In Theater vs At Home

I feel like nobody goes to movie theaters anymore; it's so easy to turn on Netflix or Hulu and just watch it from the comfort of your own home. It's much more convenient and a lot cheaper. I love being able to watch practically any movie I want at home, but watching a movie at the theater will always be my favorite. When I was younger, my dad would let me skip school and he would take me to the movies. We'd go watch whatever movie was playing that day, get some lunch afterwards, and then just spend time together until the rest of my family got home. And then it was funny because my mom would ask me how school was and I'd lie and pretend like I went to school (even though I'm pretty sure she knew I didn't go haha). 

With that being said, I do still enjoy having movie nights at home. My aunt and uncle have a movie theater setup in their basement that we all watch movies in. It's usually 8 of us down in their basement watching the newest movie (always something that my dad or uncle wants to watch), and I think it's so much fun. If my little cousins join, then it has to be a Disney movie so that makes me happier lol. The good part about this is that watching movies at home is still a shared experience, which is my favorite part about movies: I enjoy being able to talk about it at the end. It's definitely not the same experience as going to the theaters, but it's a close second (can anything really be better than movie theater popcorn??)
