It's still not really the point though. Yes, I have a decent home theatre, and my partner and I enjoy watching shows and movies on it most nights we're home.

It's still not really the point though. Yes, I have a decent home theatre, and my partner and I enjoy watching shows and movies on it most nights we're home. But going to a beautiful old cinema to watch a classic movie on a huge screen, is a whole different experience, and one that most movie enthusiasts relish from time to time, regardless of what setup they have at home. No matter how affordable/practical it is to build a home theatre for many of us here, it still won't be for many people, and we can still find it sad that the ability to experience old movies in the kinds of theatres where they were originally shown is being wound back by changing corporate interests.
