...He may like a movie, here and there, but on the whole- he, in fact, did not like them.  I, on the other hand, like movies.  There are many that I don't like.   But, in gerenal, I like movies.

Sorry about quoting the first post, but I was re-reading it and something struck me.  I'm that guy.  And only in the sense that I don't consider myself a film snob, where I only watch movies of a certain genre or from a certian time or with a particular director or actor/actress.  I like movies here and there, but generally, I'd prefer to read or watch something educational on TV. 

And I realize that my watching or reading of historic documentaries and good books provide the same type enjoyment and escapism as a good movie, I just like non-fiction more.
