Yeah the last film I saw in a cinema was Casino, at release. It's been a while!
Honestly though, I was never much affected by the cinema experience. I very much enjoyed going to the cinema, but I never felt that the film was a different experience there. Which, honestly, I think comes down to my being very gullible/suggestible. I get totally absorbed regardless of what I'm watching on, if the film's good, I'm totally *in* it. I mean I probably watched the most films in my life on a shitty 14" portable TV with a really shitty signal.
So, while I could be wrong of course, I'm not convinced I would've felt differently had I seen it in a cinema. I was totally entranced by the first film cos, like you say, the beautiful pictures and amazing soundtrack (which I forgot to mention), even while being bored.
And yeah, 2001 is like that for me. When I first watched it at whatever tiny age I absolutely hated it. Thought it was beautiful but empty and pointless. I like it a little more each time I watch it and I'm now at the point where I enjoy it quite a lot.
