We are basically just way too different too be able to agree on much.
Yeah, it seems that way. like at our core of how we approach movies is just too different when we get to the basics on how we see movies as a whole.
come to think of it... maybe I should make a poll around here just to see what people think about this whole re-watch stuff. I could make a very simple poll like... "Do you re-watch movies?" with a simple 'Yes' or 'No' answer but I would rather have a little more detailed one of maybe something like... "How often do you re-watch movies?" with multiple choices like... never, rarely, 1-5 a month, 6-10 a month, etc etc.
but anyways, while I can't say for sure... my best guess is that people who watch a lot of movies in general probably re-watch a good portion of movies especially after they have seen plenty of movies because I just don't understand how someone could barely re-watch any movies as I would have to assume just about anyone who gets into movies would at least re-watch some of their favorites here and there at the very least. because, maybe it's just me, but after you have seen plenty of movies it just becomes difficult finding movies of any real worth that you have not already seen which is why I re-watch plenty of movies that I consider favorites etc as it keeps movies as a whole interesting for me. so for those, like you I assume(?), who don't have that general mindset... it's hard for me to see things from their point of view especially given the vast majority of movies are nothing special.
As I have told you before, I still find movies I like on a weekly basis. As do most people.
You have to admit that most people like a lot more movies than you do. Director Edgar Wright compiled a list of his 1000 favorite movies for example and there are critic lists of the 1000 greatest movies ever made.
like just say there is roughly high thousands range (say 5000-9999) of movies out there (I know there is more but once you remove complete crap that almost no one likes from the equation I would assume the field to choose from is a lot less)... how many of those are of any real worth? ; not many as only about 8-9% of everything I have seen is good enough for me to call a favorite and about 11% that's close to favorite level and about 26%-ish MAX are good enough for a Thumbs Up. I realize that some people are more easily pleased than I am when it comes to movies, and that's fine, but even amongst these people they got to draw the line somewhere which is why I generally go back to the re-watch thing to determine what really stands out for them vs what's does not etc. you get the gist.
There are more than 100,000 movies out there. There are more than 5000 movies that have a 7/10 or higher on imdb just so you know and there are more than 50 movies each year that get a fresh rating on Rottentomatoes.
We both seem to like Jerry Maguire though.
I rate Jerry Maguire 9/10 and it is among my 100 favorite movies.
I do re-watch movies btw, just not as often as most people. I have seen Jerry Maguire about 5 times for example.
