Movies or Music

I can´t pick one. They are both equally as important. It is like asking if you´d have to choose between being able to see or hear. Dreadful choice. I suppose (seeing and) movies because some music is often featured there.

Music. I don't watch movies everyday, but I do listen to music everyday.

Agreed.

Movies. I love all genres of movies, but I'm fairly picky when it comes to music.

Movies!

that's definitely my choice overall as there is definitely more movies ill go out of my way to re-watch than there is music ill go out of my way to listen to.

with that said... i would imagine music would probably win out for most people(?) simply because it uses very little of your time and offers solid enjoyment for very little time spent, assuming we are just talking a random song. but in terms of full albums then it starts to get closer to movie level time spent here. so basically those with really busy lives can still listen to a decent song a fair amount where as with movies you need a 2 hour block of time to watch and that can be hard to come by for some people i suspect.

it appears we are similar here even though i would disagree with the 'ALL genres of movies' comment as there are definitely some genres/types of movies that are very unlikely to output anything of any real worth. but i definitely agree with you when it comes to music as there is not all that much ill go out of my way to listen to where as with movies there are many. basically there is definitely a higher volume of movies ill go out of my way to re-watch vs music ill go out of my way to listen to. there is as much as 600 movies (or so) ill re-watch where as in terms of music i can't imagine there is anything remotely close to that figure in terms of albums. even if i stuck to just My Favorite Movies, which currently contains 196 movies, i doubt i could even come close to that figure in terms of music albums for me that stand out to a higher level.

Hell, if your talking and doing other things i doubt you can really get into the music your listening to as it's more of a background noise at that point.

but anyways, with that 'a movie you can only watch' comment... it makes it look like it's not much but since our sight is basically our strongest sense i feel it's hard to beat when done right in overall emotional response a movie can give you where as with music, while it can still provoke decent emotional response/feelings, i have to think a quality movie is all around better due to the visual aspect of it. but i guess since a song is short, typically 3-5 minutes of time, it can give solid emotional response for very little time spent. but i figure with quality movies, while these take up about 2 hours of your time, you get a all around better effect especially due to the visual aspect which you just can't get with music. plus, not to mention movies do have a score/soundtrack in them which can further amp up movies at times etc.

but are you saying you prefer to read books over music AND movies? ; for me reading is definitely far behind in terms of overall entertainment as quality music/movies just give me a much stronger emotional response which is the core of general entertainment. books can be decent here and there but they definitely can't top music/movies overall. maybe i am wrong, but i would have to assume your in the minority here as i can't see the majority of people (and probably the vast majority at that(?)) preferring to read a book over listening to some good music or watch a quality movie. maybe those who really get into books have a much stronger imagination then those of us who don't(?) which in turn helps boost their enjoyment of them noticeably(?) and might explain why some people like reading books over music/movies. or maybe it's relaxing for them to read in a quiet room or something.

p.s. no offense or anything.

while that would be a hard spot picking between sight and hearing... in the end losing your sight would be easily the overall worst of the two as without sight your pretty much screwed as without hearing, while it would not be easy, you could definitely function better in the world and have better overall experience from your sight than hearing for sure.

i would assume the vast majority of people would rather be deaf than blind. with that said... i would not be surprised if there are some people who would rather lose their sight over hearing but i imagine these types of people are probably music freaks etc and not like the typical person.

but i guess just looking at that whole sight vs hearing thing in regard to watching movies... obviously going without sight is not a option here but even being deaf, while you could still get a decent experience from movies, it would definitely lessen their overall effect on you without any sound as all you would have to go on is purely reading subtitles and seeing a persons emotional responses etc as any added effect from the score or soundtrack or sound effects etc would be completely wiped out.

It's a hard question to answer because I love both. Music can move me like no other artistic medium, but I love the visuality (is that a word? If not, it should be.) of films.

Tough choice but I'll take Movies.
