I can't tell you the last movie I saw in a theater. And actually from what I hear most are not worth the price lately. So now if I ever get the urge I ask people what they thoguht of a movie before I might consider dropping that dough on it.
Do you go to the movies alot? Or have you cut back?

I go to the dollar theater, sure the floor is a bit stickier and people don't obey all the rules but a crappy movie is still only $1.25, it sucks worse when you pay $9.00 bucks for it.

i dont go at all to the movies now since the prices just to go to one have gotten so ridiculous i think someone told me that it cost 10.00 just to get into one at our cinema center near where i live and that is atrocious to me why would you pay that much i mean that about half the cost of a dvd when the movie comes out or you can buy the movie on ppv for 5.00 so why would you waste the money i would rather watch at home the popcorn is cheaper and i never really cared for the big crowds when the movies let out.

I believe the last movie I saw at the theater was Ghost Rider and you know that has been a while. Then why waste a lot of money going to the theater when they have cable on demand? With cable on demand new releases come out all the time ; you can either rent the new releases or get the older ones for free. So that's what I do.

I never went to the movies a lot before. I think the prices of movie tickets are outrageous and I think the prices for food and drinks at theatres are also way too high. I don't like spending all of that money to spend two hours of my time at the movies when I probably won't like the movie. I'd rather try to watch the movie online for free or something. At least then I'm not wasting my money on a movie that probably isn't too great.

Hi, taface412! I have cut back. I used to go about 10 years ago... I have not been to the movies in a very long time. I think that last time was in 1999 or 2000. I would like to go. But, I don't like spending so much money trying to catch all of the good movies when they come to the theatres. I will just wait for it to come on T.V. or I will just get it on DVD. I used to go to the movies a lot, but I no longer go.

I do not go to the movies much anymore. I probably have been to two in the last year. It just costs too much. Our local library has movie night once a month and you can go there and watch a recent movie free! Since our local video store went out of business I have not even rented a movie lately. I see our local WalMart has put in a machine that you can rent movies for .99. I may try that sometime. Best wishes!

Yes. I very seldom visit the movie theater. It is quite expensive. And there are lots of pirated DVDs out there that wouldn't gonna cost me as that with going to a movie theater. hehe. Just being practical. But sometimes I still go watch a movie in a theater. But that's if the movie is really a good one.

I watch movies in theaters a lot like two years ago hahaha. I don't have anyone to accompany me to a movie theater since my sister flew out of the country, I never went to any anymore. And there are very few movies nowadays that are great to see, so, I just watch movies online lol... plus tickets are getting expensive in theaters so I opted to watch new releases online instead of going there. =P

I rarely go due to the cost now a days to spend on tickets and snacks and drinks. Last movie I went to see was Getting Smart just a few months ago. If I can't see it at the movies I watch it sometimes online and other times I wait for the movie to get to dvd so i can rent it. Also there are a lot of stupid or horrible movies coming out now a days and that is another reason i don't go to theaters.

I used to go to the movies all the time, then I realized how much money I was blowing on them! Yeeks! So, then I started going to the drive in and they had all the same movies but you got a double feature. But, that was so far away I didn't end up making it home until really late. The town I used to live in had free drive in during the summer but it was too hot last summer for me to bring a baby out in the heat. I don't even rent movies anymore because I always ended up driving up late fines on them I couldn't repay. Now I just go and pick out a couple of 5 dollar movies at Walmart once a month because then I can watch them over and over again and it ends up being cheaper in the long run. Haha.

The last movie I saw in a theater is Transformers.I can tell you that I feel a little disappointment,and I think it is not worth of the price I paid.This happened last year,so I haven't gone to the movies for a long time.At presents,I often see films with my computer or TV set.Although my computer is not suitable to show the movie,I'm not willing to pay so much money for a film.

Well I am just the opposite. I watch a movie in the theatre every week, Irrespective of how the movie is. Most of the money which I get from giving tutions, are spent in the process and at the end of the month, I have little and no money left. Bad habbit na??? Suggest me a solution!!
