When you go to the movies...

I always say " Tell me a story." In other words it is the plot that gets me to see a film. Back in the day I got to hear about new films by watching Siskel and Ebert. They were film critics and they had a t.v. show in the 80's. They guided toward and Away from films well. I don't like most "coming of age " films. So whenever they said this phrase I Knew Not to see the film but they also told me of films that were great , films I wouldn't have even tried! They told me about The Last Emperor, weeks before it was in theaters and I went to see it and Knew during the first minutes it was the best film of that year! But we lost Siskel in the 90's and Ebert tried another show with another partner but it didn't work for me so I stopped watching. These days I just watch the promo on t.v.If the plot moves me , I'll see the film. It is rare these days. My mom Loved Alan Ladd. She saw Every film he was ever in, good , bad, or indifferent.I could never do that. There are many films my favorite actors make that I Know I will hate so I stay away.

I mainly go with the plots. I sometimes will follow some actors, but the plots are what I am mainly looking for. Some of the best movies I have seen had no name actors and were indie films. I try not to listen to the critics either. The critics are there to judge the movie from a movie makers point of view. I want a point of view on the movie and one that comes from the viewers if that makes any sense.

I don't follow actors or directors, really could care less who's in what and who's working on what! What makes me want to see a movie is the plot, if I find the premise interesting then I'll go see the movie or rent it. My favorite films are fantasy, but I also watch a number of Inspirational feel-good films and children's films (they're lighthearted and happy inside! I can watch children's movies as an adult if I want! lol ).

hi, actually for me the director is not really important but the cast of that movies and even the story too,usually movies that cope my interest are the horror and adventure,sometimes romance but it still depend upon the story sometimes those funny love story.

i sometimes read reviews but i find other peoples opinion doesnt always match your own so i normally just watch the trailers and decide to watch the movie then.

Definitely, I also checking on people review but I will go regardless when it comes to animation as Madagascar, ice age etc.

I do like a good movie, I prefer adventure with a fantasy twist like the Pirates movies. I do not like horror, like the Alien movies.

I first check on the director and then the plot. Actors are no factor. A good director can make a movie super hit if the plot is justified. A director creates actors. Many ordinary actors became famous by the grace of good direction.

There are a couple of Danish directors that I really like and when I hear that one of them has made a new movie I try to find some information about the plot and if it sounds interesting I decide to watch the movie. I don't watch every movie made by my favourite dirrectors. Their names might be the first thing that make me interested, but I always check the plot as well. The same thing happens if I hear about a movie with one of my favourite actors. I will read about the plot before I make my decision. The plot is definately the most important thing when I want to decide if I want to watch a certain movie or not. My favourite directors or my favourite actors aren't enough. I have only picked a movie because of the actors once. I heard that one of my favourite actors had made his own movie and I decided to watch it because of him, but the movie was really awful. I was so bored that I didn't even watch the entire movie.

While there are some actors and actresses that I really admire, the stars of a movie are not going to determine if I go to the cinema to see the movie. However, it does guarantee that I will see the movie eventually. The factors that determine if I will see the movie at the theatre are the plot of the movie and if anyone wants to go see the movie with me. I don't know why, but I really do not like seeing movies alone.

Hi! I follow the plot first and then the actors. If the plot sounds interestin then I will definitely watch the movie. Also, sometimes I read the critics and they might convince me to watch a movie that I wouldn't consider watching. But if my favourite actors are playing, I will definitely watch the movie. Sometimes the movie might be average but the actor can have a great performance so if the plot isn't helping the overall result can be average too! I have to admit that I haven't been to the cinema for a while and I prefer renting the movies at home. But the feeling that a film leaves after exiting the cinema can't compare with watching it at home!

When I go to watch a movie in theather I usually check the actors first then the director after that I will researched the feedback of the movies. I usually followed Jason Stathman, Angelina Jolie and Liam Neeson, since I love action movies, and for the director I followed only Steven Spielbeg movies since he is very good in creating a masterpiece movies. I also love watching romance and comedy movies but I preferred to purchased their dvd's and watch it at home when I am alone.

Defiantly all of these things can sway a person into wanting to go see a movie. Sometimes even if a movie has the best actors, but a crappy director and or plot, I will not spend good money to see it.

Hi friend, i like watching movies and have some favorite stars. But i have some limitations in following them. Most of the time i like to watch my favorite hero movies and went to theater to watch it. I am not interested in downloading movies to my system, simply i will watch it in TV or theaters

I usally follow a movie while its being scripted and what kinda of actors are starrring in the flim to keep me interested like the avengers i was folloing that flim for like 2 years , and this new Ninja Turtles flim supposedly coming out in 2013 ive been following that for 3 years with rumors and directors gunning for the project , overall its a fun process espically if you like the flim.

Yes I do check whos the actors and whats the story about but there are good movies too with a not so big star casts and I still enjoyed watching.

I mostly used to in for a movie when i find it is a good fun. My friends is a fan of different actors and they usually goes for the movie to see them along with it they need to enjoy it. I will only in for a movie if it is good, it doesn't matter who is the actor or the actress.

The most important thing for me is the story itself. I love to watch fantasy movies, thriller and funny movies.

Me too, i used to check who is the actors or actress before i watch movie, but if i don;t know who the movie stars i would like to read preview about that movie the decided watch it or not. I like all kind of movie as long as they have good plot and story

I generally do all three. If its romance or anything like that, I avoid that movie. I am not into romance. I am generally into comedy, adventure, action, and movies like project x. The plot is not always revealed in trailers, and I dont base whether I watch it on the plot, because I like to keep the movie a suprise. I judge by the actors, because if it has big time actors in the movie, the movie quality will be better, and famous actors generally go for good movies, not bad ones. I also watch the trailers. If the trailer has some funny things in it, I watch it.
