@MarnieRez3 Yes, I do read the credits. The old movies usually had the credits at the beginning of the movie. But I am like you, and if I see a current movie in the theater, I stay until the end and am usually one of the last to leave. I am fascinated that more modern movies list "caterer" "accountant", etc. positions that have no creative input whatsoever but everyone wants their 5 seconds of fame!!!

@MarnieRez3 and @kaydee50
I do, and I always used to stay to the end of the credits, too, back when I went to movies. Now, I watch them mostly on tv or DVD and I also make sure no animals were harmed.
I find it annoying when watching credits on a movie that was just shown on tv when all of a sudden the credits shrink so the channel can show what's coming up next. Starz is the worst.
I could have written your whole post, @MarnieRez3

Oh, yeah, agreed, @MarnieRez3, the credits are an integral part of the film! As you've observed, you start to see many of the same names over and over, and get a feel for the style of the different craftsmen that work on a film.
I also get caught up on the "font" of the credits and titles-- some of them are art deco, midcentury modern, or in some interesting way representative of their era, or of the genre of the film...

I usually google it. On Sat nights I sometimes watch Svengoolie on ME TV channel. He's a really goofy character and his show plays old horror films. He always goes thru the actors in the movies and their past/present accomplishments. Amazing to see a young Clint Eastwood playing a lab assistant in "Revenge of the Creature" or a very young Steve McQueen in The Blob.

Another credit reader here! Sometimes I like lingering after a movie just to stay in the mood too.

Yes, I do.
