But I often took something away from it that was moving or cautionary or unsettling, or otherwise memorable. Can't say that of every movie I see.
I can only speak for myself, but for me it's not negotiable - a movie DOES have to be "entertainment".

There's only so many hours in the day and most of them are spent dealing with work and the real world. I wish to spend my free time enjoying myself. Call me hedonistic if you want, but I'm past the point of want to become "enriched" or "enlightened". I just want to get away.
