You can only vote for one? i'd pick the all of the above category.
well maybe not imax... they make me motion sick.

if you can watch it and hear it. then yes to all.
i've been slowly transfering all my library to digital, but it's taking a while because of the cost.
love having my favorite movies at my fingertips. mwhahahahaha

but i also believe in supporting the movies i enjoy, so if i really like it, i'll see it in theaters a few times.

I work at a movietheatre and we have a huuuge discount (I go for free as long as the screen don't get full) so naturally I go there as much as I can and even watch movies I would never consider if I had to pay. I even make hole days out of it and watch three to four movies in one go. It is nice to go with friends and boyfriend but I have no problem with going alone. For some films I kind of prefer it.

Second choice is at home on TV. I am a huge Netflixoholic and can easily take eight hours out of the day and just watch movies or a good series.

I would love to experience an IMAX but the closest one is in the UK. They are building one in Stockholm but it's still too far off and flying there just to watch a movie seems stupid.

I've watched a few movies and documentaries on my tablet and it works but I would never watch on my phone as the screen is too small. I occassionaly watch from my laptop but only if it's hooked to the TV so I get to see on a larger screen. I'm watching US Netflix this way.

I either watch them on the TV when I just want to focus on the film, or on the laptop if I'm after some background noise while working on something else. Cinemas are a major no-go, I just don't like the atmosphere at all; it feels very tense and unpleasant (then again, maybe I've just been to really rubbish cinemas!) XD

I don't really watch movies, but I like to watch TV at home.

IMAX for sure! Me and my friends have a movie card, we can go to the movies as many times as we want in a month at our local theater, and we always choose the IMAX version if we have the choice! It's the best!

I absolutely love going to the movie theater. It's such a nice experience to watch a movie with many people and to be totally absorbed by it. It's just not the same at home. Plus, I just love popcorn ^^"

I chose TV, for that's how I watch movies most often. Especially now that movies are getting longer and longer, I enjoy watching them at home, where I can interrupt them as needed to get food, go to the bathroom etc.

I do enjoy going to the movies, but it's so pricey that I only do it a couple of times a year. I only go if there's a movie on that I'd really love to see and cannot wait till it's out on DVD. Plus, there are some movies that are simply nicer on the big screen ("Avatar" comes to mind).

Technically at the theatre but I haven't been able to go to one in years.

Otherwise I like watching them on tv.  I can pause whenever I need to and I don't have to stress out about the ride home^^

TV good.  I'd rather watch at home. Then when I'm having an ADD moment and have to do something else that pause button is there.

My favorite way is really just "any way that involves me and my best friend getting to sit down and watch a movie together" :P I voted "on my television" because it's great when we get to hang out and watch movies together in person (we live on opposite ends of the country), but honestly we're normally watching movies (or tv shows) together online.

Usually we watch movies at home on the computer - comfier, cheaper, and we can pause for breaks whenever we need (but no commercials). We do go out to the theatre sometimes (or the drive-in).

Theatre is good! If I want to watch a movie, it's nice to be able to go to a place, sit down, and have it all be about THE MOVIE with no distractions!

But TV at home is really nice too. Comfy sofa, snacks at non-ridiculous prices, pyjamas...
Unfortunately the TV here in my flat is old, the sound is half busted, and the screen is permanently pink tinted! So I only watch things on my laptop here. It's good enough, I guess!

I like them on my computer screen in a smaller window - that's easiest on my eyes.

I despise going to movie theaters. Too many people, too loud, and if you have to go to the bathroom you miss part of the movie. That's a big one for me, because I hate public bathrooms sooo much.

When I lived in Alaska, we went to the movies all the time - not really much else to do when its -40F outside but here, not so much. Although there is a seasonal Drive in theater. I like to go there as its 2 movies for $7 o it was. The probably raised the admissions fee since they went digital or whatever it was they did.

Otherwise, I want netflix on my laptop
