because I want them to keep making them. I went to see "Marshall" in the theater for that very reason. It could have easily been an HBO movie, but I just want to continue to see that kind of film in a theater.

IMHO, theater movies are still a bargain. Where else can you get 2 hours entertainment, in the best conditions, for under $20 a person. Most concerts and sporting events cost $50+ per person, plus parking!
