A good script. If only there was a writer/s out there who is/are talented in
every area the way Tina Fey is in writing comedy, every movie would be a
blockbuster. When times are bad, comedy is always the way to go. Right now we all need more "good" comedy.

It all depends on my mood at the moment and who I'm going to see the movie with.

Also, an ending that answers every question....and I like plots that are twisted up on themselves...so you're always trying to figure it out and then BAM! ....omg, that's what happened?? I like to be surprised.

I don't like movies that are like "Lifetime movies," movies that are predictible from the very first scene. It's annoying when you can watch a movie and make predictions that come true every couple minutes.

a movie always has to have a good story line and a good climax then it would matter wich characters play the part(actors) example the best story line ever created was face off. the part fit nicoles cage and travolta but the story was off the hook amazing.

The story line is the most important. I couldn't care less about how many cars they crash or how many people they kill. One of the best movies I've ever seen was African Queen. I also liked Apocalypse Now, Dos Boot, Grumpy Old Men, and a number of others.

WAY to many movies nowadays rely solely on special effects to make the movie interesting... absolutely nothing can make up for a bad story though
