Why do you watch the type of films you do?
I watch the films I do because I like the story line of it. It can also come down to the type of genre of the film thats why most of my films above are mostly Romantic apart from a couple. Another reason why I watch the films I do is because they all come from the same Author or the same director for example 'The Notebook, Charlie St, Cloud and The Last Song' all come from the same Author Nicholas Sparks.

It depends of what film is out at the moment, if I see a film I like I will go see it. But usually I go to the cinema about once or twice a week.

I do enjoy going to the cinema as you have a better atmosphere of the film as it is on a big screen and you get a better experience over all. Going to the cinema is defiantly different to watching films on your television because as I said before the screen is huge and you can see a lot more than if you watched it on your television at home.

I watch films on the television nearly every day. I always see a film on the television that I want to watch or if I want to watch that film again. But I like watching films on the television every sunday on channel five as they put on some really good, interesting films.
