3. So true.

Oh sure, everyone's seen "The Wizard of Oz", but it was so much better the time I saw it in a theater.

Then there was the Director's Cut of "Lawrence of Arabia", shown on the last remaining 90-ft-wide Panavision screen in my town before that theater gave way to multiplexes, which gave way to videocassette rental, which gave way to streaming...

It's great to that people now have such a bountiful smorgasbord of movies right in their own living rooms, but still, you've never really seen a movie until you've seen it on the big screen.
