- Dear Andy
Here are a few good reasons to rent movies.
A family of five can see the movie for just $5.00.
You can watch the film at your convience.
You don''t need to find a parking spot for the car.
You can pause the movie to go to the bathroom.
You know the ingredients in the food you are eating.
You soda is 2% ice and 98% soda not the revurse.

- What a joke, I agree with all that responded concerning "going to the movies and bonding". The next few years will really indicate what the public wants and does.
I foresee the movie theaters as we know them dying out and new releases will be pay per view, which by the way will generate much more revenue for the movie industry. Of course the theaters are petrified to face this fact that they are becoming dinosaurs like the typewriter is to the computer. Thanks Andy, but face reality. - Reply to this comment
- I rarely go to the movies. None are worth seeing. Most of the DVD I get from Netflix are documentaries.
I do not attend movie theaters for many of the same reasons you all have stated.
The last time I went to the movies I was shocked to see COMERCIALS!!!!! - Reply to this comment

An old goat like him should stay home and watcha DVD rather than driving and sitting in a theater with all those peopel spreading germs.
Wakr up old goat! - Reply to this comment
- I love going to the movies to see a good film with friends, but there is nothing like Netflix. I am so happy with my subscription. I have seen the most amazing films. The choice is not mutually exclusive: theater or Netflix. I think Andy Rooney should check it out with a trial subscription. I think it would be interesting to hear what he would say after trying it.

- You know of course that Andy just likes to poke fun at America, why take such great offense to it? He has his 2 or 3 minutes of fame each week to voice his concern or belief just as you and I do here. I Love that part of 60 Minutes that I have watching for over 26 years or so. It's always nice to hear someone else kid the great american public of how smart or dumb we are.

- Mr. Rooney's most recent piece is completely disconnected that it is laughable and yet, in reflection, sad to actually watch this past Sunday. This piece would have made more sense in 1983 in the age of VHS tapes instead of today. Not only the numbers from Netflix returns but also the home entertainment industry is the clarion call that the movie house is on its last leg ... and, sadly, so is Mr. Rooney if he actually believes what he stated.
"I think the best thing about actually going to the movies though is being in an audience with other people around you." That is complete sappy romantic drivel. - Reply to this comment
- Andy - you're showing your age....going to the movies ain't what it used to be.
