There are just so many good movies in this world and movies always reflect on the society and some value about the society. There are some people can't live without movies because they will be bored to death if you don't allow them to watch movies.Some people may not think it that way and only view movies as an entertainment experience and it is optional for their life. What do you think and share with us.

hi wildlittlefan!!
I also like movies very much and i think it also affect the personal life. But there is two way in which it effect that are, positive way and negative way. Movies affect the life in both the way. Now its depend on person that in which way, he is watching the movie. Mostly people like fighting and romantic things in the movie. So i think it is negative way for children. But some way the creativity and all and it is the positive way. So it is difficult to find that movies are good or bad for life. Children watch movie only for entertainment but they also got some bad habits from movies.
Have a nice day.

Frankly speaking, I want to watch some movies too but I am very busy in lots of things in this few weeks, so I don't think I will have time to do this for entertainment.Yes, Movies are good for learning new stuffs and seeing new ideas whether it will really work in our real life or not. It is also a reflection for today's society. I hope we can always have good movies in the world but not just some kinds of garbage movie that will always aim for money. It really depends on the film producers who wants to make some good films or not.It looks like that we also need more good actors and actress as well.The movies stars in my city doesn't really knows how to really acting in a movie because many of them are just new faces and knows nothing about movie before they enter into this fields. They just want to make some money and let the people knows that they exists in this world, that's all.There are not many new generation who will really treasure the opportunity they have in this filed and do their best in learning how to be a professional movie stars.Anyway, I think it is always important to have a well trained movie stars to make a good film.I know that many of the movie stars in the western world do have a degree in this field. Education is really important to make a good movie star and I hope we can have more people like that in my city.Have a good day.

I think there still must be a line between reality and movies. I wouldn't encourage anyone to live their life by something they seen a the big screen a hundred times. I do think that it's only human nature to remember how people reacted/acted in a movie when they find them selves in similar siuations they remember what they have been shown.
I also love movies and wouldhate to envision a world without them. I hope the pirated movie trade doesn't do real damage to the amount of films produced and budgets allowed.

I have never been an avid movie watcher. In reality I'm more of a music listener or perfer silence. Don't get me wrong I like movies and I have my favorites just like the next person. If someone asked me what movies, I would reply with 'too many to count' But, my advidness probly stems from the fact they're long.
I usually can get into anime, or television shows more. Probably because the stories are a lot shorter. But, some stories are best told in movie format. For those types I'll listen to the movies while others could go either way in my opinion. It all depends on the story.
Now Harry potter is a series of long movies based on the books. For me finding the books on tape would be more helpful then trying to watch the movie. So much detail is put in the book that can't be easily expressed in the movies (unless you can see which I cannot)
And, there are stories like Titanic (told in so many ways) that the movies over the years did the tale justice. Though James Camorn's blockbuster for me was not the best version despite it being so popurallerily referenced. I've seen on Youtube (and have copies of others) I perfer much better.
So when it comes to a movie for me it depends on the story that's trying to be told. Some should be movies, while others shouldn't even be attempted.

I don't know about 'very important', but watching movies can play important part. Movies are one type of entertainment in the last century or so. Some people watch more; there are people who watch less. I don't believe if there is part of life that never watch any movies.

Movies are absolutely necessary. Although I believe that watching a movie a day is not a bright idea but watching a movie weekly makes you happy.
Movie night is the essence of a Family weekend night . A good movie watched together is important for the family ties to go strong. What do you think?
I like movies a lot. Nowadays, I am waiting to watch Toy Story Marathon which will be aired at Star Movies this weekend in my country. I think me and my family will definitely love it.

HA HA , It is necessary for you. You can look at my other comment, some people think that it is not necessary to have movies for enjoying life I won't against any body who wants to watch movies but since it is time consuming and I have things to do with my online business, that's why I seldom watch movies in the last few years.Frankly speaking, I would love to watch a movie if I can have a job now. But I am still waiting, waiting and waiting and don't know when will I leave this jobless situation. Once I get a job, then I will definitely celebrate about it and watch a good movie at that time. But for now, just keep working on mylot and earn a few bucks for the time being.It is better than no income at all.

It's important but only to a certain degree. I feel like people get so involved with watching TV and movies every day that they forget to.. well, live their own lives! And they start getting used to watching everyone elses! It's weird to think but I think that's true.

I can't say that I couldn't do without them, but watching movies is one of my favorite forms of entertainment. I usually watch at least one or two movies every week. I get them through the mail from Netflix so I always have them on hand. I really enjoy being able to get the latest releases as well as some of the old classics, some of which I have never seen before.
Being able to sit back and watch a movie is kind of a little escape for me. I lose myself in the story for a couple of hours and forget about the stresses of life. I find it very relaxing. I think I'll probably keep those movies coming in the mail for a long time.

I sometimes watch movies for inspiration. I should do just as good reading. But life is boring without watching a movie sometimes. I do not have cable televsion, so I can only look at movies on the Internet or with my VHS and DVDs. Sometimes I go to the movie theater like maybe sometime this week I will go see the movie "Thor" and maybe "Jumping the Broom."

Watching good movies is not only good to entertain us, but also good to enrich our living experience.
From the movies, we learn a lot about the facts in our life.
We are reminded of many possibilities which can be happened to us so that, we can be more precaution later.
For my children, they like to watch the cartoons very much.
They learned a lot of English vocabularies from the cartoon channels.
In my conclusion, there are so many advantages in watching movies.

I think it might be important as we can always learn something from the movie (for a good movie, it surely has)

I enjoy a movie once in a while but not where it overtakes my life. I haven't been to a theater in a very very long time. Once in a blue moon I might rent a movie from the Red Box.

Yes, i think its important, for which one reason is now every one is spending time with their work or studies through out the week, so watching movies give you a break or its a kind of refreshing, and another reason is, its keeps a healthy relation with the family/friends, because they think that we don't have time for us to spend with them or we don't care them...so in my view i think watching movies doesn't make any harm.

No, I wouldn't say that watching movies is very important in my life, but I got to say that it is thoroughly enjoyable if I like the movie and can be a good way to relax in front of the TV after a hard day of work. It is good for us to let go and enter a fantasy world from time to time. _Derek

Hi! I love movies, but that also very much depends on what kind of stories. In my opinion, watching movies are quite entertaining and good movies always broaden my way of thinking.
Some movies are not just about the creativity of the producers, but they also make our brains working. So, to me, movies just like music are important because they inspire us to think outside the box and connect us to the outside world.
So, I will be bored if I am not allowed to watch movies especially when I know there are interesting movies that have just been released, but that also means I watch movies when I feel I need something to stimulate and relax my mind or because they are sequel movies and I've been waiting for what will happen next. Just my thought.

Yes, there are many good movies out there and it has it advantage for reducing the boredom in people. Everytime when i'm bored, i'll just go to my cupboard and try to rack out some shows that i have not yet watch. Otherwise, i go out to get some new ones.
It's an entertainment for me. However, i think I will still be able to survive without movies. THere are many other more things to do in life other than watching movies. I think it just makes my life more interesting.

I am more agree with you, in my opinion,the movie is lets people live an essential entertainment, it's not only an entertainment, the different theme's movie reflects the social content is different,we can understand much the true of life, so I am more often watch some movies in the leisure time……
