As you walk into the building, to your left is the arcade room, with techno lights and loud music emanating from it. Right in front of you is a huge area filled with buttery popcorn, sizzling hot dogs and shelves full of candy. Just from this description, you may know what I'm talking about. Large movie theaters.

The audience is a huge factor when watching movies at theaters. Sure, there are always the obnoxious fools who laugh at the most inopportune moments and idiots that make dumb comments, but there are also those moments when the whole audience laughs, cries or shouts at the same time. When a much-anticipated movie comes out, the tension and excitement in the air is almost palpable and sometimes you just have to share that excitement with somebody else.

Through the good and the bad of the movie, the other audience members are there, contributing to that feeling of warmth that engulfs you. A problem with smaller theaters is the fact that there can never be that many people in the theater with you.

Large movie theaters are better than smaller ones even before you enter the actual building. Have you ever felt like watching something different than what you originally went for? Suddenly up for a comedy when you came for an action movie? At large theaters, you have the choice of watching a different movie because there is a huge selection to choose from.

In small theaters, however, there are not many choices if you have a change of heart. If the tiny theater is packed, you have to choose between spending your money on something else that you may not want to watch at all or leaving. Last, but not least, is food. Remember neon blue ice slushies, boxes of candy and those bags filled with buttery, freshly popped and fattening popcorn? With all this food, watching movies naturally becomes a better experience. Usually, smaller theaters do not carry foods that require heating and the assortment of candy cannot compare to that of big theaters.

So, why would you want to go to little movie theaters when you could enjoy a wonderful movie-watching environment, countless choices and a wide assortment of food?

Big movie theaters are the only place to go if you want to enjoy every aspect of the movie-watching experience.
