Everyone has different fantasies...
Well, though I fantasize about female movie stars, I would have to admit I watch the movies for, well, the movie itself. There are a few movies with "my girls" that I will rent no matter what...but for the most part, I rent movies for the probability it is a great movie. The same goes for males...I will rent ANY movie with Tom Hanks, "Jack" (you KNOW who I mean) Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Johnny Dep, Sean Penn, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Clint Eastwood, and others that don't come to mind immediately. But I'll rent movies from my "top 5" even if the movie isn't promising. I mean, I like the actors/actresses so much that I just want to see how they did (though the movie may suck). Maybe that's a sad idea to display here but that's just me.

But, I DO watch movies for the "wealth" of the movie most of the time. LOTS of foreign films that are subtitled. Sundance awards, Cann FF awards...etc. And, I don't neglect "chick flicks". Generally speaking, "chick flicks" by women directors and women writers are great movies! Why? 'Cause they had to get past the "good ole boy" network to get produced.

But, in all the movies I (and my wife) watch, I take note of the eye candy (like Mandy Moore, for example, in "A Walk To Remember"). Which was a nice movie.
