Do you like action movies?
Sì, ma anche a me piacciono le commedie.

✕Common Mistakes
Anche mi piacciono le commedie.
‘Mi piacciono’ is ungrammatical because piacere requires the indirect object ‘a me’ when the subject is plural.
Anche a me piace le commedie.
Using the singular form ‘piace’ would only be correct if the subject were singular (e.g., ‘la commedia’).
Anche le commedie piacciono a me.
While understandable, the word order sounds awkward; place ‘anche’ before ‘a me’ for natural flow.
↔Alternatives

I also like comedies.
Mi piacciono anche le commedie.
I also like comedies.
Anche le commedie mi piacciono.
I also like comedies.
Cultural Tip
Italians love cinema and often discuss film genres over coffee or aperitivo. When you say ‘Anche a me piacciono le commedie,’ you’re joining a friendly, informal conversation. Note that the verb piacere always takes the thing liked as the subject, so the verb must agree in number (piace vs. piacciono).
