Think of your favorite movies of all time. What made them so special? Was it the acting, the story line, the message, the cinematography? Or something else entirely? Share your thoughts with others.
I love a good movie with gorgeous scenery and great acting. But I think more than that, a movie needs a good ending. I most enjoy movies that have layers of stories and an ending that doesn't neatly wrap everything up with a bow. So many movies these days may have a great climax, but it is all down hill from there. Why watch for two hours when the story is over in one? Endings are just as important to audience satisfaction as any other feature of a movie. For you writers out there, keep this in mind. It can be the difference between a good movie and a blockbuster.
