I used to watch movies more, but I find both renting and going to them has

I use Netflix and love it! For a small fee, you can watch as many movies each month as you want. There is no set amount of time you are allowed to keep a movie, there are no late fees. You order the movie online, it shows up in your mailbox, you watch it, put it back in your mailbox, and the next one on your list shows up in your mailbox. It is VERY fast shipping too. I mail one movie back and the next one is in my mailbox within three days total. You can opt to get them one at a time, or 2-3 at a time so you don't have to wait.

well we do rent movies once in awhile but not that often...what we do is go to the library (sure they may not have all the up to date movies, but you can still generally get a good variety and one that you havent seen!)

In India too watching movie with your family makes the whole budget of the house go haywire. We have seen rise in prices amounting to almost 400% in last few years. A movie Sunday means 1000 Rs gone straight away from the pocket. I usually rent a movie and watch it on dvd then going to the theater as Indian movies have lots of songs so I usually skip those at home and just see the movie without songs.

Well I have turned to Netflix to help me out. Now that I have it, there are SOME movies that I don't worry about seeing in theaters, i'll wait for them to come to Netflix (there are still some movies I see in theaters-dont wanna wait ;p) But Netflix has a lot of different packages to choose from, to fit your price range. They are actually pretty good deals with the amount of movies you get! I am currently getting 3 movies at a time (unlimited number a month) for $16.99. With this package I also have UNLIMITED time to watch their available movies on my computer But they have deals ranging from 8 at a time (unlimited) for $47.99 (i dont need that many!) to 1 at a time (2 a month limit) for $4.99. But I don't like that one! I might change my plan back to 2 movies at a time (unlimited) for $13.99 when I move =P But there are nine different plans to choose from!

We don't go to movies when they first come out, we wait until they go to the discount movie theater down the street from the other theater..I believe it is 2.00 per person..

Going to movie theaters is outragously expensive, especially for a family to do together. I don't like buying videos or DVD's because what do you do with it when you have watched it several times? We do the NetFlick thing for $4.99 a month and it works out to about 2 movies a week if we watch it and mail it out right away. This is the best way to go. What else we do it many of us have formed a circle that share our movies. We "trade" them to each other for another movie or DVD, and then when we all have had a chance to see what we want we donate them to the library to use. It has helped build up the movie section at the library and saved the library money so it can buy some of the newer movies that come out on video or DVD.

i love watch movies too.. i watch them on cables, on sunday nights at a local channel, i rent and my brother sometimes lend me some of his movies. he's got quite a lot of them too. :)

There's really no good deal when it comes to movies. I wait until a new movie gets played out on the movie channels to go to the movie channels that are free. Plus I work online at a site that gives me 6 movie rentals for 6 months. So I get to look forward to a movie each month. Plus if the premium channels are giving a free weekend, that's a huge bonus. I just fix my dvr to record most of them so I can watch later.

We hardly go to movies, unless it is a very good one and usually when it is someone's birthday. I can now get in on seniors, and most of the time, it is the movies my husband likes, the kind where the hero and or heroine are escaping flames coming from either an exploding building or a car, big major type of bad guys intent on destroying democracy or rule the universe or stuff like that. We do get the movie channels and some of the movies are repeats, especially what the country considers the best winners or shows their ideology. I do like women in danger, but even then these get quite boring. When we really like a movie, we will buy it on Dvd either hi definition or regular (have to wait until Christmas for the blu=-ray paper or Playstation 3) I do not like renting movies since we already get the movie stations, and it does seem a waste if the movie is a bomb. But if the movie is good, I would buy it. I am trying to get all my old favorites on dvd. I would like to get one with all the Alfred Hitchcock Movies.

It cost 10 dollars to see a movie in the city. I haven't been to the movie theatre since the devil wears prada was released. I now want to watch how I spend my money and rent movies from the library.

I think renting is the best deal. The theater is expensive, close to $10 now, though I'm not totally sure since I haven't been to the theater in years. Premium movie channels from cable are expensive, and I don't have time to watch many movies lately. You pay the same price whether you watch all or none, and since I'd watch few if any, not a good deal for me. I'm not sure how much they are, but I think the prices start around $10 a month, and go up from there. You can't choose what movies are on when, so you never know if something you like will be on when you have the time to watch. When you rent, you can choose what movie to watch, and when to watch it. You can pause if you are interrupted. You can rewind if you missed something, or if you want to see it again because it was so hilarious. They are about $3 for one day for a new release, and $1 for an older movie. There are also rent one get one free deals sometimes. New movies come out on DVD so quick now that you don't have to wait very long to see a new movie. Though I rarely have the time to watch a movie, when I do, renting is the best way for me.

we get the movies bundle on our satillite. It's $20 extra a month but thats pretty much our entertainment. We have 4 kids 5 and under so we don't really get out too much. Occasionally we will rent a new release movie which here in canada costs $5 but during the week its 2 for 1, so that makes it better.

My husband and I love to watch movies, but, like you said, it is getting to be very expensive. The last time we went to the theater, it cost us almost $50 by the time we got the tickets and a drink, small popcorn, and snack each. Ridiculous! Now what we do is wait for them to come out on dvd at Wal-Mart. About a month or so after they're released, they're about $10, so we just buy them then and can watch them whenever we want. We also browse the $5 bin quite often. It's a lot cheaper to go to Wal-Mart, but a dvd and some snacks and go home and relax to watch a movie.

i must have to agree with the fact going out to a theatre is expensive,i currently am a mature student who enjoyed nights out at the cinema quite regulary,they charge regardless of a persons status and even more expensive for refreshments,here in england the local cinema charges £6 for adults and f4.50 for children, personally with having sky i would rather pay the extra for movie subscription to have the benefit of numerous movies for the month.

I watch movies less the older I get. I fall asleep right in the middle of a good movie or right at the end. We have cable and what is offered is "Charter on Demand" so that's our main source of movies at home. It's not cheap for the cable package but we both think it's worth it. I haven't been to a movie in years so I have no clue what the prices for admission are now.

I have digital cable and I have many movie channels so I can and usual do see at least one movie a night.It is so worth it.These days are very few new films I want to see in the theater.I don't rent films because between HBO, Showtime,Encore I will get to see the "new films" when they air.The last time I saw a film in the theater it was 7.50.There is a system called Red Box where you can rent a DVD for 1.00 a night. And It all depends on what tier of cable how much it costs.

I don't go out to movies much anymore, gas is too high for one thing, plus the cost of a ticket. But there are certain films I really do want to see on a big screen, like today I'm thinking of going to see "10,000 BC," that's definitely something to see on a large screen with big, loud speakers. I don't have cable or dish, just network. So I visit Blockbuster to rent DVDs sometimes. I also buy DVDs once in awhile, if they really impress me, for whatever reason.

I do like to go to them. This way the sort of movie I would like to see I can't have spoiled by rude people.

My family doesn't go to the cinema because its too much here. Our prices are the same as yours. We do however have the package on Satelite for the movie channels but we dont rent any on the pay per view because it usually ends up sneaking up on you and at the end you owe a ton of money. We usually rent a movie or 2 every weekend though. The store by our house rents movies for 2.49 a movie so I dont find that to bad. My hubby and I are big movie fanatics so we own alot of movies too and will watch them as well :)

i have my own video shop so movie on dvd or vcd format is not a problem, but my problem is the time which i spend every movie...i am very busy all day long so hard to find enough time to watched it...sometimes what i really did is watching movie while i am doing some work online...it's hard to concentrate.
