There are only six movies that I’m excited about. I’m not even that excited about Jurassic World based on the trailer, but I’m a sucker for dinos. Also, only four of those movies are during my A-List window. Then, I would see four more movies in the window for pop culture’s sake. Then there are another 11 movies I would be willing to watch alone and two if someone else wanted to see it. That’s over 21 movies this summer. That justifies the price of A-List.
But, knowing that I will watch Avatar 3 at least twice, is that enough to warrant an A-List for an entire year? This winter, I have only spent money on one movie, and from the look of things, there are only two more movies that I am missing out on.
It doesn’t make sense monetarily to pay for the entire year, but having the option to see a movie as something to be excited about makes me think I will keep my subscription this year.
