TCM is my go-to channel! I record GREAT old movies and that's what I watch, myself, and send off to the progeny and their progeny. Also have "movie time" with HOT, made by ME popcorn, when they come to visit.

I haven't been to a movie theatre, to see a movie, since I saw "TOPSY TURVY", back in 1999, and shan't ever go back! Just not worth my while and any "new" movie, that I might decide to give a "try", is on one of the movie channels pretty soon after it has come out. Though these movies are far and VERY few between and often aren't worth seeing anyway.

And besides which, even as far back as 1999, people had less than NO idea HOW to behave in a movie theatre! Now, I've heard, it's even far worse.

How bad is it?

They have remade one of the great movies of all time, “Murder on the Orient Express!” and probably ruined it.

We just signed up with Filmstruck which is a cable channel with all of the Criterion films. That means classic American and foreign films only. I don’t go to the movies anymore - I’m not interested in Hollywood dreck and CGI. I’ll venture down to Film Forum on occasion as well.
