We all love that hot buttery popcorn that we get the theater. Just for that evening maybe we don't even care that the price is too high, and that the bag of popcorn is just too big. It really is part of the theater experience, it adds immensely to the evenings enjoyment.

With the advent of home theaters however some people are bringing this aspect of going to the movies into their homes. It's easy enough to find a nice home theater setup, and have awesome Dolby sound and a 60 inch flatscreen. But let's face it, microwave popcorn just doesn't make the grade. There's something about real popcorn cooked in a real popcorn machine that just tastes better.

There's no shortage of new generation popcorn machines out there that have been designed and marketed to satisfy this demand. They range all the way from small tabletop units to full-blown replicas of commercial machines. Some are even on carts and can be wheeled around your home theater if you wish.

Current popcorn machines include advanced features as well that even some commercial machines will not have. Examples are built-in stirring systems, low noise operation (which doesn't matter in movie theaters obviously) warming lights, filters that let unpopped kernels drop into a crumb tray and more

When choosing your home popcorn popping machine or a number of factors that you want to keep in mind. First and foremost, how often will you use it and how much popcorn do you really need? There's no point in spending an extra hundred dollars to get a high-capacity machine if you only have movie nights once a month. By the same token a small tabletop machine will be fine if your get-togethers are small.

What you determined how much popcorn you will need for a given movie night, you need to compare the feature lists on the various machines. For some of us appearance will be important, and will want something that looks like an antique popcorn machine. Others will prefer sleek, stainless steel units that look much more like commercial popcorn machines.

Usually you can find all the supplies you need including oil seasonings and the popcorn itself in the same place where you find your machine. And most machines will ship with an initial supply to get you started. Once you set up though you will probably want to look around for the best deal. In addition, there are plenty of variations on the standard popcorn kernel. You may want to explore flavored popcorn's or kettle corn for variety's sake.

One of the most popular new styles is the antique popcorn machine. This machine is usually fairly high-capacity and includes modern electronic features like a commercial popcorn machine while retaining the nostalgic look at the machines that you would see in classic movie theaters or even outside on the streets.

These will be overkill for most of us, but if you have large gatherings at your home for movie night, this will be an option you will want to consider.

I hope this overview of modern popcorn machines has been of help to you and that you will find the right machine for your family movie night.
