I usually try and avoid movie theaters for a variety of reasons. One is the expense; it was $9 for one ticket when I saw "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," $8 when I saw the last "Star Wars." If I waited, I could rent it for $5 and then more than one person could watch without making it more expensive.
Another is people; I don't know why people think that movie theaters are a good place to carry on conversations, and I don't know why some people feel the need to explain the whole movie to the person next to them (this group, inevitably, it always seated within three rows of me). Then there are people who decide that it's fun to yell at the screen, or to everyone in the theater. And I'm paying for this?
That said, I'm with Lerins that there are some movies for which the theater experience is worth it. "Lord of the Rings" is one example. For me, "Star Wars" was another (I saw all of the prequels on their opening nights, the 12:01am shows). Sometimes I'm also just impatient and don't want to wait, hence my going out to the theater for this one (well, it's one of the reasons). It'll be the same reason I go out to the movie theater to see "Corpse Bride" when it comes out.
