Seems as profitable as watching paint dry.

Have you seen Cecil B. DeMille?

Why do you think it's not profitable to watch Bergman movies? I usually see movies that make me show perspectives on human behaviour. Bergman made his movies in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

President Eisenhower said about Sweden in 1960s that:

"This country has a tremendous record for socialistic operation… and the record shows that their rate of suicide has gone up almost unbelievably,” said the president. “Now, they have more than twice our rate. Drunkenness has gone up. Lack of ambition is discernible on all sides."

Also, "sin, nudity, drunkenness and suicide" in Sweden were due to welfare policy excess."

That alone makes it very intriguing to understand Swedish Society and the best way to do that is to watch Swedish Cinema. It also gives me opportunity to see if what the American president was saying is true or he was not able to understand them. I do not have to believe in things depicted in Bergman's movies to enjoy his movies.

I use the public library when I want to keep apprised of the works of people I do not believe agree with me. For example I read Hillary Clinton books on loan from the library. That way I do not have to support them much. The library does buy its copies, but they are used by many people each.
