Watch the Opening Titles

When you watch a movie at home, it’s tempting to start the movie and then get comfortable, grab a soda, finish a conversation, etc. If you do this you miss one of the most important parts of the movie: the opening titles.

Good movies will orient you to the movie’s world and purpose with the titles: they only happen once in a film, so skipping them like the opening of a TV show loses a lot of important information. To set yourself up to enjoy the movie with your whole self, finish pouring your drink before you press play.
