Yeah, it all depends on my mood.
Sometimes, I just don't want to think too much. I want to watch a movie that will just allow me to turn my brain off. Other times, I want to watch something that makes me think, makes me cry, makes me laugh....etc. I can't even really explain it any better than that.
I watch more horror than anything though, really, that's just usually what I am in the mood for. When I watch films I usually just want to have fun (cheesy, bad horror or horror comedies) or I want to be "scared" (though scared is probably technically the wrong word, since I am not REALLY scared, though I am ridiculously easy, even now, to make jump) in a safe way.
Most of the ones I have not gotten around to, the must watch ones, are just because I want to be in a mood where I will give it the appreciation it deserves. My mood can often KILL a movie for me. If I watch any kind of movie in the wrong mood, I may hate it. The only movie I can think of, that I can just pop in, no matter what my mood and enjoy? Evil Dead 2. Its why its my favorite movie.
So, basically I read the back, if the storyline seems to fit my mood for that night, I pop it in. I am sometimes wrong...LOL....;) Sometimes, I think about what I have heard here or elsewhere, and if it seems like it might fit, I go for it. But then there are some movies that I KNOW will fit that mood, sometimes I just want something familiar.
