ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Cinephilia

Cinephilia is when someone really loves watching movies. Being a cinephile means that you really enjoy watching films and looking for new favorite films or filmmakers. It’s like being a super fan of movies and you get excited when you find something new to watch. Cinephiles often watch the same movie multiple times, like their favorite classic films, searching for little details or nuances that they didn’t catch before. They also talk about movies a lot, share what they’ve seen with others, and go to the theater more often than most people.
