Dad, 52
Do you like movies?
Yes, it’s an escape.
Where do you usually watch movies?
Everywhere, but I love the movie theater the best. Getting popcorn the big soda and putting the chair back.
What do you look for in a movie? Is there a specific genre?
Thriller/mystery are my favorite types of films.
Is there an outside source (book, actor, recommendation) that usually informs your viewing? Do you have any actors that you tend to watch movies for?
My daughter! Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, Harrison Ford, Gene Hackman.
Do you have a favorite movie? If you can remember, what was it like watching it for the first time?
The Usual Suspects… totally blown away at the ending.
If you can remember, what’s the first movie you remember seeing?
Poltergeist - The clown scene scared the heck out of me.
Do you have a specific memory you have with a specific movie (not necessarily your favorite)?
Going to see Jaws and instead watching Inside Out 2!!!
What do you think is the best process in selecting a film to watch?
Love going in blind. But it rarely happens in this day and age.
Do you think your relationship with movies has changed since you started watching?
I’m more open to watching different types of movies than I was earlier in my life.
Final Thoughts?
Going to see Star Wars with my kids and my dad. Multiple generations enjoying the same film is a cool feeling. Seeing Jurassic Park with nobody else in the theater when it was rereleased.
