because your house, no matter how nice it is, can never replicate a movie theater experience. remember when you saw jurassic park for the first time in theaters with a bunch of people? or star wars? or even indiana jones and the last crusade? the list goes on. that's something a home theater can never replicate. often times great movies are more then just the movie. it's also the experience you get from watching it with a bunch of people in a crowded movie theater. i'll never stop going to movie theaters. it's my preferred way to see a movie. besides sometimes there's just as many distractions at home as there might be in a theater.
well that is your opinion, yes sometimes it is nice to have hundreds of people, but once I was at the theatre (packed) and the person in front of me did not know enough English and all through the movie was asking the friend what they where saying. Yes it was one time (luckily) but how can you have a good experience when that happens? there are movies like the Rocky horror picture show, where the interaction is important, but for most movies the experience is the same if you are 1, 20 (the max I have had in my HT) or 200in the end I want to get engrossed in the movie and yes in a comedy more laughter in the right parts does not detract from it, but everything else (and there is always a bit of something else) does.
