I watch movies because I need the stimulation of colored moving images on a screen - plus that, in a movie, they show you only the interesting scenes - they don't show a person traveling by bus for an entire hour, or taking 10 minutes to get dressed, like in real life. And this, no matter how interesting one's real life is.
However, no matter how stimulating movies are, I am not sure that when I watch, I feel good. I think it's just like a drug - watching makes me not feel the craving, and when I stop, the craving begins again.
