Then he turned the tables on me and asked what I liked about it. I felt like a deer in headlights. Actually, more like those kids on Apple Jacks commercials in the 90s that were just confronted with the fact that the cereal doesn't, in fact, taste like apples (or "jacks" presumably). I, like the kids in the commerical, eventually setteled on "I just did, alright?! ALRIGHT!?!?".

It's harder to justify why one likes a well put together piece of entertainment than it is to pick it apart, because enjoyment of something (especially movies) is meant to be seemless and invisible.

We're not supposed to say "A-HA, a moment of emotional catharsis!" when we hit that spot in the film (unless we're a pretencious film snob). The same way good special effects don't draw attention to themselves and a great score doesn't take you out of the movie.
