My parents are in their mid 60s. My mom watches some movies on Turner Classic Movies, but in the last 25 years, she has probably only watched 5 movies that were made after 1990. My dad doesn't watch movies at all but will usually (somewhat begrudgingly) watch one with my sister or me if we ask him to. I would guess he's watched a total of 30 movies in the last 25 years.
Is that strange? It seems very strange to me.
I'm in my late 50's and love movies. I watch them at home and at the theater. I can't imagine myself not watching movies as part of my life.
That said, I think it's more strange to watch too many movies than to not watch many (or any at all). Life is short and much of the time I use movies as a escape when I should be doing other things.
What do your parents do instead of movies? If they do something useful, then it's not strange at all. If they watch mindless TV, then, yea, maybe (some) movies would be a improvement.
