Would you rather go to the movies or rent a movie?

Well, nowadays everyone has their own "home theatre" system, so it is much more convenient to watch a movie at home where you can pause it, go to the bathroom, get a snack, whatever. Going to the theatre is an experience that can't be beaten, but with the prices they charge and their uncomfortable seats, I rarely go any more. Also, I find it really gross that the floors feel greasy like they are slathered with butter. (Anyone else notice that?)

watching movie is not a good idea for us for we are five members of our family and that would be so expensive for our budget. yes, i can not remember anymore when was the last time i watched movie. but my children together with my sisters they had watched movies and i think the last one was twilight. if i like something i just wait for my other sister to send a dvd copy. its okay i can wait for that. i dont go to rentals for some of the dvd or vcd they have hasa lot of scratches already and it is difficult to watch.

going to the theater has always been a preference for me. but now that prioces has gone up, mostly, i wait for my friends' evaluation of the movie. if ever if it's worth watching it or not. if ever i like the movie, that's the time i buy the dvd (pirated or not - LOL) so that i could watch at the convenience of our home. =) but then, there's this site in the internet which are free to be viewed so sometimes i go here first than in theaters. =)

Hi the dutchess, I like to watch movies in the comfort of my home, but there are some special movies that i really prefer to watch them in the theaters, Have a good day!

we used to rent a dvd or a vcd than watching in the big screen. or im buying the pirated one.. hahahaaha

there is no renting business of DVD when the film is running on theatres... mostly in my country we dont watch films on DVD...we would go to theater to see the film...with surround digital sound, 70mm screen, with lot of people surrounded us , clappong and whistling...this habit is very much in theaters..people found loving it...usually DVD business is strictly prohibited, the producers are taking the movie for a huge amount and the theater owners are getting for a huge amount, so no DVD work...we have to watch only in theater... happy mylotting...

I always prefer seeing movies in the theater, but I do rent DVDs as well. There is nothing better than seeing the movie on the big screen...there is so much more detail, particularly if it is a movie set in a foreign country. If I have a choice, I will go to the movies instead of renting. And the movie theater I belong to has a discount card, which I put to good use. Also friends know me so well that often I get movie tickets (for use anytime) on my birthday or as Christmas gifts. Still, I do watch DVDs at home, and I appreciate having that option because a lot of Indies never make it to my town. Now that I don't live in Chicago anymore, I miss a lot of the international and Indie films I used to see in the theater. Seeing them on DVD is my only choice. I guess you can say, I just love movies in any form!

I would prefer renting movies to watch at home since they are cheaper. Otherwise I'd participate in lucky draws that give out free movie preview vouchers by sending an sms. So far I've successfully won twice in the draw. I guess in this bleak economic downturn, it is ok to forgo the bigger screen, aircon and captivating surround sound. There's a good side of watching movies at home is that I can fully enjoy my privacy.

I prefer going to the movies but I don't get to do it that often, mainly because it can be expensive and I don't have anyone to go with me, my husband won't go, he'd rather stay home and watch movies. The only time I go is if one of our nephews is visiting and as a treat I'll take him to the movies, most of the time we just rent them. I have a big screen at home and surround sound too, but theres nothing like that movie popcorn...haha.

I love going to the movies as it always feels like a bit of a treat. And I do prefer to watch a movie in the cinema for certain genres i.e thrillers and horrors, or movies that are forecast to be big hits. However, going to the cinema can prove to be an expensive hobby if its something which is done on a regular basis, so I usually do rent a movie and watch it at home, or try and catch it on TV. Watching films at home is also nice in it's own way though as it is cosy, and you can take take breaks, grab food etc at your own convenience

I used to love going to the movies. I like deciding what to see, getting together with friends, buying some popcorn, watching the movie and then discussing with others who had seen it. Nowadays, though, it's just so expensive. the tickets are high, the concessions are high...and it's really bad if you are paying for another person or poeple. So I usually just stay at home and atch movies on pay-per-view.

Well Dutchess, I do love going to the movies, but I don't do it much anymore because of the cost! I also think its a little silly to see a movie that is going to be on DVD in a few weeks. Things just come out so quickly these days. I do go to the movies for certain things, thoug. I like to go every few months with my young daughter to see a Disney Pixar film. They are really entertaining on the big screen. I also can only see the Harry Potter movies big screen.

I prefer to rent a movie cause,is much more convenient for me to do that and watch it at later hours ...rather than drive to a theater traffic jampeople.

Honestly to say, i just rent movies and watch them at home more often, renting movie seems cheaper. but some movies seems more enjoyable when they are watched in the theater, so sometimes i would go the theater with my friends when we feel watching this type movie in the theater would give us more fun.By the way, the black cat icon behind your name seems so lovely.

Of course I like to go to halls. But nowadays in India, it is costly and full of danger. Any moment there may be a terrorist attack. So, I like to bring DVDs athome and enjoy in homely environment.

me and wife always watch movie, then when we like the movie we buy dvd so we can watch it over and over again. but now that we have a three year old child there is no way that we can watch movie. but it is okay we will have to wait for the release on dvd then we can watch it. i dont want to rent for there are no rentals near at our place

i haven't gone to the movies for ages. the last time was harry potter prisoner af azkaban so that was a long time ago and my bestfriend said that we should go when harry potter's latest would be shown. wow from harry potter to harry potter lol and we're 30+ years old. but i rather watch at home because when i really like a movie, i watch it over and over again or sometimes i just want to watch the old same scenes.

i prefer to watch movie in the movie house...even more when im with my friends..i appreciate the movie when im watching it in a big screen..lol!..^^

I do like to go to the movies as often as I can, because it seems like I'm so impatient waiting for the movie (that I liked) to come out on dvd. There are some movie theaters prices dropping around where I live (such as $6.50). I just can't get comfortable in a theater seat. On the other hand, I love to watch dvd's at home, that way I can get my own drinks, snacks, and paused the movie while I use the restroom.

I occasionally like going to the theater, but being that they are so expensive, I tend to prefer hitting the matinée when I do go, otherwise I prefer sitting at home on my comfy couch, curled up with a blanket and a hot cup of coffee. Plus at home there are no sticky floors, no screaming kids, talking teenagers, or the guy with the big head sitting in front of me. LOL!
