It could be those must- see movies provide me with quantitative as well as qualtative pleasure.

Hi,

It could be those must- see movies provide me with quantitative as well as qualitative pleasure.

Is the above sentence correct? Grammatically, it's fine. 'Could be' is informal, while 'quantitative/qualitative' are in a somewhat higher register.

The sentence reads slightly oddly, because you are not sure of your own reaction to such movies, but that's a possibility.

Best wishes, Clive
