I like big tittied women and plenty of car chases.
I just want to be entertained. I'm not an artsy person. So if the movie is entertaining but not incredibly deep, I'm ok with it.
I like to be entertained. I'm not all about one specific genre. What I love most are good soundtracks and the authenticity and beauty of location. I thought Lost In Translation had all of the above.

Depends on the film, I'll pretty much watch any genre of movie, but what they're trying to pull off I want it done well.

Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
I look for craftsmanship. The writing, acting, directing, music, and so forth.
For me, a film is a whole package. If the story is phenomenal and the acting blows, I tend to fade out pretty quickly. The converse is also true. And, naturally, I like to see big-tittied women chasing cars. Boru

1. Good dialogue
2. A steady and unique plot 3. Interesting characters 4. Smart humor 5. If going from a book please stay as close to the source material is possible
I value when action and CGI isn't mistaken for substance.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I can appreciate a well-told and well-acted story that pulls me in and keeps me spellbound. I can also enjoy a movie that asks me to turn off my brain and enjoy the pretty explosions. Or the blood and gore. Or the tits. Or the upskirt panty shots. Or all of the above, if it's anime.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
