The Latest Movies and TV Shows

Are you spending too much time looking for that great movie only to find out that you picked a real dud once you have made your selection? The next time you set aside an evening with a friend or love one for movie night, consider watching one of the antiquated classics instead of the over-hyped new films. If you think about it, choosing a classic only makes sense: it has stood the test of time. True classics will entertain you as much today as they did moviegoers 20 years ago. When considering a classic, utilize these tips and check out Movies and TV Shows from Amazon.

1. Seek an expert's recommendation. A trip to the bookstore can make all the difference in choosing a good old film. Movie guides like Roger Ebert's movie guide or The Video Hound Guide to Movies will get you started. Film critics have compiled these movie almanacs, and they often update them yearly. Not only do they provide you with a reliable resource but an entertaining one as well.


2. Consider classics you may have unintentionally missed. We can all relate to this picture: you are visiting with friends, and a classic movie title comes up in the conversation. When you confess that you have never seen the film, eyebrows raise and lips purse, and you feel foolish. Make a note of those movies, and then watch them on your next movie night. Next time you will not feel left out of the conversation when your friends are discussing the great classics.


3. Try genre diving for example. Genre refers simply to a category, in this case, a category of film. Maybe you prefer mysteries, westerns, or romances. In any case, you will most likely be able to find the classic film that fits into your category preference. Moreover, you have missed out by not seeing just how great some of these old classic are.  


4. Search for the newest edition. Once you have your movie title chosen, find the best copy available. Nothing will ruin a good old movie like scratchy sound and fuzzy video quality. Finding the most up-to-date version of a classic will help you avoid these problems. Many times classic DVD's will also have extras about the actors and the film making process itself that makes them even more enjoyable.


5. Find someone who appreciates your film and watch it with him or her. You will enjoy your film even more if you can find someone else who both enjoyed it and with whom you can discuss the film when it is over. This movie night may even serve as a touchstone between you and your fellow viewer.


6. Find and then choose actors you appreciate. If you still cannot figure out what to watch, choose a movie with an actor that you enjoy. Maybe you have never seen a Doris Day film but have seen enough clips of her to think she might make you laugh. Regardless of the circumstances, movies with class movie stars genuinely provide you with some fantastic entertainment. You can find the new releases by clicking below:
