How would you personally know what the “vast, vast majority” of secular entertainment is unless you experienced yourself. I took issue with Joseph’s comment about it being an aveirah to watch movies. He didn’t qualify it as you have, but your generalization is suspect unless you have been involved in all sorts of secular entertainment to make such a judgment about its appropriateness.
From your comment, you haven’t personally studied the Shulchan Aruch on this matter, correct?
