I have a very simple definition of a good movie: a good movie makes you forget you’re watching a movie. Michael Cimino

I believe how you measure a good movie is how many times you can see it. With comedies, I like to be a producer, because comedies can get corny and go off track real fast. I’m always the ‘less is more’ guy when it comes to a scene. So I’ma be the one who will keep it grounded. Ice Cube
When sequencing an album, you kind of have to look at it like you’re making a movie with different acts, and you have ebb and flow, peaks and valleys. You want it to feel like a journey or a good movie or book where you can actually feel very satisfied at the ride at the end of it. Mike Portnoy

I don’t want people to go to a film of mine because they feel guilty, like, ‘I have to support it because there’s black folks in there.’ I want them to go because it’s a good movie. Gina Prince-Bythewood
I do think ‘The Notebook’ is a darn good movie. Matt Lanter
Putting something in a movie because it’s in the news doesn’t make it political to me. If you’re not going outside the same old, same old, if you’re not pushing the envelope, then you’re not doing anything. A good movie is a political thing. Sean Penn
You can’t please everyone… If you make a good movie, that’s all that matters. Matthew Vaughn
I did not think that a good movie was the equivalent of a good stage play, any more than I thought an automobile ride was as exhilarating as a drive behind a spirited horse, nor a trip by steam as soul-satisfying as a voyage by sail. Preston Sturges
I think that a good movie creates its own world, and that world needn’t refer to anything that’s real. If it’s consistent, if it’s entertaining, if it’s interesting, it justifies its being there. Christopher Walken

Nick Hornby
A word on ‘Kingdom of Heaven:’ if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you’ll see why it’s such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it’s the film I’m most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly. Ridley Scott

I won’t call my work entertainment. It’s exploring. It’s asking questions of people, constantly. ‘How much do you feel? How much do you know? Are you aware of this?

What makes a good book and what makes a good movie are totally different things. Seth Grahame-Smith
The truth is that filmmaking is not really an actor’s medium; it’s really a director’s medium, so all I can really control is the character that I’m playing.

Sometimes I pick parts because I think, ‘OK, it scares me,’ and that’s an indication it’s going to be a good movie for me to do. Sometimes that leaves me in a terrible… Well, it doesn’t always pan out, you know? Casey Affleck

We have to make movies where we do not think this is for the American market or this is for the Chinese market. We have to make a good movie that anyone would just want to sit down and watch because love, language, culture transcend everything. Michelle Yeoh
You can be the lead in a movie just for the sake of being a lead in a movie, or you can just be in a good movie. Bill Hader
I’m all in favor of people – myself included – going into the same territory if there’s something that can be done with it. But if somebody says, ‘Make a sequel to ‘Heathers’,’ I feel like, no, someone should make a good movie that’s a dark, satirical comedy that has that sensibility. Michael Lehmann
You don’t put your personal viewpoints in a good movie. A movie should only be concerned with characters, not some big moral, although it’s always underneath. Paul Morrissey
I have a certain kind of a taste for what will make a good movie or a good play or theater. Marc Platt
Every good movie I watch, the hero becomes my favourite. I start blushing every time a hero romances a heroine. Hansika Motwani
The business of horror movies goes up and down, and people are always like, ‘It’s working,’ ‘It’s not working,’ but generally, I think if you make a good movie that’s scary, people will come. Jason Blum
‘Analyze This’ is a good movie because Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal are really good. But without the material to put on the play, of course, they couldn’t be good. For me, it starts with the writing. I always think that the writer is doing the vast majority of the director’s work, in a sense. Harold Ramis
I found that the quality of TV material that came to me was so great and was just often better than the film material I got. And when I find a good movie that I really like, I jump on it because it’s exciting to do. Damian Lewis
