Hard of Hearing and Going to the Movies: How do you deal with it?

We have one theater in out little podunk town of 9,000 30 miles away. It is a Suick theater and they have CC and ALD, but finding out which movies have captions is a little challenge. You have to call the theater and getting someone to answer the phone is "iffy". I'm nowhere near a movie expert but I've never seen anything on a movie advertisement regarding captioning.

arrowshooter, I know it's a long shot, but if you can band enough support, the theaters can get open captioned movies so that everyone sees captions without an auxiliary device. In Michigan, there are quite a few d/Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) groups that have Facebook pages. I sometimes see posts regarding open captioned movies. We try to get support for those movies since the theaters do go out of norm to get these films.
