Watching films - at the cinema, on cable, from a DVD - is my preferred form of distraction. I am probably making up for my childhood. I can only recall going to the cinema less 20 times before graduating high school. We did not get a VCR until I was 14, and rentals were expensive. Cable television was a myth. We were lucky to get a fifth local channel depending on reception.

Because of time and money, I watch the majority of films at home on DVD. You can buy DVDs for $16 or less and watch it whenever you want in the comfort of your home. Plus DVDs can be regifted, have a resale value, have special features, etc. With a small child now, making the trip to the cinema is now even more difficult.
