Top 5 Methods to Find Good Movies
Movies are a wonderful hobby. The movies are enjoyed by people all over the world. There are thousands of movies made every year and millions of moviegoers. It’s easy to find a movie you haven’t seen yet, but it’s hard to find a good movie you’d like to see. Fortunately, there are several ways to find movies that you might like to watch. Below is a list of various ways to find new movies to watch.
1) Newspaper Movie Reviews: This is an age-old approach to finding which movies to watch. And it still works! Well, not always. The challenge for you is to find a movie critic who has a similar taste in movies as you do. This requires time and effort on your part. You may find a good reviewer right away, but it usually takes time. Critics are just people, and they make mistakes too. The strategy is for you to read a reviewer’s reviews and judge how well their opinion matches yours. After a while, you’ll have a good idea of which reviewer you like most. Once you find a reviewer you like, stick with it! It’s hard to find a good one.
2) RankAMovie.com – RankAMovie is a website that allows anyone to add movies and rank them into various categories. We all know the classic categories: best horror, best comedy, best drama, etc. Well, this website helps you find recommendations for the best movie to watch at 2 in the morning when you don’t feel like sleeping. It’s a good way to find a recommendation for a good baseball movie. Just view a category that interests you and read the description of any movies you haven’t seen yet. Once you see a movie, go back and rate it with a happy or sad face, to help others know if it’s a good movie to watch.
3) Netflix – The Netflix website has revolutionized the modern approach to movie rental. You can browse its vast stock of movies and add movies to your queue. As you watch movies and return them, the next movie in your queue will be mailed to you. Your account type determines how many movies you can rent at one time. You can rent a movie and then rate it on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being the best. The website has a tool that will recognize which movies you’ve enjoyed in the past and try to match your interests with those of other movie fans. Based on other people’s movie ratings, you’ll get recommendations for what to watch next.
4) Fan Sites – This isn’t necessarily a way to find new movies to watch, but it can help you find other movie fans with similar tastes as you. Of course, you’ll need to be a fan of some actor or type of movie first. Let’s say you love horror movies, then you could find a horror fan site and read the site for recommendations. Sometimes the fansite will help you find good movies. But sometimes these sites aren’t that helpful.
5) Friends – Yes, your friends are a great way to find new movies to watch. Just ask them for a recommendation at lunch. You can send them a quick email to ask for recommendations. Better yet, pick up the phone and ask them for recommendations. And, of course, ask how they are and say hello. They will thank you for calling.
Your free time is limited. Use these various methods to find good movies. Don’t waste your free time with bad movies. And remember to check out these websites or contact friends to help others find great movies to watch!
