Watch them as an art form- like paintings there's something to gather. It may be a profound thought, or even a question that makes you question life as a whole.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

I watch movies because they invigorated my mood and merely brought me to certain adventures. Living a week or a month without a movie is pointless. It's always plausible to watch movies for we grasp several noteworthy points to take.

I watch movies for leisure and to see how the characters relate to each other in terms of movements and communication. In some movies, the actors show chemistry while other actors lack this important aspect.

Why Do I Watch Movies?
I watch movies because it's almost like time traveling. You get to go anywhere and see anything, it all depends on you. Movie lovers usually though subconsciously find themselves fitting into one of the characters due to personalities or simlarities in the events. At other times, we show support to our favorite characters and want them to succeed. What is more special is,they don't always have to be 'good'.
These are reasons to watch TV, for learning, entertainment or to just burst your emotions, and also, to simply pass time.

I watch movies mainly for entertainment. I mean what better way is there to spend your free when you are home alone, don't have any work to do.. well apart from reading books. I love the fact that it is engagine, visual and there is all sorts of genres to choose from. My own favorite, Sci-Fi. It is scientific innovations and ideas, as well as controversial life events awaiting to happen (robotic world, future advancement in tech and its effect on humans, zombie or alien invasion, time travel.... and much more) It is educational and eye opening.

Why do I watch movies? I watch movies for a lot of reasons; I watch movies to relax, I watch them for fun, I watch them because to me watching a movie is like escaping into an amazing alternate universe especially if it is a movie that I really like.

I sometimes need escape from the reality of my life. That's one of the many reasons why I like to watch movies

I usually do it to relax and free up my mind..that was recently when I am an adult or when I have got other stuff to do. It's like shifting from the world of reality into a fictional world and back just to clear some air.
a musical mind!

Movies mostly act like little escapes for me. When you watch a movie you end up forgetting a bit about your reality and it is a good break we all need from time to time.

I love stories and like to know about different things. So whenever I watch movies I get to know something new. Plus watching movies is always fun.

I watch movies for a ton of reasons. It has become a remedy for alleviating stress for me. It stuns me every time I meet someone who doesn't watch movies though.

Watching movies and really understanding the concept of it takes one to a new dimension. It temporarily serves as an escape but also a form of entertainment.
