When I watch a movie like the Wizard of Oz I imagine that when it was first released the only way you could see it was to go to the movie theater. Can you believe there was a time you had to walk out your door to see a movie? Could anyone back in that time sitting in a theater thinking of a time when they could watch the same movie in their living room? And the best home theater systems available today affect our movie experience compared to only 10 years ago.
Today you can have Dolby surround sound with a better sound system than most theaters had in the 20th century. You can hear background noise in the back of you while listening to the dialog in the foreground.
If you can control all of the movie experience at home, why go out to a theater? Sure you have to pop your own popcorn but it is usually a lot cheaper than at the theater.
And film makers knows this. They have seen the number of people at movie houses go down steadily. Attendance may have dropped, but the movie industry is still making money.
They know that people would rather pay for a DVD they can watch over and over again verses paying for a movie ticket where they can watch the movie only once. This is why the movie industry is promoting DVD’s over movies. They have a whole new market to work with.
The movie industry is making movies with all sorts of unique features both video and audio which makes watching movies at home on the best home theater systems money can buy. This way everyone is happy. The people watching movies in their home and the movie industry who sells them the movies. Remember the old movies and the people who watched them the next time you are enjoying your home theater system.
