What factor influences you to choose a movie?

first thing i may say is the trailer. if it is a very inviting and very interesting trailer then i will watch it based on curiosity. when a freind told me that this kind of movie is a great one then i try to watch it too. i can say i am somehow openminded in some movies but when the first 20 minutes bore me i just turn it off.

Well for me, mostly it depends on who I am with. If I'm with my friends usually it would be horror or comedy. If I'm with my mom it would be mushy Filipino movies. hehehe. If I'm with a special someone anything will do. lol But if I were to choose, I want those intriguing movies with endings that are unpredictable. Movies that trigger my mind to think.

True .we have different preferences and though I watch amny movies on tv if it is a matter of going to the theatre then I have certain specifics. I normally choose the movies based on the actor and secondly, the director.; there are exceptions like great hit comedies or hit movies based on good songs. Even in the case of good songs it has to have a favourite director of mine. SAY for eg, if it is a Rajini kant film then I would see it if he has the main role.if it is a Kamal film, it must be a thriller or fun oriented entertainment. There are exceptions like the film being directed by Manirathnam and being vey popular like[ ' Alaipayudhe". I did not go to the theatre to see kannathil muthamitall though it is by Maniratnam. Essentially the film must be an entertainer[a light masala] Jamesbond movies are something which we never miss. Then there is one exception that defies all rules; namely, if my son wants to see a movie and he suggests that we should all go together I would go and see it -eg Superman, Spiderman, Darknight/batman, Hobbit[these I really liked],Kavialvidhanaa kehena[I loathed this hindi movie but I just tagged along for company] you name it that is all. This is a standard rule-whatever he chooses we would do.My husband and I do not need any more preferences. If it is on tv I would watch comedies and romances any number of times-[especially the old ones ]If the movie has the dialogues written by Crazy Mohan I would watch it again and again because I love to be lighthearted.Romances, action based thrillers and comedies are generally my favourites and I have given the carte blanche preference also.What are your likes?

I will for surely read a reviews about the movie over the internet or magazine. with that, I will have the idea whether it's a good movie or not. I ask friend's opinion sometimes. I also consider their past movies.. like tom hunks, he do have lots of good movies, so sometimes, it influences me to watch movies because of their past movies.

maybe it's the story. of course, other factors will be bring into considered like director, actor or actress, reviews, etc. but the most important reason is story or maybe you call 'script'. have a nice day!

We recently took a movie out for rental that was supposed to be a great movie,well it was a lot of rubbish,and we said then that we should trust our instincts and go on gut reaction when we are choosing the movie.So many times the media,the press and the cinemas themselves have hyped a certain movie up,all to find that when we have watched it we have been very disappointed.But I have to admit that something with a good laugh in it appeals to me greatly,it is really refreshing to watch something funny,there is one or tow films that are in the cinemas at the moment that I want to see ,but I will be waiting till they come out on DVD.

I am never bothered about what actor or actresses are in it, I mainly go for the genre which for me is horror, if it's a horror film and 18 certificate then I will choose it, the gorier and scarier the better, trouble is my friends don't like horror films so I have to go on my own to watch them or wait till they come out on Sky. I don't tend to take much notice of reviews, but if someone for example on Mylot recommends a film to me then I will watch it, I do like other genres like scifi and will always go and see the latest Bond film but I hate slushy romance I will avoid those like the plague. I also like fantasy like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

It depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm feeling depressed and reflective, I'll watch a serious movie like Withering Heights. I've never entirely read that book by the way. I should. Or Bowling for Columbine. If I just want a funny movie, like I do this Wednesday when I'm waiting for the chair repair guy all day, I'll watch My Cousin Vinny or Back to the Future. It's also influenced by who I'm going to be watching the movie with. I know some of my friends and workers don't like certain movies so I won't watch it around them.

I am influenced by the countries that a movie is filmed in. My friends took me to see The Motor Cycle Diaries because is is a journey through South America. I like specific genres like action as long as it is not too scary, drama it is about an interesting topic and comedy if it is sensible humor. It doesn't matter to me which actors and actresses are in it. When I was a teenager I did like to see films with Tom Cruise in. I don't like horror movies because they are too scary. I prefer 15+ or PG films that 18+. My brother in law says that swearing is weak language and I agree with him. I don't like to hear bad languages and movies. Sometimes it is unavoidable and I can ignore it,

The story mainly. And sometimes, the actor/actresses also matter. I like light romantic comedies, although I watch mystery, suspense, adventure, and others, but NEVER horror. I hate horror movies.

Hi, when I want to rent or buy a movie, I always choose a movie by seen if there good actors acting on it.. like Denzel Washington or Edward Norton.. I do like also movies of action and science fiction, but I'm very selective and I can bore in about 5 minutes.. I know how to recognize a good movie by only seen a few minutes of it.. If in that interval of time it doesn't get my attention, it will never have..

i think movie reviews..they will show you that their production can impress you..

in my case it is the cast and the movie promos, if i like them i go for it.

well depends on mood but mostly i prefer war movies like comedy as well "hitch" is my fav but war movie attract me more
