Nah, I inherited my dad’s DVD collection. My boys can enjoy all the old movies in our family room, we’ll swing by the Dollar Tree and pick up some candy, I will microwave a little popcorn and they can watch Patton. They don’t need to waste time making out In the back of a theater when Patton is on anyway.
I agree. It's not about just seeing the movie. Seeing a film in a theater was often one of the first public events a child attended. You had to learn to dress appropriately and behave with enough manners not to disturb the other patrons.
sure, movie night at home with the fam is great, but there are no strangers there and the kids can pretty much do what they want. That's very different.
And the shared experience of seeing and talking about a huge worldwide hit movie was really, really fun. Nothing like seeing The Empire Strikes Back premiere in a giant theater packed with nothing but other fans.

The communal part of it though is almost gone.
They can invite their friends over

Just can't do that at home.
