Should I stay or go?

It’s one of the great questions among film fans and cinema devotees: should I stay and watch a movie's ‘end credits’. Or should I go when the action finishes and the titles roll?

You wouldn’t believe how much time I’ve spent debating this subject with other movie buffs.  Yet, for me, the answer is very simple.

I am one of those who will always stay to the end of the credits, for, what I believe, are very good reasons. If I’ve enjoyed a film, it’s my way of thanking and acknowledging those who have put so much work into creating it. If it’s been awful (and let’s face it, some are), I can find out who is to blame. 

But there’s even more to it than that. I want to know stuff like where was it filmed, the name of the composer (and if I can get the soundtrack album), and who were the actors?

However…

Some of my good friends argue I can find out all of that information online, so why not just simply get up and go? 

This is true. I can. But, as a movie lover...
