I don’t have a spare room to make a soundproof “home theater” (and making such a room would require you to be like extremely rich to even fund that renovation) so what’s the cheapest movie viewing experience you can conceivably get at home that’s good enough? (I hate the idea of movie theaters, so please don’t tell me to go to one lol, I hate being around people)

Preferrably no TVs because that would be very hard to take with me if I have to move in the future (its too fragile and too big and a huge hassle to deal with). So I’m thinking like some projectors or something like that.

Because my main viewing screen right now is just my phone and Christopher Nolan would be disappointed if he found out lol. (Don’t judge lol, the last time I actually used an actual PC was like few years ago, I no longer have a functional computer right now, because I haven’t found the need to replace the broken one, since phones do a lot nowadays)

I’m thinking like a budget of $1000 or less (the cheaper the better, but not like too low quality either).

(P.S. I don’t actually have that budget to get that immediately, but I’m just planning for something to look forward to in the future.)

Edit: I mean $1000 in US Dollars

    Hey, this isn’t what you’re looking for, like, at all, but I just built the coziest movie set up by buying a $50 15in CRT, a $20 VCR player, and 50 VHS’ for $10. Put it all next to my bed with retro consoles to boot, and the best part is not only are all the ads nostalgic and crammed into the beginning of the movie, but no live service is going to make my tapes move to a new subscription service.

    Just… Curl up in bed and put in a movie that you own. Oops, forgot to rewind. Lemme play a round of starfox while I wait.
