 Mc> Pretty sure that's 'The Davinci Code', but I could be wrong.

The Da Vinci Code (movie) came out in 2006.  That 2017 movie he mentioned must have been something else.

I see a movie in the theater every so often, but not very often these days.  It is expensive. I remember up to the early 90s, a movie in the theater during matinee times (before 3:30PM) for movies in my area used to be $3.25.  Now at around $10 for a movie, it's definitely harder to justify.

I've never even had a fancy home theater system.  My biggest TV (which I still have) has been a 55" flat panel TV, and I've never had a fancy TV sound system except for a soundbar for one of my TVs once.  Still, with what I have, I enjoy watching movies at home sometimes.
