Re: Movie Theaters vs. Home Theaters

I grew up going to the older theaters, that had just the one room and one screen, and just one movie playing. You could go in, anytime of the day, and stay long enough to watch the movie two or three times, if you wanted to. Now they won't let you in, if you're five minutes late, and they run everyone out between movies.
It sounds like you're very close to my generation. Don't forget the balcony seats and it was strange to walk into a movie half way through and then stay to watch the beginning.
