Watch a movie with a friend.

If you have a friend or two, go watch a movie with them. This is one of the best ways to spend time with someone, and it's also pretty easy to do. You can talk about what happened in the movie while you're watching it and then discuss it more after. It's an excellent way to learn more about each other—you'll get to know why they like certain things (and don't) as well as how they feel about certain issues that come up during movies or TV shows. Sounds great? Let's see the next tip.

Select a Movie based on your preferred genre.

We human beings, we always have different tastes. That's why different movie Genres exist to satisfy our tastes. If you're into Sci-Fi movies, watching a romantic comedy may be a waste of time to you, because chances that you won't enjoy it are high. Therefore always have Genres that you consider compelling to you before selecting a movie. They can be as many as you like because somebody like me always enjoy every genre of the movie that I come across.

Select a movie based on the year it was Premiered.

This can be more important if you want to learn; trends, culture, fashion, technology and any other thing that happened during that period. If you want to learn some of the things that happened in the 80s you can consider watching 80s movies. However, some movies might have been produced in the present time but have a storylines or scenes that occurred in the past. In such circumstances you can read the movie overview to learn what the movie is all about.

Watch the Trending movies.

For a movie to trend, of course it must have ignited the preferences of many people meaning it can also startle you. Therefore selecting a trending movie might be guarantee that you can enjoy it.

Always watch with subtitles on.

Subtitles are a great way to improve your understanding of the movie. When you watch without subtitles, you can't read along with the dialogue and get lost in what's happening on screen. If you're watching with subtitles turned on, on the other hand, it's much easier for you to pick up on what is being said and understand what's happening in most movies.

Subtitles can also help with learning foreign languages.

Think about the movies you love.

This will help you resonates with the scenes and the starrings in the movie as you try to put yourself into their shoes. It will also make you understand the movie even more better and you might try to apply entertainment to your own life. Interesting?

Try to identify what makes a movie great.

is it scenes? Storyline? Your favourite actor/actress or the movie genre. Record what you find depicable on your phone or laptop then you can review it later and use it to select movies to watch next time you want to watch. This will guide your movie selection and you won't struggle with unnecessary movies that doesn't suits your specifications.

However much, this might somehow sound irrational because people will give their reviews based on their specifications. Reading movies reviews and ratings can give you a clue and insight about the movie and this will enable you to weigh your expectations about the movie you're about to watch.
