We went to see the new Disney movie "Planes" yesterday. Lots of fun for people like us who love aviation. I noted that we have been going to the movies much more than we did in Maryland and I know why. Where we lived before the local theater (25 minutes away) was small, sticky floors and people talking through the film. Not a great experience. When we did go to see a movie we drove either an hour to Waldorf or an hour and a half to Annapolis. It had to be a special movie to make the effort, and even then, crowds or people talking through the film were occasional hazards. It is sooo much different here.
In the Villages we have 3 town centers and there is a state of the art theater in each one. All the theaters are clean and neat. Since we are retired, we can go to an early show and we have not experienced lines or anything near a crowded theater yet. Prices are reasonable for Village residents, the popcorn is good, and, so far, all the other patrons have been polite enough not to talk during the movie. With 3 theaters, 5, 15, and 25 minutes away respectively, we have lots of choices in current releases. We've tried all three theaters and, of course, the newest is the nicest, but it is also the farthest from the house we chose. That's OK. We are very pleased with this aspect of Villages entertainment.
By the way, for those who like foreign or independent films, there is a club that shows these at on of the recreation centers. There are over 2,000 different clubs here, in case I haven't mentioned that, so there really is something for everyone. I know the Villages may sound too good to be true. I assure you, I do not work for them, and get no profit from promoting the community. However, I am extremely happy we found this place. Everything you hear about this retirement community really is true. It is a wonderful place to retire to.
