Can't decide what Movie to watch

Seems there are a lot of choices to just pick one on theaters currently and I really don't wish to go and spend money on every single one if I know it won't be worthy of seeing it in a theater and just wait for it to come out on Netflix instead. So the choices I have to see one at all are Skyfall, Lincoln, The Hobbit, Django Unchained. Which of these would you pick to enjoy ata theater unless you would want any to come out in DVD/Blu Ray instead? I sure would love to be helped on making a good choice here if you can help.

    You should check the movie thread in D&D. They'll be able to really weigh in. Do you really only have the money to see one of those before they come out on Netflix/DVD/Blu-Ray? I'd say that all of those except Lincoln are definite big screen watches. Do you not have cheap/second run theaters where you are?

    Theres the Texas Theater in walking distance but it mostly will show movies of yesteryear and recent releases just stay about a month before they show something else. One in another town which costs 1 dollar per admission but the movies there are shown about the same ammount of time when the DVD/Blu Ray comes out either way

    Between Skyfall and Lincoln, I would want to see Lincoln again. I haven't seen The Hobbit or Django Unchained yet.

    I'm not recommending that you break any local laws that may or may not exist, however some people might go early in the morning to catch one movie, say skyfall, and stay for another, maybe the hobbit, or lincoln if you don't want to stay that long.

    The hobbit is fantastic, but I can't compare to the other ones since I haven't seen them yet. I've heard great things about Lincoln, mostly good things about skyfall, nothing about Django Unchained yet (although I plan on seeing it).

    Skyfall is a really good bond film. Feels a bit like Bourne Identitiy as its Bond before the zany gadgets. Lots of solid action, but if you have a blu-ray and a decent sound system it would be fine at home.

    The Hobbit was really well done and is probably the visual feast of the movies you listed. It probably would be the one to benefit the most from a big screen presentation. Bonus points if you go with friends and can get a mostly empty theater (some people wont shut up during this presentation).

    Django unchained I haven't gotten around to seeing yet, but I get a definate Kill Bill feel from it. I'd expect a lot of dialogue but also a lot of color. I could see it being a good film to see in theaters as well. But could be just as good on Blu-ray

    Sadly no opinion about Lincoln but with all the talk I hear about it I might just have to give it a look down the line.
