>What counts as a good film for me? Story must be intriguing and get you hooked. Acting must be good, believable and unique.

I agree but another problem I have with a lot of tv shows and movies is over-dramatization by some actors, that too can make an entire movie or series unbelievable. For the story to be believable it has to have actors who can play the scenes as if it was happening to them in real life. What made movies like "The Shining" a gem to watch is not exactly the story itself, it was the great actors who made it actually believable when in all reality something that far-fetched would never really happen. The actors' talent made unrealistic possibilities seem very surreal. I could say the same for movies like "The Bad Seed" or the tv series "The X-Files".
