Why are movies so popular?

Like most my friends I like movies very much. If you ask me why movies are so popular, I think there are for reasons.
Firstly, movies in Englsh are an effective tool for learning English. I remember when I came in Malaysia to study in AIU, I always worried about my poor English, especially listening skills. Then I accepted my teacher’s advices and started to watch some English movies. Really, I’ve never watch English movies before. What made me happy was that I can little guess what the characters in the movies say when I started  and also I can learn some useful words expressions from them. I watched movies with subtitles and always introduced new English words. Really, I found that English is not difficult (and sometimes little difficult J ) to understand it is became more and more interesting for me. Now I can say movies not only improve my listening skill but also make me more interest in learning English.
Secondly, movies can satisfy different people’s need. Some people like romantic movies. They can know from those what true love is. Some young people like action movies. Some older people may like classic movies that can remind the past things. So it is obvious that movie can enrich people’s spiritual life.
Thirdly, movies can open people’s eyes. Now with the modern technique, scientist can show peoples what outside space look like in movies. Geologist can show people what earth look like millions of years ago. It is through movies that people can know cultures  from many other foreign countries without travelling.
In word, movie has been a part of people's life. Nevertheless I don`t think that movies like horrible movies and porn movies are good for all  people. Everyone knows that young people can mimic language and behaviors  that the movie showed easily so that a movie rating system is necessary.
