I own and use my VTR as well, often to play movies.  I agree that
they just aren't the same as in the theatre, but they are still good.

I think, however, that comedy will continue to reign in the large
theatre.  Other people having a good time around you usually makes
a comedy movie better for most people.   The problem is, of course, that
this causes TV producers to add laugh tracks, which is an abomination because
you can tell the laughter is fake.

You'll notice you never see a laugh track on a theatre movie.
