...to watch, obviously.

Some of us select a film basing purely on feedback from others, specially like-minded friends/contacts. Others decide by the director/makers, or the actors involved, performances, story/script, etc.

But if you had to select just ONE feature associated with a movie, which would it be?

For me, it's the story/script/premise. If it appeals to me, then I will select the film overlooking other crucial things listed above. Of course, weak direction and cardboard actors/characters can take away vital viewing interest, but I usually ignore those and favor a strong script.

Maybe that's the reason why I try to find even the least good things in a bad movie.

But then, there's stuff like The Village, North, The Item...oh boy...
