To each his own but no matter how big the home theatre screen is, I believe that certain types of movies lose some of their impact if they are not seen in a movie theatre. LOTR is an example of just that type of movie. There is a swooping camera move off the tower at Isengard that almost induces vertigo when you watch it at the theatre. There is no way that the same effect is going to be recreated on a home theatre screen.....not even a 100 inch one. Regardless of noisy crowds and theatre management that don't give two hoots in hell about their equipment or presentation, I still like to watch certain movies at the theatre first.
