I Really Love Movies | A Arts-and-Entertainment Article
I love watching movies. I enjoy going to the theater and being transported to another time and place. But more than watching a movie in the theater, I love watching movies at home. Its so much more peaceful. The only interruptions are the ones I create. I dont have to be annoyed by the inconsiderate movie-goer who simply has to send a text message or check his or her email during the movies. (As if that blue glow isnt a distraction to the rest of the audience. ) And by watching a movie at home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I get to have my favorite snacks, not the $5 bag of popcorn they try to sell me at the concession stand.
Im not the most physically active guy on the planet. I sit behind a desk for work, and often work 60 or more hours a week. I love to watch action movies where I can imagine Im the hero, doing things I might never do in real life. The latest James Bond flick or superhero movie lets me experience these adventures vicariously. There are even some movies that have such great effects you almost feel like youre actually having the adventure.
While Im a huge action movie fan, my wife really likes the sci fi / fantasy genre. When its her turn to pick the movie, thats often the genre shell select. Shes a big fan of the Star Wars and Star Trek movies, even though she can admit that they are possibly not the best movies ever made. She also enjoys watching her favorite Sci Fi television shows on DVD. Currently, she is anxiously awaiting the Battlestar Galactica television series on DVD. And even though Im not a sci-fi fan, I know it could be worse, she could be into chick flicks!
Lately Ive been into the old mafia movies. I cant seem to get enough of the Godfather,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Goodfellas, and Casino. Weve watched them so many times we quote lines at each other. Its gotten to the point, that we can usually even distinguish which mafia movie and character were referring too,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and my wife is working on perfecting her Brooklyn accent!
You dont really need any fancy equipment to watch movies, but last year, I convinced my wife I needed a 52 flat screen television and a surround sound system. So we saved up and that was my birthday present. Now, were the house that all our friends want to hang out at. We have a great set up and put out a good spread. We get pizza and beer and soda and chips and we take turns picking a movie and thats our Friday night. We do that almost every weekend.
There are so many fantastic movies to choose from that well never run out of things to watch. And its not just movies. We also really enjoy watching TV series on DVD. The best part about that is not having to wait for your show to resume after hiatus. And lately it seems like the TV executives think a season is comprised of six episodes. Its really annoying. Just after youve fallen into a routine, your show either goes off the air for a few weeks or goes into reruns. Watching the entire series on DVD means having to wait until the series is over, but you get to immerse yourself in the story. We tried watching 24 in 24 hours, but couldnt -- it took us more like 72. But we didnt forget what Jack said or did in that time, and it was a much more impactful way to watch that series.
Then there are the classics. I could watch The Shawshank Redemption at least once a month, and Im not the only one. Its the top rated movie of all time according to the Internet Movie Database. Sure there are other forms of entertainment worth pursuing. Its great to get outside. But for me, nothing beats setting up the DVD player with a movie Im looking forward to watching, grabbing a snack and a beverage and my wife, and sitting on the couch,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], being transported to a different place and time for 2 or 3 hours. I love the movies.
