Movie watching as a hobby rather than just a pastime largely consists of trying to stay up to date with films as they release in theaters. Many theaters offer rewards or days with discounted ticket days that make it more affordable to go regularly and stay up to date. Another good way to start is by watching more specific lists such as Oscar nominations or even specific actors.
My connection to the hobby goes back to when I was very little but I began to take it more seriously in high school. I began to watch older movies and go to releases of new films that caught my interest as well as watching the Oscars. When I went to Wheaton for my Freshmen year I began to take it more seriously and went to release weekends of upcoming films that were outside of my comfort zone. This pursuit of films that I wasn't necessarily clamoring to see but was curious to see how the film was brought me to my current state.
