You've gotten quite the reputation among friends for being someone who knows their film lore. In fact, friends come to you in order to find out what movies to watch and which to ignore. But just because you adore movies doesn't mean you want to spend all of your time telling others what they should see. Instead, you might want to create a movie list that your friends can review and from there, they can make decisions as to which movie tickets or DVDs to buy. And a movie list will take up less of your time than your friends might.



A List to Rule All Lists

When you enjoy movies, you have a number of qualifications that you have in mind when it comes to rating them for yourself. You might grade a movie based on how good it is or how bad it is, or you might rate movies based on the actors or the director. No matter your rating scale, a movie list needs to be indicative of your screening process. With movie database software, you can easily compile a list of all the movies you own – most of which are movies you love too. This list can be very long, to be sure, but this will give your friends plenty to consider when they are choosing their own entertainment.

Rating Your Movies

Of course, when you create this movie list, you might want to spend some time rating the movies you've include, maybe even making notes on why you like them. With movie database software, you have the ability to do this. By leaving just a few notes in the database setup, you will begin a sort of education for your friends. And since you can print out this list and its notes, you don't have to explain everything to each friend when you recommend a movie. They can just read the list and make the decision whether or not to see what you've enjoyed.

More Time for Films

With a movie list system, you will be able to easily compile a list of movies you have seen, but this will also leave you time to add more movies to the list. Instead of recommending the latest Kate Winslet movie, you can head out to the theater and watch it yourself. You will not have to spend another moment explaining to your friend what movies you think they should see – you can go out and see the ones YOU want to see. Or you might want to bring friends along with you to the movies you are seeing or watching at home. This way, you can all discuss the film and begin your own sort of Siskel and Ebert sort of group.

A movie list that's been compiled with movie software is also easy to email and to post on websites so no matter where you are and where your friends are, you will both be able to share in the love of cinema. One movie at a time.
