I love good movies. I think I'm a movie buff. But then, just like I said, I only watch good movies. A good movie or film has a lot of positive effects on me. I try to catch a movie once a week. And if my schedule permits, I initiate a DVD marathon just so I could keep up with my "movies to watch" list.
I get movie schedules from ClicktheCity.com. For Filipino films, I get recommendations from friends. For Holywood films, I get resources (i.e. movie reviews, movie trailers, news, features, etc.) from NYTimes.com. They have this special section dedicated to those.
For me, a good movie is something that interests me. It catches my attention from start to finish. It doesn't make me want to sleep. I think of it even after I left the cinema or movie house. I recommend it to friends. I can watch it over and over again without losing interest. It's that plain and simple.
I see movie watching as a fun activity. The experience is made more fun if shared with people close to your heart. It's a great way to bond, too. That's the reason why I make it a point to watch movie with my family and friends. It doesn't matter if it happens only once a week. What's more important is the quality of the movie and the quality of time spent together.
Aside from encouraging happy times with family and friends, below are the other things a good movie does to me:
