Movies are often a great subject for discussion because they give us material to reflect on our own lives and our relationships with others. Similarly to books, movies offer an escape from reality and provide us with experiences that maybe we wouldn’t get in real life, but for many people, it is more enjoyable than books as it is in an image form.

While it is a hobby and a nice relaxing way to spend the evening, there are even more hidden reasons why people like watching movies besides the entertainment part. Associate Professor of Psychology at Columbia College Chicago Rami Gabriel, Ph.D explains that this activity is what makes us part of a society: “Over the last 80 years, cinema has become a reliable, effective medium for telling stories. In other words, cinema is a preeminent mode for the generation of participation in the myths of our times. The emotional intensity of the ritual, of contact with mythology, is what draws belief, salience, and importance into the encounter.”

While movies are definitely enjoyable, they are quite beneficial as well. ABC Everyday points out that movies help us learn and shape the way we view our world. Films might be so impactful that they can cause people to take action to change some societal norms that are wrong. One of the examples Weforum gives is the 2004 movie The Day After Tomorrow, which raised awareness on climate change, as a Yale University study showed.

Movies often show the difficult choices people have to make or tragic events they experience, so they become a sort of therapy, because people who have experienced trauma can relate to the character and be inspired to push through. And even though films often touch us on a personal level, it is also an art form, so by watching it, you are participating in a cultural phenomena and appreciating the way the film was put together.

Not all movies have the same artistic value or are as impactful as others, so some might be less enjoyable to watch and you may not experience the same benefits. Therefore, you want to choose the best one so as not to feel like you’ve wasted your time after.
