, someone’s saving the world, or Luc Besson directs a weird taxi driver in a souped-up Lanos. In her universe, mummies only rise for entertainment, and sharks are just rude. If a movie lacks humor, action, or absurd French vibes—it’s a hard pass.
Anya Ovchynnikova
Likes: The Holiday, Bad Boys for Life, Some Like It Hot, Eddie the Eagle
Dislikes: American Pie
🎿 A romantic soul who believes in second chances, odd friendships, and underdog victories. She also stands for comedy with dignity—because American Pie isn’t her kind of dessert. Her perfect date? Laughing at Jude Law while men in wigs pretend to be women.
Sergii
Likes: Interstellar, Iron Man, Inception, Tenet
Dislikes: The Irony of Fate
⏳ If you see Sergii deep in thought, don’t disturb—he’s calculating gravitational time shifts in another dimension. He’s all about philosophy, tech, and a bit of Tony Stark swagger. But tearful bathtub monologues and apartment-swapping without blockchain? That’s just not his thing.
Roma Illyushko
Likes: Harry Potter, The Wolf of Wall Street, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Constantine
Dislikes: The Revenant
🧙♂️ Roma walks the line between NASDAQ and necromancy. He’ll cast a spell on your broker, then go save your soul. Just surviving in the wild doesn’t impress him—he wants either death with meaning or life with mystery.
Myroslav
Likes: The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Angel-A, Spirited Away
Dislikes: Oldboy (a masterpiece he wishes he could forget)
🧝♂️ Myroslav is a cinematic aesthete. Films are his meditation—but don’t show him anything traumatic. Even a masterpiece can scar the soul. His choices blend inner zen, fantasy quests, and philosophical rabbit holes. Oldboy? He respects it—but like a first heartbreak, he’d rather erase it.
Natasha
Likes: I Work at a Cemetery, The Professor, RocknRolla, Paulette
Dislikes: La La Land
🤌 Natasha is jazz with a twist of dark humor. Her picks are the films that make others go, “Huh, didn’t expect that.” But Natasha isn’t here for your clichés. She wants plot with backbone—not pastel air and tap-dance daydreams. If no one dies in the first scene, at least let them drown in sarcasm.
Yulian
Likes: Revolver, Black Hawk Down, Inception, Life Is Beautiful
Dislikes: Ink
🧠 Yulian is a soul-driven strategist. He takes apart illusions like a mechanic—precise, steady, no fluff. He loves intelligent action with a message and has zero patience for shaky-camera indie drama where everyone vanishes in silence.
Mykola
Likes: The Simpsons Movie, Cars, Home Alone, Fast & Furious
Dislikes: Spider-Man: No Way Home
🍩 Smell that popcorn? That’s Mykola. His picks are childhood, chaos, and pure fun. He’s all about wild races, mom yelling “Kevin!!!”, and a good laugh. Brooding superheroes talking deep philosophy? Not for him.
Julia
Likes: The Kingdom, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Another Round, Sisu
Dislikes: Charlie’s Angels
🌍 Julia sips champagne before the apocalypse, then heads off to save the world—Nordic style. She loves sharp satire or brutal realism. High heels saving the planet with one-liners? Nope, not on her watch.
Roma Chaika
Likes: Ford v Ferrari, Creed II, Molly’s Game, The Great Gatsby
Dislikes: The Beekeeper
🏁 Roma runs on adrenaline, elegance, and smart ambition. He wants stories with grit and polish—plus a little drama. The Beekeeper? Just cheap gum that loses flavor fast. He’s here for speed, style, and cinematic class.
Ivan
Likes: The Gentlemen, Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, Wild Tales
Dislikes: Renfield
🔫 Ivan likes movies with attitude—tight plots and sharp lines. He’s all about stylish crime and blood-stained art. But a vampire sniffing garlic instead of cracking jokes? That’s a no. In his cinematic bible, bad guys have flair and screenplays don’t waste a second.
Vlad
Likes: The Silence of the Lambs, The Game, The Sixth Sense, The Usual Suspects
Dislikes: The Lord of the Rings
🔍 Vlad is a Swiss Army knife of movie watchers. He lives for that final twist—the one that flips the entire story upside down. No suspense? No point. Fantasy with elves and rings? He’ll leave that to Hogwarts kids.
🍿 Perfect Movie Night Pairs
- Sergii + Yulian: Popcorn? Only if it obeys quantum physics.
- Julia + Myroslav: Arthouse cinema therapy.
- Roma Chaika + Ivan: They’ll watch, rewatch, then break it down like critics.
- Anya Ponomariova + Mykola: Their screening is a rollercoaster.
- Anya Ovchynnikova + Roma Illyushko: Big stories with warm endings.
- Vlad + Ivan: “Don’t blink—you’ll miss the plot twist.”
- Natasha + Julia: Black comedy with a healing aftertaste.
And the ultimate winner? Anya—we sent her a panettone for her outstanding film taste!
