We are still living with my in-laws while we get all the traveling out of our system and save for a house of our own, and they have a 'theatre' downstairs. Huge projector screen, surround sound, the works... and the tech box is a tardis - it's pretty epic. Who wouldn't love a tardis full of DVD's?!

Lol, I'm kinda glad that so far no one has chosen the phone option. I have always been baffled by the concept of buying a movie just to watch it on your tiny little phone! But that doesn't baffle me as much as that time Sony decided to make the PSP a device for watching movies... That you had to buy on a cartridge.

I answered my tv because though I go to the theater sometimes, I don't like the sticky floors and dirty chairs and all the other people (though occasionally opening night for a movie can be fun).

I love to watch movies at the theater. Hardly get to go, though. I don't really like watching movies on TV by myself. With others it's pretty fun.

And watching a movie on a computer is not fun at all.

I haven't been to the movies since Watchmen was out.  It's not that I can't afford to go, its that i have no one to go with.  And going by yourself just sucks.  My parents haven't been to the movies since Lion King...

I chose the "movie theater" option, but a close second is watching movies at home with a TV. I love going to theaters, but I try to go when a movie's been out for a while and it won't be too crowded. I also have a nice, newish, clean theater near me, so that's a blessing. I don't like to go alone to movies, either. I'm okay with watching them alone at home, but I'd rather have someone with me so we can add our snarky comments. :)

 While I love the theatre /cinema I chose TV (specifically a DVD of a movie I love or am really interested in seeing rather than random movie showing).  No interruptions, no people talking through bits you wanna see, no people taller than you sitting in front, not being surrounded by tons of cell phone screens! (why have people got their cell phone on and are texting or surfing the web when they have just paid out a ton of cash to watch a movie!??!! :blink: )  plus its really expensive now - those are the things I hate about the theatre. If I do go then I go to a really late showing (10pm/midnight) when there is hardly anyone else around ;)

I voted "On my television" because that's generally true...I don't like going to the theater because there are too many people and they're loud and playing on their cell phones.  If i'm gonna pay that much to see a movie, I want it to be undisturbed. 

But I LOVE the big screen...so my all-time fave way to see a movie is at the drive-in.  Big screen, in my own car with my fave snacks and nobody to bother me.

I usually watch movies on our TV (we have a fairly big screen and surround sound, so it's fun), but on occasion my hubs and I will go on a date to a movie.  But it has to be one that we really, REALLY want to watch for us to fork over the cash.  I think our average of seeing movies in theaters is about 2 a year.

I love the movie theater. Its sooooo close to where we live we usually walk there! I look forward to the popcorn the most- my movie theater has the BEST! Its not over-salted and doesnt taste like generic microwave popcorn-its PERFECT and i always drown in in the butter-flavor oil then toss some Crunch bar bunches into it! I always sit in the back middle of the theater. I LOVE the movies! Never been to an imax theater, but i saw a mpvie in 3D and almost threw up because of how dizzy it made me.

Movies i plan on seeing soon are.....
-Minions
-Avengers2
-Tomorrowland
-Jurassic World

I ocassionally watch movies on my tablet or phone, but only to pass time not so much to enjoy.

I do enjoy going to the theater so see movies sometimes, but I usually prefer to wait and watch them on my own tv. I have a hearing disability so I like to have the subtitles on. I know theaters have certain things you can request if you're hearing impaired, but I'd prefer not to draw that kind of attention to myself in a theater.

It depends on what the movie is.  We usually go see the super hero movies such as Thor, Captain America, Iron Man and Avengers, etc. in the movies first because of the special effects and sound, etc.  Some movies are best seeing in theaters first.  If we're just renting a movie to for something to watch we watch on our television on on demand or redbox or something we recorded on our dvr.

I was kinda disappointed that a drive in was not an option, we have a few in my area.

Television, definitely!

Comfy jammies, way cheaper snacks, cozy cuddling and soft blankets.  Way better experience!
