16. "I don't think it's about quality"
In response to In response to 10

          

I think people just don't think they are getting enough bang for their buck if a movie is only an hour long. With the cost of popcorn, soda, tickets, parking, what have you and the quickness with which things are now released on DVD would probably keep most people from going to see a 60 minutes film (although it could be great for little kids movies since a lot of youngsters can't sit still for two hours).
