Lets all go to the movies!

The rush and excitement of a new movie film often drew crowds out to theaters all across the nation in the 1950s and 1960s. Actor's such as Paul Newman, Cary Grant, and Joanne Woodward captivated audience's into a romantic, dramatic, or action-packed story line. The movies created fantasies for the audience; men and women enjoyed seeing heroes conquer the world or the warm feeling of two people falling in love. The classic dinner and movie outing was extremely popular... eat a nice dinner and head to the evening showcase of North by Northwest. The magic of the movies today, however, has significantly diminished. In the comfort of your own home, women, men, and children can watch movies right on their T.V. screens... but forget TV's even... laptops, Ipads, and cell phones can now stream movies instantly at a remarkably low price! People in today's society would rather spend $4.99 to rent a movie than an average $9.00-$14.00 per person for the theater, and they can remain in pajamas or informal wear. Movie gathering now does not involve transportation, it is more personal, and a plethora of genres are at the tips of our fingers. So why not? It seems plausible to forget the theaters, reclining chairs, big screens and settle for an 8x11 inch screen just because we desire staying inside.  Older generations in modern day will always remember the excitement of the 50s and 60s as the drastic change of movie-going has altered the face of our society.
