In theaters, this is nothing special. At home, this is a holy oasis of sweetness.

Because not only are theaters cold, they’re equally cold towards those who bring their own blankets and space heaters.

Our forefathers didn’t invent movies so we could freeze. Take warmth wherever you can get it.

When a whole bottle of wine fits in one glass, you’re not worrying about when to get off the couch (or if they fairly justified the laws of time travel).

If you don't have headphones to keep the noise under control, there's always this nifty download. It keeps the volume leveled, so you can hear whispers without everything else getting disturbingly shout-y.

9. Extra theater seats

The initial investment may be steep, but at least your dog can experience Hugo in its full glory.

11. Pop Search

popsecretlabs.com

This browser tool lets you search for where to watch movies online, but it can’t find Finding Nemo 2 because that only exists in your dreams.

Don't forget to head over to Pop Secret Labs, where new ways to enjoy movies are popping up all the time. Like Pop Over, the movie night app, coming the end of February. It'll help you organize and host the perfect movie night.
