Nobody remembers the bad movies from the 80s but there sure were a lot of them.

Bologna! There's a whole community practically dedicated to the terrible movies of the 80's over at B Movie Bonanza. :P

Focusing solely on the movie-going experience, I would love to live in a city like LA or NYC where they have a few theaters with added technological features, like 70mm IMAX and/or 4K projectors and/or rumble seats (those must have been amazing with something like Mad Max: Fury Road).

There's at least one 60FPS theater in NYC, it must be wild to watch a film like that just by itself, or even WILDER, in 3D.
But I believe there are a few theaters in Asia - probably in places like Singapore and Shanghai, but don't quote me on that - that screened Ang Lee's "Gemini Man" in the incredible-sounding combination of 120FPS in 4K and 3D, they said it was like the screen dissolved and you were watching the action happening through a huge rectangular hole in the wall.

I've seen one good movie in the last 10 years 😂

No, survivorship bias is real, but this is late stage capitalism. Disney owns it all, and the occasional worthwhile film sneaks under their writing by committee bullshit

There's plenty of good movies that future generations would happily watch... But proportionally? The number of movies made a year has exploded, the number that make an impression for even a year has dwindled

Whoa I thought you were exaggerating, but that's pretty bad. I would just show black and white movies in that theatre

Last Regal I went to had to replay the after-credits scene 4 times due to the projector restarting.

I have a spreadsheet

That's some dedication.

That’s surprising, the regal theater by me is by far the nicest and they do a good job of keeping it that way.

Not everyone has a good setup at home and people want to go out.

@Kit It's just a different experience to see the picture on a bigger screen.

How so? I much prefer the order that brings having seats assigned.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Assigned seating is the best thing that could have ever happened to movie theaters!

It rewards the people who are on the ball and buy their tickets ASAP and enables the ushers to kick out the assholes (teenagers, mostly) who try to sit whereever they want. Win-win.

Incorrect sir, assigned seating is the best!
