I said i am not amused or entertained by it, that i don't watch drama
for entertainment.

Some of the historical dramas of Shakespeare i have found interesting.
Especially some of the more recent examples. Kenneth Brannaughs
examples iirc?

But other than one particular movie, i usually don't find the story of a
movie as interesting as sets, costumes, special effects & etc.

I saw "All about Eve" the other day, Bette Davis & etc. a bit too arch
for my taste but i had no idea Marylin Monroe was in it!

Best part of the movie imo, and rather like Jean Harlow in Dinner at 8
