Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has a home cinema set up upon which they watch Bond or any other movies? I'm thinking projector & big pull down screen. If so are they any good?

I have a 70' LCD TV and will get a soundbar in the next weeks
Dalton - the weak and weepy Bond!
About 20x18 ft
My room is 13x18 ft ,I have a 84" projector screen ,hd projector (optoma,ceiling mounted )6.1 surround sound (dts hd ,mordaunt short speakers ,rel subwoofer,sony 1040 av amp sony blu-Ray )
Picked up the bond 50 blu-Ray box set for £40.
Yes , I would recommend a projector ,not for daytime use of course ( apart from when an important footy game is on)
The new 3d HD optima can be picked up for less than £1000
And bond in hd picture and sound is fantastic.
I would also recommend a soundbar to anyone with a flatscreen tv as the speakers in those tv's are crap and a soundbar is a great improvement on them.
I used to have a smaller room than yours with a 92" screen in it and 5.1 speakers ,so it is possible.
I've gone back to a 46 inch tv after having a sony projector! I miss the big screen so much I had a 100 inch image and used it for the Xbox 360 (assassins Creed, tiger woods) as well. Once you get used to it it's hard to stop thinking about it. It really does feel like a home cinema and even though the picture quality on my LCD is better I would go back in a heart beat. (Wife say so).
I also have a Denon AVR 3313 receiver B&W CDM 7 special edition main speakers including a timber matched centre and DS6 THX rears I also spent a lot on cables as it's really important.
To conclude Get The Prooooojjjjjjeeeecttttor!!!!!
Best thing I ever bought. (Get a Stuart Screen).
I was in a Sony store a few weeks back and they had Skyfall blu-ray on a 80" which looked incredible.

With plenty of coke poured on the floor to get that lovely sticky effect.
Then try and break a chair or two, and of course TALK throughout
The most important scenes. ) , and if lucky try and have some
Naughty groping in the back row.
I think BL, is still using shadow puppets .
Over here, the dear wife is in charge of that

But as soon as I'm watching a wildlife show or a bit of Bond . suddenly
She wants to tell me about her day ! X-( ) only joking darling.

But yes in general a soundbar will be noticeably better than just your TV's speakers due to the size,wattage, and number of speakers.
Television? I'm still listening to everything on the radio! )
