PREFER: go to movies, rent, or buy DVD?

Just like you, it depends on the situation. There are times when I prefer to go to the movies to watch certain films. I love going to the movies with my girlfriend as we share common interests when it comes to the kind of movies we watch. When the film is something we are looking forward to, we often watch during the first few days of its showing. However, there are times when some films are not shown in the movies. In this case, we do rent copies of the films we wish to watch. When I really love the movie, I end up buying a DVD copy for me to keep and watch over and over once in a while.

I prefer buy or rent Dvd. Because I like watching movie's in my home relax and also have something to eat some chips, some sweat, ice cream,chocolate something to dring and have some friends and my husband with me. Of course some times we are going to cinema . But I prefer rent or buy Dvd and watch it at home .

I like to rent movies myself or borrow then from my friends.

First- It's much easier to scrounge up $3.00 for a rental than $20.00 for the theater. The video store is within walking distance(about 5-10 minutes) but the closest theater is 30 miles away, so I would need gas money as well as ticket money. Second- If I went to the theater, I'd need to go somewhere for dinner, so that's another thing to plan for. Third- I can't sit still and pay attention for very long so I'd rather be at home so I could pause it if I needed to. It has to be a movie I REALLY want to see, or I'd prefer to wait for video. I like to rent first, then if it's a movie I will want to watch a lot, I buy it. Lastly, I like the privacy of my home- no obnoxious people talking during the movie(unless it's me), no crying kids, no lines, no crowds, no rushing to not only get out of the theater but get out of the parking lot.

When my boyfriend wants to go see a movie, I drop him off and go to the mall!! It works for me because he usually takes the kids with him. That's my idea of an awesome afternoon!

I like the experience of going to a movie in a theater, and seeing it large and up close. But sometimes I don't feel like going out, or I just can't afford it. So I would then prefer renting the movie. I don't normally buy a DVD unless I know it is one I'll watch over and over.

Usally I perfer to rent movies because going to the movies can be expensive since the tickets are about $7.00 to 10 dollars which is ridiculous in my opinion. But the only time I go to the movies if it's for a big movie like transformers or chronicles of narnia 2 and the mummy 3. Those types of movies I see in the theators I rarely see comedys since there not worth it and would rather see it on dvd then the big screen.

Since I always watch movies for only one time. I never buy any. I also not a big fan of going to a cinema. I like to watch movie at home so I can control the movie. In cinema, I can't have any break for bathroom or more snack or replay a scene I missed. Only big hit summer movies that I watch in cinema because I don't have a good sound system.

i like going to the movie houses for a good and sensationalized movie...
i also rent movies through netflix.
i only buy dvds if its a tv series.

I like to rent - I can watch it and then send it back, If I really like it enough then I'll buy it.
I go through netflix.. it's great.

It depends as you said. Some movies are having very good sceneries and good sound quality. In this case as i am not having good sound system i prefer going to watch in theater. Most of the time i will take rented dvd. If i feel it is too good then i will buy.
