Hey, I just did a post on the same issue recently, albeit in my case I decided to resume watching movies after years of not doing so.

Any comments?

I just go see movies because it relaxes my mind. It’s probably my ADD. After them I feel really rejuvenated and refreshed, especially action, thriller and crime dramas.

I’ve got tickets on Saturday night for Dark Knight, being from the same country as Heath, it’s like a tribute with my mates and I.

I usually only see movies if it is a social event, that way if the movie sucks you still have fun because you are in good company. If I know a movie is gonna suck beforehand I say no, and make people do something else! I tend to check reviews at a glance to get an idea.

Also, I really enjoy good movies. Even thought I definitely have seen plenty of bad movies the good ones absolutely overshadow this.

ps: I’m psyched for Dark Knight too! Already got imax tickets

Do you feel the same about TV shows? I find movies are just better quality in general than TV.

Check out the rating of a movie at http://www.imdb.com and stop wasting time watching movies that most people think suck anyway. I’m quite sure I’m going to enjoy or even get impressed by a movie after i’ve checked it at IMDB.

Keep watching movies, there are LOADS of very good ones but you have to get off the beaten tracks, thought you would know that by now traveling the world and all that. Another way to find good ones is to rely on professionals, check out http://www.afi.com/10top10/ for top American movies or check out http://www.criterion.com for top Art House films.

Basically, stop watching snacklike movies, the moment the credits roll you’ve forgotten what it was about. That’s not a real movie expierence. A real movie will keep popping up throughout your life.

Same problem for me.
There are a few movies Iâ€™ve enjoyed but most are junk. One of the options for me would be only watching time-proven movies but they are not showed in cinemas and I donâ€™t want to invest in home cinema.

I’m soooo excited about The Dark Knight! The reviews are amazing. I haven’t been this excited about a movie since I was six years old and the Power Rangers movie was coming out.

Wanted was BAD.

I’m working through a bunch of classic movies right now…

In general I’m VERY picky about what movies I watch. It’s rare I’ll watch something that didn’t get at least an 8.0 on the IMDB.

The only finite resource in the world is time.

Movies in small doses can be good. Haven’t been to a movie since December. I hate having to just sit 2 hours in one place just to watch a movie. I watch movies all the time on my laptop, i can watch it when ever i want, where ever i want and for how ever long. Unless it’s a good movie it takes me atleast 24 hours to watch a movie.

I just like stopping whenever I can instead of being forced to sit in the same seat for hours on end.
