The Big Question

We had some great dialog last night for our second movie club meeting. But the question was presented "why do you watch movies?" That was answered with stuff like: because its entertaining; because they are funny; because they give you a break. Which are all valuable reasons. However, we consider our time to be a precious commodity and movies take up a lot of time, so my her comes my big question. Why do those reasons carry so much value today? What in your life is missing that entertainment fills? Ok that's two BIG questions but they are in the same vein at least. Let me know what you think.
