when you saw a thriller of a movie what attract you most to watch that movie? is it the actors or the plot? some times people watch movies because the role played by their favorite artist and they always said that they're great... it's promising, it's fantastic... etc. etc.. although it has a horrendous plot still for them, it's amazing... some times... though the movie have a great sense of topic it didn't recognize by the people if an only if they didn't know the actors... how cruel isn't?

Its always the plot for me...when its a movie with a seemingly good plot AND the actors are some of my favs thats just a bonus to me...

It has to have a good plot/story.
Gerard Butler is my favorite actor, so I rented Rock n Rolla the other day, even though I knew it wasn't my kind of movie. I didn't like it, and just because GB was in it didn't make it good.

It varies, though it's easier for me to see a movie I'm not sure will meet my fancy if there are actors I know and enjoy in it.

It can go either way for me. There have been movies that I've heard or read about or seen the previews for that look really good and I decide I "have" to see them even if I've never heard of any of the actors. On the other hand, there have been movies that have gotten poor reviews and maybe wouldn't have caught my attention if it hadn't been for one or more of my favorite actors being in them and I still want to see them. Probably most of us have seen movies starring someone we really like that wouldn't have been good at all if it weren't for the stars. However, it's been proven time and time again that no matter how big a star someone is they can still make movies that flop. When "Titanic" came out there weren't any "big names" in it at the time although Leonardo DeCaprio and Kate Winslet are now among the biggest names in the business. The story pulled the audience in by the millions and made them into stars.

i realize something when i read your response, some actors got a big names in film industries because of the good story that they're belong... but-- sometimes they making names because they're good in acting...

I do not like to watch thriller or horror movies. When I watch them I find myself trading places with one of the actors and entering the movie and then I get really scared and have trouble sleeping because I think whatever happened in the movie will be happening to me.
I will stick with comedies..safer that way.

hmm if you're talking about a thriller movie then for me it has gotta be the actors staring in that film. haha. coz i'm not much of a thriller fan so one of the things that would make me want to watch the movie is the actors and actresses in it. wink

It's the animated stories that attracts me to movies. The last animated film I saw at the theaters was Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.

its the story, i consider as the back bone of a movie.Of course it should be handled by a competent director. If the said conditions are there I'll not bother who the actors are .


meipan (22)   ranked 2,771 out of 11,315 in watching movies  10 months ago

how should you know that it was a good movie to watch if the actors are not know?
i mean.. for example... you're picking a movie to watch in cinema and they're too much to watch... which would you choose? those movie that have a big productions or those movies that have unknown actors?
