Well I don't go to the movies much. Most bore me . I can't remember what I saw the last time I went. I'm 5'2' or less and there can be a 100 seats empty but tall people like to sit in front of me.
My wife's the same height as you and we have the same problem. I can't recall the last movie we saw in a theater -- too much hassle! We belong to a DVD club though and by picking and choosing over the list we find quite a few watchable movies, some we'd never have taken a chance on in a theater. But there's a huge number of real dogs!
