While I enjoy the big screen and the communal experience (and attend mostly matinees since I am retired) I have to agree that watching a well transferred DVD or laseridsc at home on a calibrated display with state of the art sound (Magnepan all around for me) has many advantages. In addition to the creature comforts you mention, one can rerun a passage if you missed a line, start the film whenever you want, adjust the volume as necessary, etc. With 1500 movies in my collection plus a very enlightened public library which stocks recent and classic films on DVD in their correct aspect ratios, I am truly in paradise.
