Anyone that sees what I post about knows I watch a whole lot of movies.
For the most part, I watch anything new if it is in the genres I like.
Consequently, I watch too many really bad movies.
Lately, I have found few movies worth watching to completion.
For me, a movie needs to look like it was professionally made.
This is why I do not prefer the found footage, shaky cam shot films.
Where some might find them artful and unique, I find them unwatchable.
Then there is the films that are shot professionally by the story is garbage.
I have trouble watching bad writing no matter how well the actors portray their characters.
Depending on my mood, I can watch a syfy original type movie or shut it off.
I do find that a badly written movie with higher production standards are worthy of a single watch.
Since I control which movies I see, I can determine when and if I rewatch a movie.
Sometimes, upon first impression, I won't care for a movie but will rewatch it to see if it grows on me.
There are a few that I have hated on first watch but have grown fond of them by rewatching them a few times in succession. Shin Godzilla Resurgence was one such movie.
Recently, I have not seen many first watch movies that I care for.
I have a folder where I keep movies that I really like and at these times, I rewatch them.
I remember when I watched cable/satellite tv.
My movie choices were very limited.
Then came Netflix (I was a Netflix subscriber before they went public).
After a time, I found that even Netflix and Video Rental Stores had a limited selection.
Now, I stream movies. I can watch nearly any movie I want to watch, when I want to watch it.
I've determined that there are some movies, I can rewatch anytime and still enjoy.
What movies can you always watch and enjoy?
