I have a friend of mine who is watching more than 7 movies a week ! i was really surprised and shocked on hearing this number.Do anyone of you have this habit of watching more than 7 movies a week? don't you all think that it is too high in number and will also effect your eyes if this habit continues for some more time? I think this is ridiculous and is too bad living

I rather "live bad" and enjoy my life than live " correctly" and not enjoy one minute of it. I must have seen more than 7 films in a week but I did it at home . I have many movie channels and now that I don't have to get up super early , I can stay up and watch a good film or two a night! Plus if there isn't any film on t.v. I can pop in one of the hundreds films I have on VHS or DVD. My favorite thing to do is to match a film that aired on t.v. with a film I have on tape.So to you it is ridiculous but to me it is way of life. And If I die earlier because of it at least I enjoyed my life.

You have a very distinct way of thinking and the way you have put up your views here, it seems as if you are in old age now and you seems to have enough time now and also got very much addicted to watching movies.By watching movies like this you also pass your free time well isn't it? when you have everything at home, you don't even feel like going out and this is really bad and i feel you have to go out and enjoy mother nature also once in a while

I watch sometimes more movie than 7 a week. Every night at 20 o'clock I watch film and sometimes one at afternoon and I don't think it is too much and it isn't too bad living, why it is can you explain? Are you not watch television in your home? I know people who watch more films than my, I think many people watch one movie on the night time.

I think more number of people disagree with my argument of watching more than 7 films a week is bad.So, even i have ti agree to all of your points and even i have to change my point of view as also i feel there are many people watching more number of movies for a limited time or shorter time frame and not in years

I don't say that i don't watch tv or movies as i also love watching tv programs and also good movies, but not in heavy numbers like this as these days my time will all be spent on working online as i concentrate more on earning money for improving my financial status

if you not watch film can you tell me watch you doing in the night time? what we can do just watch good film or some person can sit in internet, but I think it is this same like television not good for your eyes. So give me something to exchange for television.

There are weeks, when I can easily watch more than 7 movies a week. Some weeks, it's certainly not as much. But there are weeks when I can watch more than that. It just depends on the amount of free time that I have during a particular week. However, there have certainly been weeks when I could watch more than 7 movies during a week. What can I say? I really enjoy watching movies.

Yes, when you are totally free of works you get the freedom of watching more movies as you will be totally free from your daily work and one also needs to take rest and relax in his own way.Many people do watch programs or movies in a way to get relaxed which is understandable, but there are people who knowingly fall into this addiction of watching for more time and this is really bad for their health

I don't count the number of movies that I watch. At one time I am sure I may have watched even more than that since I can now watch them from home on my computer, but I had more time for it then. There is nothing about watching movies that will affect your eyes, that is absolutely ridiculous. It is not as if you watch a movie only inches from the screen. The only way for this to be bad living is if the person is neglecting their responsibilities. Seven movies is only one per day. Most people spend more time than that watching daily television programs.

Yes, i agree with your views and one movie per day isn't bad as there are people who spend time watching more programs in television than spending in other things in life, but watching too many programs in too big screen is bad for everything and will effect your health

What is bad about it? How can it possibly affect your health? If this were true movie reviewers and people who worked in theaters or the film industry would have all sorts of health problems.

I sometimes watch that many or more if i have nothing better to do. And those movies still don't come near the time i spend on computer every day. But i do watch movies on pc so it's healthier than watching movies on old television. I rarely have problems with my eyes and hope it will stay as it is. Have a great day

There are a few movies buffs who also watch more than 10 movies a month and i have seen them as they are more crazy to watch these many movies and maybe they are also free and don't have any other important work or even any major tensions in their life like others have.Or else how can one explain watching 100 movies a month isn't it?

I have never done this, 7 movies in a week, meaning 1 in a day, good average. I have not seen movies in theatre from last 2 months. Waiting for some good movies to release and will go to theatre for sure.

I think 7 movies a week is average number of movies for those who have television and also free time and this figure might be too much for those who are busy in their life as watching 7 movies a week is like taking out lot of time when you are busy isn't it and this one thing cannot be done by all isn't it?

I will not be able to maintain 1 movie a day for sure. 5 days there is no time to spend 3 hours on Tv or watching movie. Its managable on weekends or while being on vacation but not all days of week.

i dont find that much time in my daily routine so that i can continuously sit and watch one complete movie as i am a mother of two little ones and i need to take care of them most of the time. i really want to watch movie and relax and just get entertained but it is rarely possible for me. watching seven movies a week is impossible for me but there are people who watch more than one or two movies a day and hence they cross seven movies a week and hence it should not be surprising for seven movies. yes watching tv continuously and for a longer time will surely effect our eyes and we need to think about our health too.

I had a habit of watching tv for more time and that was only during my college days and during vecation times and later on only during my favorite sports matches and only for short period and not for longer period for sure as i do get eye pain sometimes and during that time, i do some relaxing by placing cucumber slice over my closed eyes to take out my burning sensation of eyes

I watch seven movies a day!! I am always online or at my computer so I like to keep the tv on or the dvd playing a movie. I am actually having a hard time finding movies to watch. I have seen almost all the episodes of the movies I like at Hulu.com and I need a new site. I have hundreds of movies on dvd and will watch some of my favorites over again when I have to. I am always looking for new release information so I can see new movies. I don't know how I became this fanatical about it, I just started watching while I worked and now it seems that I am either watching my television or Hulu.com on my second computer. I have both my television set and my second computer where I can watch them while I work. Sometimes if I really need my attention on what I'm doing then I will just listen until I get a break to look over or if it's a favorite I will pause it. As far as bad living, I don't think that I am being counterproductive if I am working while I watch and/or listen and who knows; all that movie trivia may come in handy someday.

I feel you have a serious addiction sort which you have to sort it out as later on you might find it difficulty to come out of this and this also might create a new problem for you for sure.It is better to come out of this at early stage as early solution is always better and more than us, you have to feel this and have a strong desire also

If it is TV series, then I can watch like full season in a week, sometimes even stay awake until 2 or 3 am if I really curious about TV series. But if it is a full two hours movie, usually I can only stand to 5 movies a week. It's actually not that ridiculous if you are a movie buff. Some people watch movies to relieve themselves from stress that coming from work, life or everything. They see movies as a way to escape from the reality and will be awed by the story

You are right as i have not mentioned whether it is watching in television or watching it in theater as both will have different effects for sure isn't it? maybe i will also agree to your point here after hearing to so many comments that 7 movies a week isn't that bad and maybe 10 movies per week and for along time might be bad living and one should understand this first

It all depends. If there are enough good movies, If i have enough "movie time", etc, Normally, i just watch one movie one day, since i need time to digest, it's important periode for me.

When there are good movies around, we also feel like watching it and that too when our friends see it and praise that movie, we are bound to watch it as we also want to see what is there in that movie which does make it a hit movie isn't it?but good movies doesn't come in a rush as there will only be limited good movies coming our way and it's always like that

ahm I think its not really that bad,7 movies a day every week would do to say its to much. I guess your friend's alright but if for you doing his thing is to much you should give him some advice, or better yet if his going to watch a movie again ask him to go out with you and hangout with some of your other friends. . .=]

Yes, after hearing to these man comments i also feel the number 7 a week isn't abd and maybe number 14 a week is bad? what do you say? here again question comes whether watching 14 movies in theater is bad or watching it in computer screen or tv screen.My only point is too much exposure to wide screen maybe bad for anyone's eyes and nothing more than this

No Not even if I am at home the whold dat for 7 days. I would prefer watching the news and some sports. Dr. Wayne dyer says, a child has seen atleast 20000 murders before he / she reaches the age of 14. This is bcos of the movies we watch. I can say your friend has a great appetite for movies. Is he a movie critic. If yes its ok its his job to watch movies.

