No. I'd rather watch it at home.

Don't know how old you are.....

In my neck of the woods the price for customers who are 55+ is only $5 at all the major movie theaters.

Only $1 at the smaller theaters.

DH & I have not been to a theatre in at least 5 years. Last time, we vowed we would not set foot in one ever again. High ticket prices & exorbitant prices at concession stands along with noisey people, phones ringing, sound either too high or too low, sticky floors, did I mention rude people all around you? Whatever is in the theatre can be seen on DVD for free eventually, or on TV. We don't need to see anything right when it comes out. Now if we were talking about a new book that just came out, that would totally be a different story.

NO! Don't like sitting in a crowd of people that talk, eat food loudly, and kick the back of my seat. I also don't like sitting in those chairs that God knows who sat in them. And it smells.

Movie theaters usually only hold one enticing thing for me and that is their sound system!

@LTT1,

Theater sound systems rock! So I went and bought a complete home theater system to go with my 65 inch 4k tv! The subwoofer shakes the hood..LOL!

The sound is way too loud.........afterwards, I can't hear for 3 days

Will be 55 on Christmas Eve so I have not quite got there yet. I do remember back in Jr. High just needing a $1.25 to go on Friday nights when we all started seeing movies WITHOUT our parents. Oh the days!!

The last time I checked it was about $8.00 for approx. 90 minutes of entertainment. I am cheaper than dirt.

No, generally I hate it. I've never liked going to the movies. Overpriced tickets, overpriced concession stand, peeking between people's heads to see, trying to ignore brats yelling, running around or kicking the back of my seat, and adults who won't shut up. Then there's the sticky floor.

The only movie theaters I'll go to now are the plush ones with special seats, food served, etc. They cost enough that you get at least a decent experience.

@Moonchilde ....

Agree with everything in your post! The last time I went was to a special showing of The Help ... with the plush seats, wine beforehand and dinner served during the movie. It was an excellent adventure.
