We have had these gold class cinemas in Australia for years – I am actually quite surprised that they didn’t start in the US?

I have been three times. On one occasion my boyfriend and I were given a gift voucher from someone as a thank you for helping them with moving.

Another time was when my boyfriend (who is the army) came home after spending almost a month in the bush training. He wanted luxury and he was more than willing to pay for it with the special training allowance he was paid for that trip. I wouldn’t have done it myself but his choice.

The other time was for the premiere of the 5th Harry Potter movie. My friends and I decided we’d prefer to pay up rather than stand in line for an hour plus. Plus it meant we could choose our own seating (although there’s now pre-assigned seating in our cinemas).

It’s nice but I certainly would only do it once every few years if that.

If they throw in close-captioning, I might just try it out some day. Till then, movie theathers have been banned from my leisurely activities.

No thanks – i’ll stick to my free redbox rentals (with their free rental coupon codes)and watch the movie in comfort at home. ..

For a crazy spending night we’ll go to the cheap theater where a ticket runs $2.50.

Nope. I don’t mind regular theaters. And I often prefer to see things at home. If I was rich and went to the theater as rarely as I do now (couple times a year) maybe I’d try it out.

No way…I can barely stomach the $9.50 it is right now…

Nope, not me. If I am going to spend that much on a “date night” I want to have some talk to talk to my wife and spend some quality time together. Watching a movie doesn’t do that.

Plus, a far less expensive option is to watch a movie at home and make drinks and appetizers.

Redbox Rental: $1
Bottle of Wine: $10
Dinner for two and appetizer: $10-$15
