I love going to see movies, but a good movie is only as good as the theatre its being shown in. I'm lucky enough to have a drive-in theatre in my town, which, if you haven't ever been to one, is fucking awesome. The screen is huge, and you can just kinda lay on the hood of your car and enjoy the movie. So, PA'ers, tell me about where you go and see movies.
I usually go to a $3 theater with a fairly small screen, creaky seats, and awkwardly placed cupholders.
There used to be one like that near me. God, I loved that place.
They had an upstairs area with three arcade games from when they first invented the video game. None of the buttons work, but they still raised the price of the games when things started going up from one quarter to ten for a single play.
They're all over Dallas; you can order food and booze while watching a flick. So, the question is, "Darth, did you order a martini when you saw Casino Royale on opening night?"
I like going to indie theaters because they have beer on tap. Also wine.
I really wanna move to Europe just for the ability to drink everywhere I can watch a movie; I get tired of paying outrageous prices at SMG just for the privilege of spending money.

The answer is a resounding, "You bet your ass."
"Shaken or stirred?" The bartender asked, to which you damn well better have replied,
"Does it look like I give a damn?"
Which might just be the best line in any Bond movie. Ever.

I tend to agree.

The Paramount Theater in Abilene is a pretty cool place. It's a fully-restored old movie palace from the golden age of cinema, and they usually show old movies there. The ceiling is painted like the night sky, with stars and clouds, and the whole place as a sort of baroque Arabian Nights theme.
They show The Changeling every Halloween, and I saw It's A Mad Mad (et al) World there for the first time.
I went and saw the original Halloween at my local drive-in a few years back. That is the most awesome and cliche' thing, seeing a horror movie at a drive-in.
Leather sofas, fuckloads of space, your own table to put shit on. Separate bar for drinks and snacks and a catering service if you're too lazy to get up.
When I saw the dark knight in imax I left during the stupid laser show and came back in when the movie started because those dumb lasers gave me a panic attack

I saw signs in a drive-in
of course I was young and the movie theater was right next to a corn field so it scared the shit out of me

Extraordinary takes time
Those pictures don't do it justice. The only screen that's larger is IMAX, and IMAX is uncomfortable and lame.
I always take my moms station wagon when I go and sit in the back seat.
e: I mean like, i pull in with the front of the car facing away from the screen. The back seat of the car faces backward and the entire back opens up.
It's a piece of shit and the one time I went there the film burned in half during the movie causing a 15 minute delay.
it looks so dang cool
the local theater is staffed entirely by teenagers who I know
they get free pizza when they come where I work, I get free movies/popcorn when I go where they work
Hell, I was near the very back of the balcony when I saw The Dark Knight and it was still a great experience

That was such a great game.
I alwyas tried to get other nearby kids to get involved, so I could do the combo attacks, but they would always fuck it up.
Aw man, both Bart and Homer are taken... now I gotta be a girl!
I guess I'll pick Lisa because a jumprope-whip is pretty sweet.
Damn you Marge and your vacuum!
STOP IT, WE'RE GOING THIS WAY AND KILLING THESE ASSHOLE RABBIT PEOPLE
Oh pfft, even I've been there.

Just a 20minute drive from my home.
unfortunately, that part of the state is like 3 hours away from me.
