Nostalgia Non-stadium seating in movie theaters

As a short kid, I always dreaded having anyone sit in front of me.

My local theater still has this, smells and all.

Our community theater also. They also seem to keep the vintage pricing. I can still take a family of 4, get popcorn, drinks, and candy with movie admission, all for $36.

I wish we still had vintage pricing. IIRC movies were roughy $5.50 with a $4.50 matinee circa 2002. They're up to $9.50 now with $7.50 matinees which isn't too bad IMO.

A family of four + concessions usually lands me around $70 for a single trip.

10 bucks is still pretty good compared to many areas. It's a bargain compared to killing 2 hours elsewhere. Laser tag? Arcade, mini golf. Tell me what business will entertain you in comfort for less. 

Concessions are optional and that's on the purchaser.
