Are you a movie nut?

I just can't seem to get into a movie with most of the newer actors out now. I like to see actors that can play a variety of roles and be believable in them. Not just the same version of themself with different costumes on. I don't care about their personal lives I don't use my time or money for that. They are entertainers to me not role models.
 
Yes, I like movies since I don't know the outcome. I don't know the outcome with a TV series either, but if it's a drama, I do know the main star(s) will triumph in the end. I find most TV comedies not funny or entertaining.

Mainly, the only movies I watch are those I've bought, so if my attention span won't let me sit through two hours, I can stop it and return later.
 
Yes, definitely. It was even a part of my retirement plan. I amassed a huge collection of movies before I retired. I also search down hard to find movies. There is nothing I can't find......... Plus absolutely everything is available for free when you know where to find them. Even old tv series. I'm still at it and people come to me to find things.
 
Love movies! Prefer them to series, though we do watch an episode or two of whatever we’re binge watching after dinner. I’d prefer to watch a movie then, but Ron usually can’t stay awake for a whole movie at night.

Weekends we watch a movie or several depending on what else is going on, but it’s usually afternoon or early enough in the evening that Ron will manage to stay awake!
 
I like to watch movies but it seems there are very few new movies that look interesting to me. I suppose it is because movies are geared to younger audiences.

The few I have seen lately that interest me are rehashed movies from the past like Gladiator 2, or Top Gun Maverick. The last good movie I watched which I thought was original and well done was Where The Crawdads Sing. I think that movie was the last time I actually went to a movie theater.
 
I'm not a director or anything, but I think there's TV story pacing and feature film pacing. I'm used to having a murder, cop chase and trial in 44 minutes. Movies seem to just drag along. And outside of superhero and artsy love films, it's slim pickings.
 
I enjoy the movies that I can get into that hold my attention. I usually watch the 90 minute movies on Netflix and prime. I can't sit still for a long time.

When I'm watching the streaming movies I can put them on pause while I use the bathroom or get something to eat or do anything else for a few minutes.

Then when I watch a movie on regular network broadcasting I often want to hit the pause button but you can't do that on network broadcasting.
 
Yes, I really like to watch movies. I like to watch at home. I like all types of movies including foreign movies. (Preferably not dubbed or subtitled)
 
I grew up addicted to watching movies on TV, then as I got older loved going to local movie theatre a couple times /month. When I retired,it was my favorite thing to do since I had the time to go
After Covid changed everything, I've went back a couple times,the last movie I saw in a theater was 'La La Land' I now prefer watching movies on Turner Classic channel if I can stay awake
 
I enjoy movies but haven’t been to a movie theater in many, many, years.

Television has ruined a lot of movies for me because I don’t pay attention to what is coming up so I stumble into most movies in the middle or at the end but rarely at the beginning.

Many moons ago, I used to go to the movies. But then there's TV. Yet now, I don't watch movies, even on TV. To me, movies are way too long and "arty".

I love movies, and I watch a lot. I must be over two hundred a year.

However, I concentrate on the two genres I love, Sci-Fi and Horror. I'm quite knowledgeable on those, but know very little about, say Westerns, War Movies, Rom Coms, Biopics, etc.
 
I've been crazy about movies since my mother used to take me starting when I was in kindergarten in 1949. I had afternoon kindergarten, so she'd take me in the evenings every time the theater changed features.

That has continued my whole life, but they simply don't make movies as well as they did in earlier decades. Most of them are Limburger. We're lucky to get 1 or 2 good movies a year, to my taste.
 
I prefer series most of the time, but if a movie is very good, I can enjoy watching it multiple times. One good thing about Streaming and On Demand is that if a movie (or even a series episode) gets too long, you can always turn it off and resume the next day, or whenever.
 
I have always loved movies but never went to theaters too much.

I gravitate toward the 30’s and 40’s movies. I love the old Thin Man franchise with William Powell & Myrna Loy.

Hallmark recently took a very different path with a three part series called “Providence Falls”. It is spellbinding to me and all three movies kept me wide awake — something that is rare for me these days. Their series “The Way Home” which also keeps me awake, the new series in no way resembles Hallmark’s standard cookie cutter movies.

DH and I were polar opposite when it came to TV. He would sit there and watch 30-year-old NASCAR races along with the new ones ad nauseam.

I have always had my own TV and watch what I want to watch.
