Movie theater popcorn?

Do you know a way to make popcorn at home that tastes like movie theatre popcorn?

I have a stovetop popcorn popper. How can I best approximate the taste of movie theatre popcorn? I tried varying levels of salt and Orville Redenbacher's popcorn topping, but nothing I do can match real movie theatre taste.

Thanks in advance!

    Find out what food broker the one in your area uses, and go there and get the same butter and salts that they use.. it will just come in large bulk...

    make sure that popcorn has been standing there for hours to get that real stale taste. and then at stores you will find popcorn butter (which is butter in liquid form) heat it up and add to your stale popcorn. then pop in a movie with surround sound and trun off the lights. i gurarentee you will not know any difference
