What actually gets you out of the house and to the theater to see a movie?

I don't go see movies every week, but I do go see movies fairly often. Maybe about once a month, skipping over some months and going twice in others. There are two things that get me out of the house to see a movie in theaters. One, I really (for whatever reason) want to see it. Two, my friends are with me and they (for whatever reason) want to see it. I usually want to see a movie in theaters because I've read the book the movie is based on, or seen and liked the trailer for it, or I like the studio that produces it. I don't go see movies for actors or directors. EVER. Two movies I will definitely be seeing in theaters this year (and most likely on opening day) are Eclipse and The Last Airbender. I really want to see these movies!

In most cases, it was my bf who asks me out to see the movies in theaters. I like movies with good effects. I enjoy watching the in 3D or IMAX. But in most cases, the movies that I watch in the theaters are action movies, animation, sci-fi and suspense/thriller films.

This year I have seen 3, count them 3! , films in the theater. Why? Two of them had actors nominated for Oscars and I Hac to see them. I say them back to back! I was lucky, I was given a movie card for Christmas last yearor so. So my ticket was paid for . All I needecwas busfare. The theater isn't too far from home . But with the last one, It was a very far trip . But it is my favorite theater. I saw the last one Purely for pleasure. I loved the trailer and I had the last of the movie card , so I went . It was great. ps. The two movies I saw back to back were Crazy Heart and A Single Man. The last was The Losers.

I mostly watch movies which i download from internet. Most of the time movie prints are not good and some scenes are cut. So when i see that there is a movie i would like to watch as soon as i can with the best print sound quality and with popcorn :D. i just go over to the theatre.

Like you I rarely go to the cinema, for a variety of reasons including expense and that where I live no longer has one. But the thing which will make me go to the cinema is the combination of a good storyline with a movie obviously designed to impress on the big screen. For example "Avatar", love it or loathe it, is a movie which works best on the big screen. Yet something like "Precious" is just as good on the small screen. So it has to be a movie which will work best on the big screen but has a storyline to back things up because I can't bare to watch a movie which is all glitz, glam and special effects yet devoid of a story which engages you mentally.

We always have to look out for the nice and good movies then that's the time we have to go out and watch a movie in the theater. Most of the time, there arent any interesting movies in the theaters so we just stay at home and watch a movie. We also need not to go to the movies if the movie is not worth watching in the theater.

Hi megamatt, Movies like Titanic, the sound, photography, glamour, we should watch only in theater then we will have satisfaction of watching a movie. In DVD or in TV you will not get that effects. So i like to watch such movies in theater only.

Dragging me out of the house, to pay for the movie and outrageous pricey snacks, requires skills from my husband and kids. I'm totally against it, because Hollywood just makes the same movies over and over. Some movies are so bad, you can guess who the killer is within the first 15 minutes or literally predict the entire movie, including the ending. I usually prefer spending $1 at the Redbox, because atleast if the movies a dud, then it's no big deal.

good movies should be watch at movie theater or big screens :) not so good maybe on dvd or bluray...
