***With every hobby/pasttime or whatever we always tend to look at the past as being the "golden" years. But if you notice, it's always in the past. One day we'll look at what's happening today and reflect on it as another golden time.
That is good observation and one I completely agree with.
Similar discussions take place everywhere, indeed, with the perhaps most notable example of the JGH's insistance that in audio "today is better" - my philosophy exactly.
Yes, twenty five years ago you could see more good movies at the theaters, but the sheer volume of what is availabe today on tape and DVD is staggering. And I simply love that fact.

As well....the volume at good movies at the theaters is great too.
About 4 blocks away from me is an "art-house" type theater. They run current release small films, but also, they specialize in all kinds of films from days gone by. With at least 2 movies, 7 days a week (every showing is a different one), it's not hard to watch a good film here.

  ...how much I envy you. 4 blocks? Man, I could crawl there with my back broken and my legs shot through...
  Most of us of course don't live in such luxury... How is the audience there - enough to keep it in business?

    The audience is fantastic. In fact, it sometimes shocks me how many people will show up for a film.
    The theater is a real success story and they do their best to offer diverse films and make them a good deal. For example, on Monday through Wednesday they showed the Bleu, Blanc and Rouge trilogy. Show up each night at 9:15 and pay $10 for the whole thing.
    Films get shown there from around the worlds and on average I would say they get audiences of 200-300 for anything of reasonable quality. The entire theater seats about 1000 I'd say. Certainly this pales in comparison to the regular theaters, but they do this night after night since they constantly vary their schedule.
