Doesn't it make you appreciate movies in another way though?

Knowing how it's done and how difficult it is, don't you start looking at things such as lightning, cut techniques etc. in a more informed manner?

It's not usually the same movies (or music, or games) that gets popular with the professionals in the industry is popular with regular folks, for this very reason.

Yep. I think that applies to most things in life. It's like a separate category of emotion opens up of appreciation instead of things being pure enjoyment/entertainment after you know the work that goes into something.