Some people d watch all kinds of programs for longer period and i do agree with that as television do have lots of entertainment programs running all the time and all these will be only possible only during free time or else only tot hose people who doesn't have any other work to do.I have my friend who is born rich and has too much of cash that he can sit idle throughout his life time without doing any work and maybe he can try out these things

I do watch good movies whenever it comes but since good movie comes very rarely, i also get limited by watching it rarely.Sometimes if i am really busy with work i even miss these good movies also which does make me feel very sad as i have seen some great movies like "Titanic" which i feel one shouldn't miss and has to be watched in big screens and not in television screen

Do you mean that they go to the theater 7 times a week? If you mean going to the theater 7 times a week to see movies then yeah that is quite a bit, especially with the cost of movies. Also who has the time to go to that many movies? Not to mention the cost. If you mean they watch 7 movies at home or 7 DVD's that is not that big of a deal maybe they like watching a movie every night after work before bed, I don't see anything wrong with that, or even watching movies on cable or on TV is fine too.

Maybe you have a point here as seeing all those who commented here, i also agreed that watching more number of movies say 7 movies a week is not bad as we all keep watching tv at home, but as yous aid watching these many movies going to a theater is bad and may effect your eye's for sure and maybe many of them support this view i guess
28 Jun 10
Okay so let me just say up front that I watch more than 7 movies a week, sometimes twice that amount. But then I have a reason, I review movies and unless I watch them I can't review them, so that's my reason for my movie reviewing habit. But for someone who just watches movies for entertainment value, well I don't see anything wrong with 7 a week, that's one an evening and if your friend prefers movies to TV or other stuff then I don't see an issue.

We all watch TV for more time and maybe this also can be compared to watching movie everyday and i have to agree to your point of view here.Even i had this habit of watching more number of movies only when i was too young and not after i grown up as this habit went on decreasing as i also got engaged in other things of life
@med889 (5941)

There was a time when I was watching a movie everyday when I was back from home so it makes seven movies a week and sometimes if a movie ends early I would see another one so it was really a habit for me and it lasted some six months when I was out of new movies then the number of movies decreased in a week and then till today I do not watch so many.

At young age, there are many of them watching more movies as even i was happy infact more curious and excited on watching adventurous movies of my liking and maybe would have watched more than 7 movies a week also.But these negative factors will only be known when we grow old as we mature.IN your case, i feel the habit got reduced automatically and not intentionally done by you

well i usually watch 2-3 movies in a week but their are people who watch movies after work to relieve them of stress. I think that number is ok i guess.
@alienstar (5142)

Well, 2-3 movies a week is common in every house where people love to watch movies i guess and there isn't any harm here as it is pure entertainment factor and also the number is too less here.As you said, it is also one of the most relaxing ways after working hours for sure.People tend to get more relaxed and enjoy their free time

I dont say that one cannot watch 10 movies a week and i only felt that this habit if continues for more time, say a year or so it will be bad and nothing else.Just calculate how many movies you are going to watch for a year if this number goes on for a year and then tell meas watching more than 7 films for few months is just ok i guess

I don't think I've ever done that or had a habit of watching that many movies in one week. Is this going to the theater or watching a movie at home? If it's going to the theater, I think that's ridiculous because movies are so expensive there and I feel like you'd run out of movies you'd want to watch before the seventh day! I'm assuming you mean watching them at home. It does seem like a lot but for people that don't want to do much after a long day of working I understand just wanting to sit down and relax to watch a movie. There's a lot of movies to rent/buy, so they probably won't run out of movies anytime soon!

I think watching 7 movies in a computer in a week is not that bad as i myself got it wrong by saying it as bad and after reading these many comments i have to agree with all of them here and maybe watching more number of movies in a theater is bad as one is exposed to large screen and also loud sound and this thing might have an effect isn't it
