What is important to you when watching a movie

Out of personal curiousity, which is important to you when watching a movie and judging a movie.

1) Hot guys/gals
2) Action. LOTS of guns/explosion/kungfu
3) Good Story Plot
4) Originality
5) Computer effects/Special effects

You can't choose one thing, or else you'd have a bad movie - just like with anything in the world. You need a good balance of actors, hot or not, good plot etc.

I'd watch a film with hot lasses in, but not to see a great film. I'd watch a film with lots of action, doesn't mean it's a great film. A good plot is always a good thing, and this accompanied with originality usually make me enjoy a movie the most.

Saw Indiana Jones today, and thought Speilberg managed to fuse together loads of films he's made with it; and god damn the man's obsessed with a family backstory, still quite good though.

Why are good acting performances or good cinematography/direction not on the list?
Where is it changes depending on what mood I'm in?

Depth of character and atmosphere. There is nothing worse than 2d cardboard cutout characters and atmosphere with the depth of a spoon, it spoils the movie for me. See the new Eye remake with Jessica Alba for an example lol

Bill, do you honestly think someone who puts "Hot gals/guys", "Action. LOTS of guns/explosion/kungfu", and "Computer effects/Special effects" gives a shit about film-making as an art form?

Not in any particular order of importance...three main areas of concern for me:

1. Literary/Theatrical - writing, plot and character development, acting.
2. Aesthetic - direction, cinematography, photography.

Broken Flowers is a wonderful film.

I hate Hollywood's obsession with happy endings and lessons.

I love films with a good plot, good actors (doesn't mean attractive and rarely means popular) and great aesthetic qualities.

Just a good plot. Everything else will either flourish or fail depending on the plot.

Hot men are always a bonus. Not the pretty ones like Jude Law, though.
