Family Night With A Rented Movie

Growing up movies played a huge part in my life. On Friday nights my Dad would take all of us to the movies, each week someone else got to pick which movie we were going to see, and usually it was always something we all wanted anyway.

As a teenager I loved hanging out at the local theater with friends. It was also a favorite dating activity. My husband still asks me out to dinner and the movies. Even though the experience of grabbing popcorn & drink and enjoying the movie in a theater is nice, I enjoy watching them at home too!

I used to rent movies from Blockbuster but late fees were killing me! Noon, seriously? Netflix isn't something I have tried yet, because I don't want to wait days to see something that is available now. I have found redbox to be really easy and fun to use. The movies cost a dollar and you get at least 24 hours to view it without additional charge.

Amazon Instant Videos

My favorite way to rent movies though has to be Amazon's Instant Video! I can rent them on my computer or TiVo ®. If I do rent them on the pc I can watch right away or send it to my TiVo® to view later. Its instant and they have a great selection. You can even buy the movie! They are stored in your library! The costs of the movies vary so you can always find something to watch in your price range!

Theater or Rental?

Which do you prefer? Going out and getting the whole experience on opening weekend? Enjoying the comfort of home, without having to shush strangers?

Movie Theater!

TransplantedSoul says:

Nothing beats the experience of a movie theatre (although the HD TV we got last year helps). Avatar would not be the same without the theatre. That being said, we watch more movies at home (many do not need the theatre). Watching together as a family is a great experience.

You're asking a sahm who doesn't get out much....a date would be nice.

Rent it!

FamilyThemeNights says:

We love enjoying a movie at home together as a family--usually as part of a family fun night!

says:

I prefer to watch from home, surround sound, laying on couch, movie theater chairs ouch uncomfortable

MGDezigns says:

comfort of home def!

lilrocsychic says:

I have a tradition that I always watch the trailor before the movie and if I really liked it I watch the deleted scenes. Not to mention pausing for pee breaks or refilling my drink, and I can cuddle with a blanket to be nice and warm

Jessidoo says:

I like the comfort of my couch. Now if only I could get real movie theater popcorn at home, I'd be set.
