New movies I like to see at the local Drive In. otherwise I wait until they come out on NetFlix.

I used to buy movies on DVD when I had a job away from home and it didn't make sense to have cable. I have seen Lord of the Rings so many times! LOL. Now the DVD's go unused.

Kodi via my NASbox.

Copied all my DVDs and BluRay to SAN storage, so everything is self-contained.

I have a smart-tv with only a 40 inch 1080p screen resolution. Not too fussed about 4K or Ultra HD until they become established.

I don't really care about the format or state-of-the-art technology; HD, mammoth TV screens, etc. In fact, I wish they'd back off a bit on that. I don't need to see every pore on a person's face.

I like to go to a theater once in a while just because it feels... nostalgic. And, of course, some movies should be seen there. I watched The Revenant at home and wished I'd seen it in a theater.

?! Do you spread out a checkered tablecloth, too?

Seriously, how do you manage that? Sounds messy.

I also don't mind catching a movie at the local drive-in. Unfortunately, they rarely play movies I actually enjoy so thats why I don't go too often

You don't have to spend the kind of money I did for my home theater sound system. You can get very good quality all under $1,000. Especially if you know what to buy. You can find some used home theater speakers on sale on craigslist for a few hundred dollars but if purchased new, it would be in the thousands. I see amazing deals all the time on craigslist when it comes to home theater.

Bluray then DVD, we have many movies on both medias. Bluray looks best on our big screen though.

We don't go to the theater much any more, but if there is a movie that in my opinion warrants a big screen viewing, I'll do it. Otherwise, we Redbox or Netflix most movies.
