During my student days, I just have to go to movies at the theatres atleast three times a week. I was a real movie addict I should say. Well, I still like watching movies, but time doesn't permit me to go to the theatres any more. I rarely get to go to the theatres now. How about you ? Were you a movie addict like me ? How often do you go to movies at the theatres now ?

3 movies in a week? HAHA The problem is movies that are worth to go see! We usually wait for movies to come out on DVD if we watch them at all. It is just too expensive at the theaters here to see every new movie that comes down the pike.

I used to go to movies a lot more often that I do now, but prices have gone up, and I have a small child, so it isn't easy to find the time, or the money, to get to the movies. I joined Netflix and wait for movies to come out on DVD. I have gotten to see a lot of the movies I missed, and also some of the tv shows that have come out on DVD. I was/am a movie addict. My favorites are the comedies and action movies.

Probably about once every 3 months or when a cool movie comes out for the kids. My husband does not liek to go. Says he can save money and just rent it for 4 bucks. So I will take the kids because I like going, but I also like kids movies.

I rarely go to the movies. I've always kind of been that way. I don't really see any movies that come out that appeal to me at all. Usually, there are a lot of movies that come on tv that I'll try to catch. We used to live near a drive in movie theater, and it was always packed. It was pretty unique. I enjoyed going there.

I like to go to the movies when something really interesting comes out or if I just need to get out of the house. I personally don't like going to the theaters because its so expensive. I usually wait till the movie comes out on DVD.

DVD's are the more popular way of enjoying movies these days, yes. One can also make a collection of the favorite movies.

I really like watching movies but I don't go to movie theatres as offen as I would like. It is because my friend and also my family don't like going to movie theatres. And going alone isn't funny. So I usualy watch movies in home with family/friends or sometimes I torment them so long that they agree to go to movie theatre.

Looking back it seems I had less time for movies when I was younger. Between practicing and studying I had lest time but I did go to most of the films I wanted to see. And if there was a film I had missed, I saw it on either Showtime or HBO. But these days I could go more often but there are fewer films I want to see. This year I saw the new Batman film and I am planning on see the De Niro-Pacino film when it comes out.That wil be two in the same year, something I haven't sone in a long time.

Hi there greenline! I do not go to movies when I was younger. I was not that comfortable in movie houses. But for the past few years, going to the movies is one of the things that I really enjoy. Perhaps because it is one thing that my boyfriend and I really enjoy doing. We do not go that often though. We only go when there is a film we would like to watch and can't wait for the DVD.

I rarely go see movies; I usually wait until they hit dvd. I'm not really much of a movie theatre person; I like the movies, but I dislike the fact that many people seem to not know how to behave in the theatre. Also, the ticket prices are exhorbitant; it is far cheaper just to Netflix the movies.

It is very intresting and enjoyable to to to movies at the theatres, right now i will go to the threaters atleast once in a week, and i always try to watch all movies whether they are good or bad!! i would always try to observe the theme of the movies because every movie try to give some message that will help to improve better in life or atmost they try to entertain us.

I've always been a movie buff and I try to watch a movie at the theater at least once or twice a week. Sometimes I even go on a movie marathon--literally jumping from one cinema to another. Haha! It's funny because I'd also see fellow movie buffs doing the same thing especially when there are good movies showing at the same time.

Hi greenline, how are you? Yes I am a movie addict. I love to watch movies specially the old ones LOL. Now I go to the theatres rarely because I prefer DVDs. It is more easy because you can watch in the time that you want or stop it if you need to do something. Years a go I used to go to movies at theatres at least once a week but now as you time doesn't permit it. But I still watching movies all the time LOL. Cheers my dear friend and have a beautiful day.
