I have thousands of movies on my IMDB watch-list when I want to watch a movie and can't decide. Sometimes it's what I might have saved on my DVR. I automatically record my favorite directors and actors, and most of it is from TCM, and many times I'll look ahead and record anything that looks good. But for the thousands of movies, I tend to like something fresh, a recommendation I just heard, rather than movies I've had saved for years.
However, the best movies I see are usually as a result of someone on these boards who have passion for a certain movie, especially if I've seen good movies by the person who recommends it. And then if I see something good, I'll try to find that director's work chronologically
The last great movie I saw was "Blind" (2014), but I'm not sure how I found this unique movie. Just a minute ago, I clicked on the movie on the SEARCH bar, and noticed "Similar Movies" and saw another movie from Norway, entitled, "Thelma", which is perfect, because (along with music) I've been interested in movies centered around a woman. I posted a thread (here and elsewhere) and going through each and every suggestion, and if it looked good, I'd add it to my watch-list, and then one movie stuck out entitled "Sugarbaby" (1985) and I saw it immediately and enjoyed it, which led me to start another thread, and adding even more movies to the watch-list. After seeing a move entitled, "Thelma", I figure it must be completely centered around her, and another fantasy from Norway could be good, and possibly even better. I don't like to read more than a line, and prefer a surprise.
