Top Five Home Movie Theaters We Should All Have

‘Tis the season to go nowhere and watch movies in your Snuggie at home. Sure, curling up on a couch is great, but we need to dream bigger, people. There are better ways to indulge in idling … like in-home movie theaters. Here are five fabulous screening rooms that we could easily kick back in and enjoy the show.

Aside from being nestled inside a gorgeous 8,000-square-foot home in Bridgehampton, this movie theater looks like it would be the answer to all of our movie-seeing prayers. Giant cushion-y seats for about eight of our closest friends and a place for us to put up our feet while gorging on personal buckets of popcorn. It even has cup holders! Yup, we’ll take it!

The deep reds and maroons, the velvet seats and (gah!) those luxurious curtains! We love, love, love this theater! Styled like an old world Broadway theater, this modern amenity looks like it entered a time machine. Located in Southampton Village, the home theater seats nine and we can’t help but feel like royalty just looking at it. Listed with Douglas Elliman.

Sleek and modern, this at-home theater looks like what movie executives and their A-list stars would use for private screenings while being served caviar and bottles of Dom Perignon. At least, that’s how we’d roll if we were movie execs! Although it’s not quite as luxurious as its predecessors above, it does have 20 seats and we like the mini bar touch in the back, which is perfect since there’s also a wine cellar next door. It may be a no-frills kind of theater, but we wouldn’t exactly turn it down if it were offered to us. Listed with Halstead.

Admittedly, this home theater is more bare bones than the others. Instead of having what is equivalent to your own private cocoon for a chair, this appears to be a strip of seats altogether. It’s fine, we don’t mind sharing our popcorn THAT much. Just don’t hand the bucket back with only kernels, OK? We do like the two executive style seats with cup holders in the back. And we can’t help but chuckle at the rather charming addition of the broker featured in the movie screen. Well played, sir. Listed with Corcoran.

OMG! This theater is the bees’ knees! Although it’s modern, it has this weirdly-comforting Flintstone/Fraggle Rock feel, and because of that, we’d basically live in it. We love the cozy-looking movie seats where we’d be caught drooling when we inevitably doze off. But we also love the back couch area, which would be perfect for kids who couldn’t sit still, or sulking teens who want nothing to do with their parents but do want to see a movie.
