What is it about the theater experience you enjoy? It's not too expensive to set up a theater-like setup at home. A home projector and decent screen are around $1k. I've been watching Game of Thrones (and others) on a 110" screen for a few seasons now and couldn't recommend it more.

I don't have a large enough house to have a great theater experience without waking my kids up by enjoying the sound at the volume it should be at. Also, I don't want my three year old repeating the words of Tyrion Lannister.

It's the whole experience. The huge screen. The sound. The seats. The memories of going there as a teenager on a date. Watching a movie together with 200 other people. Zero distractions.

I still love going to the theater.

I hate going to a regular movie theatre. They are huge, crowded, you have to get there early to get a good seat, the chairs are uncomfortable, etc.

On the other hand, I love going to higher end movie theatres that aren't large, you get to pick and reserve your seats online, they have reclining chairs and one of the theatres I go to serves food while you watch.

For me, it's top notch sound quality.
