How do you decide which movie to watch next?
I'm curious about this: how do you decide which movie to watch next?
Do you use this forum (with the Movie You're Watching Tonight thread for example)? Friends tastes? Some recommendation service? |
Re: How do you decide which movie to watch next?
for art movies I look at movies mr minio likes

If you cannot even decide what movie to watch, how do you make life decisions?

Do you use this forum (with the Movie You're Watching Tonight thread for example)? Friends tastes? Some recommendation service? I haven't saw a movie in over a week, I can never choose.... It's the hardest decision I make every day. I have hundreds of movies to choose from right in front of me, and I spend about the length of a movie trying to decide, and usually don't... I tried breaking the streak by watching "Carrie", since I saw a few minutes of it on TV when I was younger, but I couldn't really get into it... I thought it would be an "easy" movie for me to get back into the groove, but it was not... My goal today was to watch a movie, but I slept very late, and woke up very early and will have to delay this for another day. Sometimes, it's about practicality.. If my DVR is near full, I'll try to pick something from there. When I used to go the library, I'd try to prioritize those 6 movies I'd get for a week. I usually revert to old posts to find things, AND, I tend to jump from Top 10 to Top 10, thinking "If they also loved my #3 favorite movie, I might like a movie on theirs I haven't saw". |

*sees movie*
“Sure, I’ll check that out.” “watches movie* |
Re: How do you decide which movie to watch next?
Most of the time I watch films by directors that I like and didn't watched all of his movies yet. Like Ozu, Scorsese, Mizoguchi, Shinoda, Hideo Gosha etc.
But some times it depends of my mood. I'm in the mood for some gangster flick? Well, I check my watchlist and search some gangster film, same thing if I want to watch some gorefest, action, drama or art films. |

Mood. If I feel like a comedy I wont choose war genre or drama. I take recommendations from people with similar taste but I wont just run out immediately and get it if I dont feel in the mood. I also wont automatically see something just because it's popular or critically acclaimed, or just because it has la la land level awards. |

Do you use this forum (with the Movie You're Watching Tonight thread for example)? Friends tastes? Some recommendation service? I get onto a movie kick and watch films from a certain director, or actor, or genre or subject mater...until I get onto a new kick. Also I read Rate The Last Movie You Saw Last Night and get lots of ideas for movies I've never even heard of. After awhile I found that some MoFos have similar taste so that when they post I make sure and research the movie they just said they watched and liked. Jemo, you could tell us what you like in movies, and then ask for recommendations. I would recommend something for you but I have no idea what you like except V for Vendatta (excellent film!) but what did you like about it? What other types of films do you like? |
Check watchlist ---> Use random.org ---> Pick one to watch at random ---> Realize that I'm not in the mood for that specific film ---> Use random.org again ---> Repeat as many times as necessary
I'm actually terrible at managing this. |

Find a movie with a plot/director/genre that's right up my alley.

I have them listed and the list is numbered, so I just randomize the number.

For me its all about the mood. Gonna watch The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington tonight. Sometimes when I am unable to decide, I just sift through the collection and just go with the movie that brings back some sort of memories or something ;)
