Entertainment Value is the sole reason I revisit a movie. I've enjoyed (and still do) movies with bad stories, actors, special effects (not all these things in one film mind you... usually) but sometimes there's an intangible element to a film that just hooks me and I end up really liking that movie. As far as picking a movie, I think most of the time I go because I hear about the story and it intrigues me so I go see it, either that or it's based on a book or comic that I already enjoy the story from which also draws my attention. Anyway, I'd say MOST of the time it's the story, but a lot of these things can grab me. For instance, I'm going to see the next Christopher Walken movie, or the next Bruce Campbell movie. Do I know what these are? Nope, but I'll be there. Combinations like A Dangerous Method are great too, I heard Cronenberg was making a new movie so I was excited to see it and then I read what it was about and could hardly contain my excitement.
