The Flying Lizards: The Flying Lizards, and Pastel Blues: Nina Simone... DVDs.

The Flying Lizards is wonderful, but
Pastel Blues is just incredible & fantastic & heart rending.

Okay. The glasses might have been a stretch - it seems special screenings are occasionally offered. More info... https://www.yourlocalcinema.com/explain.html

Still interesting, thanks.

No volume control. No sound channel EQ. No subtitle option compared to home DVD or some streaming.

As a hearing aid wearer the turned-up-to-eleven sound level combined with unequal balance between voice and music/effects is borderline unbearable.

Max bass, max reverb, max audio compression, plus muttering and whispering by so many actors being recorded at low levels, combine to make cinema visits something to be endured.
