Do You Go To The Movies

When we go out for a movie, we usually wait until a movie has passed out of the first run theaters and has started playing at the second run theater. On Tuesday nights, movie tickets are .75 cents per person, so it's just $1.50 for both me and my husband. And we actually do take our own drinks in, because we refuse to pay the concessions prices at the theater. I just put the drink bottles in my very large handbag. We don't download movies, because it just takes up too much space and we prefer to watch movies on a screen larger than either of our laptops.

I used to go to movies a lot. Now a days I lost interest. Movie theaters are far away from my current residence. It takes one hour to go there, movie for three hours, and an hour to be back. It takes almost a day. So, I prefer to watch movies at home with my husband.

It will cost $6 - 8 for a person includes transportation and some drinks, but I am more concerned about the time spend. Most of the Indian movies are 2 1/2 - 3 hours.

Actually I am used to watch movies from my laptop at home. It has been more than four years since I have gone to the cinema and now I think I should be going to see the change over there as reading your discussion is making me having the feeling to go once over there.

I have a olletion of horror movies at home and most of the movies are not yet played in cinema so I am lucky to have already seen them at home. I prefer watching movies in my laptop.

hi chriss, i have forgotten when i went to movies for the last time. in college life, i often went for movies. it was so cheap here and was about 10rs or $.20. but now i have less time to watch a movie.people rent a movie from shop and watch it for 10Rs or near about $.17. thanks.

We don't go to the movie theater especially since we had kids we rarely go. I think the last flick anyone in my house saw was Cars a few yrs back. I don't know how much ticket prices run anymore but I think they are $10/person w/o any kind of snack ect.
We usually wait til the movie comes out on video and buy it ourselves, borrow it from a friend, OR borrow from the library.

My Hubby likes watching some of the older movies alot we've never heard of on Hulu & Crackle for free.

I don't go to watch movies at the movie theater. I just borrow or rent the movies from a rental store or Library. I don't like how they overprice things in the theater. I do download movies sometimes too.

OMG I havent been to the movies in YRS! literally LOL..its just too expensive for my tastes..I'd much rather watch movies in the comfort of my own home while putting my feet up and wearing my pjs...

I do not bother going to the movies anymore either, its way too expensive with three children and the cost of snacks is ridiculous. Plus like you we have ways of seeing the latest movies for nothing or very little. We have a decent tv so all we have to do is buy a few snacks and its just as much fun.

The last time I went was actually a few months ago, back in April. Before that it'd been years since I saw a movie in theatres because the cost of going out to a movie as a family usually runs our bill up to $50-$60! And that doesn't even include the cost of food and drink, though one of our local theatres is actually cool with you bringing your own food and drink, so long as it's not a food that'll actually disrupt other movie goers movie watching. We've been able to go a little bit more these past couple of months, if only a two or three family members go at one time, since my sister's boyfriend got a job at the local AMC Theatres and can get up to four free tickets. That saves us a lot of money!!

in our country, philippines, the most expensive cinema cost 100 pesos... but in my place the cinema cost only more or less 50 pesos and sometimes there is doubled with so its really cheap coz you can watch two movies for only 50 pesos..
