            My Three Ways to Choose a Movie to See

                                             By Cindy 

Thousands of films are made every year, but few of them can catch major populace’s attention. Before stepping into the theater, the audiences have their own ways to decide upon which movie to see. I am an avid moviegoer, and I judge a film according to three aspects: the title, the director, and the leading cast. Titles which hint mysterious and romantic stuff attract me, for example, E.T., Ghostbusters, Meet Joe Black, Seven, An Affair to Remember, Sense and Sensibility, You’ve Got Mail, Finding Neverland, and The Age of Innocence. In addition, I often choose movies simply because of who directed them. For instance, Martin Scorsese is my favorite one, even though he never won an Academy Award. There are some remarkable passion and power in his films. The Aviator, The Age of Innocence, and Taxi Driver are his works. Besides his works, films of Steven Spielberg (the director of Jaws, E.T., Schindler’s List, and Jurassic Park), Alfred Hitchcock (the director of Psycho and The Birds), and Peter Jackson (the director of The Lord of the Rings) are worthy to see. Moreover, I just cannot stand to miss some stars’ acting, such as William Hurt in A Couch in New York, Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient, Tom Cruise in Top Gun, Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, Emma Thompson in Sense and Sensibility, Robert De Niro in Meet the Fockers, Nicolas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas, Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Brad Pitt in Interview With the Vampire, Keanu Reeves in A Walk in the Clouds, Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump, Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black, Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge, and Meg Ryan in Sleepless in Seattle. They are all my favorite movie stars. They always can bring me the pleasure of seeing a movie. In short, I can easily decide a film to see, for I judge one from three aspects: the name, the director, and the leading actor of the film.
