Hey, Shel, there is a film which is casted by Orlando Bloom coming out this week, do you want to catch it this weekend,i think it definitely is a must-see !
and is there other words that have the prefix MUST - apart from must-have ??This is an informal (colloquial) expression. In such informal contexts, you can combine "must" in this way with any verb where the meaning would be understood. The OED (Oxford English Dictionary) says the construction is primarily used in the US. The only example they give is to call a particular book "a must-read".
and must-see and must-have , are they both countable nouns ?Yes, nouns formed this way are countable. (There are three must-sees in the theaters this week.)
