haraldur, I won't "answer" because I would be the blind who attempts to lead the blind. I will say the gusto should probably be "me gusta". Let's wait and see what the experts say. - patc, Mar 17, 2012
The English "the movie which I like is very good" - should have a comma before the "which" otherwise use "that" - ian-hill, Mar 17, 2012
With the comma the clause is a non-defining clause - with "that" and no comma it is a defining clause. - ian-hill, Mar 17, 2012
You need a defining clause here - ian-hill, Mar 17, 2012

  • ¡La película que me gusta es muy buena!

  • ¡La película que me gustó es muy buena!

  • The only objection that I have about this sentence, is that "Of course the movie you like is good!" Otherwise you would not like it! I don't know, it just sounds odd to me!

Sorry to take this long to answer Mariana, but I have not sign on since last Summer!, The way you are saying, is redundant and actually, does not make sense! - farallon7, Dec 10, 2012

Yes, that's quite right.

La película que me gusta es muy buena.
