　　Movies are generallydramatic and serious, designed to make the

　　audience think, or they arewhimsical and entertaining. Both types of movies have a place in society.Serious movies can convey poignant topics with power that can alter thewatcher's perspective. On the other hand, entertaining movies add levity andmirth to life. On balance, however, I prefer entertaining movies to seriousones for a number of reasons.

　　First, life is fullof seriousness, and entertaining movies allow me to escape the pressures ofreality for a few hours. For instance, after my grandparents died, I had nodesire to sit through one of the many movies dealing with death or loss. I wasdealing with my grandparents' death emotionally, and thinking about it moreduring a serious movie would only serve to make me more depressed. What Ineeded, and found, was a comedy movie that poked fun at the frailties of lifethrough a series of sarcastic jokes. After watching how funny and quirky lifecan be, I felt better, because for a few hours I was able to lose myself insomeone else's life and forget my own despair.

　　Additionally,entertaining movies make me laugh, and laughter promotes health. Scientistsanddoctors have long extolled the virtues of laughter. Laughter reduces stress,expels noxious air, and eases strained muscles. I can vividly remember leavingan entertaining movie feeling lightened, heartened, and calm. I had donenothing except laughing, but I felt lighter, and had a very enjoyable day. Infact, I remember replaying several scenes from the movie in my mind throughoutthe day, and chuckling again. Had I watched a serious movie instead, I doubtthat I would have felt as if a burden was lifted.

　　Finally,entertaining movies provide me with pop-culture one-liners that U can laterrelive with my friends. Take the movieZoolanderfor example, a film making fun of male fashion models. In one scene, instead ofphysically fighting his archrival, the main character and the archrival have a“walk-off”-a spoof on male models walking the catwalk. This scene has become astaple of American pop-culture, and has afforded me and my friendsnumeroushours of mirth.

　　In summary, I prefer entertaining movies to seriousmovies because they allow me to escape reality, provide me with healthylaughter, and allow me and easy opportunity to connect with my friends.Entertaining movies, like entertainment in general, has been around as long asthere has been mankind. Its value has stood the tests of time and isintrinsically human.
