Do you prefer watching a movie in a theatre or at home?

8. Some movies are better experienced in a theater; some at home.

I prefer watching comedies in a crowd at a theater. The experience of being in a large group with plenty of infectious laughter makes even bad comedies more enjoyable in a theater, let alone something like Girls Trip which is pretty much a laugh riot from start to finish.

I also enjoy watching movies with excellent cinematography and sound at a theater. The huge screens with impeccable projection and audio systems significantly enhance my appreciation and enjoyment of a film. Blade Runner 2049 and Call Me By Your Name fit the bill here.

Spectacle films and big time crowd pleasers like The Last Jedi and Black Panther and the surprise applause-inducing Love, Simon are also films that I prefer to see in a theater as well.

Movies that I prefer to see at home include thrillers or horror movies like A Quiet Place or dramas like The Post or The Shape of Water because I would rather experience them in a smaller, more intimate environment.
