13 Undeniable Signs That Show Your Love For Quality Cinema

If the names Martin Scorcese, Stanley Kubrick, Majid Majidi, Jafar Panahi and Francis Ford Coppola make any sense to you, then give yourself a self-five. You are in the elite group of people who have no love for commercial movie (you still cringe at the thought of Happy New Year but that is not the point). Your taste for movies is good, but people often label you as “posh” or “sassy” because they don’t understand or appreciate your taste.

1. You prefer not to watch commercial movies

 

2. You don’t watch movies for the cast but for the director

 

3. Needless to say you have that one particular director whose movies you idol worship

It’s a Quentin Tarantino movie? Have to watch it.

 

4. You dislike watching movies for the first day first show…

…because you don’t want to be disappointed by the movie.

 

5. As a matter of fact you always read reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb etc to know how the movie is

And sometimes you even end up reading the story of the movie & discussing it on movie forums.

 

6. You find dance numbers, item songs and all flashy stuff unnecessary in a movie

 

7. You have an enormous collection of offbeat movies that you’re quite proud of

Separate folders for Oscar nominations and Oscar winners.

 

8. And you eagerly watch all film award functions to watch out for not so commercial movies

 

9. People misinterpret your love for quality cinema as ‘love for serious films’

That’s incorrect coz you enjoy quality humour too. Maybe the jokes are too intellectual for them to understand. 😉

 

10. You don’t shy away from watching documentaries – you actually find them good

11. Language doesn’t stop you from enjoying foreign movies with subtitles

Have you watched that Japanese movie called, Confessions?

 

12. You find it difficult to decide on which movie to watch when going out with friends

Which more often than not turns out to be a pain in the ass for either one of you.

 

13. Because of your weird taste in movies, people around you prefer not to watch movies with you

So are we watching a Japanese movie or a Mexican today? *note heavy sarcasm*

 

14. But in spite of what people around you have to say you are not ready to give up your taste of movies

Because you can’t help it if the world is full of peasants. *hair flip*

You’re classy and you know it. 😉
