A movie is truly great if and only if...

you can remember the name of the protagonist one week after you see the movie. I usually find that I like movies as I'm watching them and as I'm leaving the theater however a good rule of thumb I always use to see if the movie is worth another visit or if I want to shell out 20 bucks when it comes out on dvd is to see if I can recall the name of the protagonist one week after I have watched the movie.

What system do you guys use to decide if the movie is worth another go?

I don't think any movies are worth a second watch. Very few movies are worth watching to begin with.

I don't really like movies.

I didnt like I Am Legend that much but i remember Dr. Robert Neville.DonV21

A movie is only good if.. you got your friends/family/gf/bf/etc. Watching besides you :DBloodseeker23

I'll take the gf part. Friends...meh. Bf...not I. Family..meh.

A movie is great if it effects you in someway.

If you get a positive feeling thinking back on it then it was good.

ha, thats what i thought of too. although i thought the movie was pretty good. nothing epic or groundbreaking, but entertaining.

anyway, its a bad system for judging movies.

I don't know the name of the main character from Pursuit of Happiness, and I really liked them movie.

The name of the main character from House of the Dead is burned into my brain forever, but that movie...

I had trouble remembering the name of the protagonist in Fight Club but I bought it anyway.....:)TheManOfChoice

That's because they never mention his name....
