I live in central Europe and I usually just go to the movie theater around the corner. They only have one screen so we check the schedule when there is a movie we want to see and plan for it. Or we go when they play an interesting movie, they often have some independent movies that can be quite interesting. Anyway, we pay 6€ per ticket and we usually take some tea in a flask with.

That is a movie experience I enjoy, because we go see movies we want to see (as opposed going to the movie theater and just watch something that's playing), the price is very affordable and I don't feel like I'm treated as a walking wallet.

In the larger cities around we can also have the full commercial experience with popcorn and snacks, 12 different movies to choose from including IMAX, but that kind of experience we don't enjoy (although I used to when younger).
