Wanna hear something FUNNY? (Going to tell you anyway....)
Independent, very strict church in LA...takes their youth group on a trip to Houston...while there, they go see Titanic, permission granted because the pastor was told OR the pastor's wife thought OR the pastor's wife thought she was told (however it happened) that it was a "documentary." ROFL In a regular theater. With the sketching scene and all. No one walked out, btw.
THAT is too funny!

Most churches/pastors allow their people to go to amusement parks.
Another thing I find amusing is the theater issue. Although theaters in general are still pretty much taboo (with rising numbers of exceptions), for some reason theaters at an amusement park or other public place of "entertainment" are OK. IMAX is one such example. Museums, for example, often include an IMAX and what they show isn't always for "educational" purposes.
Consistency is like that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow....
and while we are at it, museums being on the "good" list, in almost every case have some nekked chick or dude (and i aint talking about elbows), hanging on the wall.
while movie theaters often have movies that are quite good with no nudity and less offensive dialog than you hear at day-care.

Why, yes, Ferd, I have to agree...the most nudity I've ever seen in one day was on my first tour of my college campus art gallery. Apparently "nudes" were priority one for the art majors.

Reminds me of when I was in high school, our church had opened a school of which I was a student.
The pastor decided we would go to the art museum as a 'field trip'.
While he didn't see anything wrong, SHE (his wife) certainly did! I remember her covering up the eyes of the boys, especially the little kids, but admonishing us all to not look below the necks of the statues and such.
She commented about the David and Thinker statues how they were anatomically correct and she was shocked that they allowed that with children around.
I remember thinking, "what's the big deal", especially since I worked in a nursing home and saw the real things all the time!!!! LOL!
