With the 97th Academy Awards coming up, it’s important that you’re caught up to speed on all things cinephile and movie buff. What do I mean by this? Well, everyone knows the best way to watch a movie is on the giant silver screen, the way the moviemakers intended. Since we don’t have a silver screen to share with you all, a phone or laptop screen will simply have to do. And, instead of movies, we have memes that are about movie theaters. So, technically, these memes are completely unimportant to you with the Oscars coming up. You have to admit, though, that the title of this listicle is pretty cool. No? Just me? Tough crowd…

All jokes aside, movie theaters are an escape from the real world. Like Nicole Kidman’s AMC intro: «Somehow, heartbreak feels good in a place like this.» She wasn’t wrong. Don’t believe me? Scroll below to get a kick out of these must-see memes before the Oscars this Sunday.
