It's a very lazy friendship, if you ask me.
When you get down to the matter at hand, our little fetish of watching films is no more than voyeurism.

Humans are inherently curious. Just notice when there's an accident on the road, everyone has to stop and look (although there are those few who resist the urge, and btw we like those drivers!)..Humans have a natural thirst for..well..gossip (term used loosely of course).
Movies, too are a breath of fresh air from our usual routines, it provides us a safe way to feel different emotions that we may not have acces to daily...at no cost to us, other than our $9 a person...
