For me, the best films I have ever seen (i.e at the cinema, on first release) were 'Se7en' and 'Scream'. Both of them made me feel simultaneously dirty (I wanted to get home to have a shower) and elated (I wanted to get another ticket, and go and watch them again straight away)! |
Admittedly the cinema is
the perfect environment.
Or was.
But with a decent home cinema set up i think its just as good in 2013, as to me, the cinema isn't the place it was twenty years ago.
However i think this is the wrong conversation for this thread. Its about the best environment in which to view a film rather than the actual quality of the film itself.
