фильм про войну & фильмы о войне are both accepted but not фильмы про войну! Clearly there's a distinction I haven't understood, can anyone enlighten me? :)

Aah found it myself :) ДимЕ нравится сметрить фильмы о войне. Dative! Do all names conjugate? Would it be: "Ерике нравится сметрить фильмы о войне." for Erik?

- смотреть, not сметреть.
- Yes all names decline, with the exception of some foreign names (for foreign names, male names decline, but women names decline only if they have traditional Russian feminine endings).
- ДимА becomes ДимЕ because even though it's a man's name, it has a feminine ending. Feminine words ending in -а/-я take the -e ending. For Ерик, it would become Ерику - masculine words ending in a consonant take the -у ending.
