Have you ever gone to see a movie at the theatre alone?

Many many times. Watching films is a solitary pastime anyway. I don't go to films that much, maybe once or twice a year, but about half the time I go alone.

I used to work in a theater and got to see movies for free, so I did when I got off work. Does that count? lol

No, I have not and probably wouldn't either.

Hmmm...maybe I'll reconsider ...

No, I've never heard of a theatre that showed movies............If I found one that did, maybe I'd go

Yes, lots of times, and I would definitely do so again.

What do they call places where you go to see movies where you live? In the US, there are movie theaters, as well as theatres that show live performances, plays, etc.

Yes, and it was because my parents wanted to watch a movie that I didn't, so we decided to go separate, and meet afterwards.

Maybe a word 'cinema' could help?

Sorry, I'm American and didn't realize that the word "theatre" would be confusing..

No, and I don't want to. I hate going places alone. I only like to be alnoe when I am in my house, otherwise I need at least one other person with me to feel comfortable.

No, I rarely go to the movies and the only times I do go is when someone drags me to one.
Whenever I go through a break up or a rough time my mom always suggests that I go see a movie (we live kind of far apart) and I always say "go to the movies alone?!?.
Some day I may try it, probably a long time from now.

No, I would not enjoy that. Going to the theater is a social thing for me. I need someone to talk to before and after the movie.

We call it a movie theater, do you call it a cinema?

Once, when I was ten. I went to see "Spice World" alone, because nobody cared to see it. Does anybody remember that one?

Well, the Alzheimer's is setting in pretty good so anything past two years ago is a little fuzzy...

Yes I have. Batman Returns!

I'm sorry.

I loved it!

Where the hell have you been?

I saw Fantasia 2000 on an IMAX screen alone. I didn't enjoy it as much as seeing a movie with people I know.

Wow I find it shoking that an americian acctully splet theatre right and not theater as it usually gets spilt in the us.

An expert on spelling, are we?

Well, I didn't like how Burton's Batman just killed indiscrimiantly. That's not the Batman comic fans like myself knew and loved. That's why I actually liked the last two films. yeah, Two Face and poison Ivy were killed in those films, but with Two-Face he was kinda in a bad spot, and Ivy brought it on herself in her case.

Yeah, I remember renting it... cant say I remember how the movie went though.

My husband hates going to the movies,but I love it.On our 1st date he wanted to impress me so he took me to see The Rolling Srones movie "Let It Bleed" he took some ludes & slept through the whole movie.I had to keep waking him up cause he started to snore.Never went to a movie anymore after that.

Is that the one with Arnold?

Yup. Then I had to walk home by myself at 2 in the morning.
Creepy!!!

and Iseult, callen and SueBee: Okay, I feel a little silly now............I wish there was an emoticon for *blushing*

Oh, you don't have to be embarrassed.

Yes I have. Why would anybody have a problem doing this as not everybody has the same taste in movies. If I went only to movies that others liked or were popular at the time, I would miss out on so many films.

Yes, and I would do it again.

I don't know why people are afraid to do things alone. I eat a restauraunts alone, go to bars alone, go to movies alone... It's not like anyone notices, or cares.

And it makes you look mysterious!

no

Almost every movie I saw last year (except Road Trip, Chicken Run, Almost Famous, X-Men, The Replacements, Gladiator, Titan A.E., Shaft, and The Contender) I saw alone.

Yes I sa it on video @ my local library.

oops, yes.
I only see a couple movies a year at the theater. The rest are on video. When I do see a movie I expect it to commemorate the quality of a relationship I'm having with someone, and the experience has to be complete with a giant tub of popcorn eaten with m&m's.
I just now remembered that I finally had some time to watch movies when I was homeless. People would pass out free passes for movies that hadn't been marketed yet to collect review material. I used to see things like 'Lost Highway' that way. Those I did see alone. It was funny, in very many ways I was living better homeless than I allowed myself making $5k/month just a year earlier.

Oh yeah,that was choice!!! I remember that one now.Thank you for posting the pic that made me feel extra special. My favorite Batman was the one that the Riddler was in.Can't for the life of me remember which one that was.All I know is that Jim Carey was him.

never have, never will

I saw that one. It's the one with the giant duck the penguin has, right?

yes, many times, i like it!

Yes. My boyfriend was being a dick so I went to see Sweet November by myself. When I got back, my other roommate felt bad because he said that if he had know that I was going alone, HE would have gone with me.

Sure

yes, why wouldn't I?

Sometimes I find myself spelling things the English way - like "grey" instead of "gray" or "colour" instead of "color".

You must see A LOT of movies!

how about "center" and "centre". Ofcourse "centre" is the corect way.

Yes I have, but only about 4 times. The last time I went alone was to see "Saving Private Ryan". I just didn't think my wife would enjoy seeing a war movie, especially one that graphic.

This year I've seen a grand total of 1. By this time LAST year I'd seen more than 4.

I used to see more movies than I do now. I've just seen "Bridget Jones Diary" and "Evolution" so far this year...

Yes, and I wore a raincoat.

to see PI? You bad boy, we'll have to spank you when we're done with twisty's monkeys.

Evolution was the ONE movie I saw.

of course

I'm seeing "Tomb Raider" tomorrow night...

That movie doesn't interest me. Here are the movies (that I know of) that are coming before Dec. 31st 2001 that I'd like to see.

A.I.
Cats & Dogs
Final Fantasy
Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back
Lord of the Rings
Scary Movie 2
Rush Hour 2

Yes. I prefer to go alone. I've also seen a movie when i was the only one in the theatre. I felt kinda guilty because of the amount of power I was using to see that movie, but I stayed anyway.

How was Tomb Raider? I'm not into the game or anything, but the movie looks good because I love Angelina Jolie. She seems perfect for the part.

A. I. looks REALLY good! Did you see Pay It Forward starring that same kid from Sixth Sense? He's great!

Pay it Forward made me cry.

She WAS perfect for the part. It was quite silly and obviously unrealistic, but I really enjoyed it. A good "popcorn" movie.
(I can't wait for Planet of the Apes to come out.....)

Oh good, I'm not the only one...I was actually sobbing!! I was kind of mad that they made me cry so hard, but it sure was a fabulous story.

All I ask of a movie is that it entertain me, so it'll probably be worth watching. I'll probably wait until it comes out on video though.

Yeah - movies are SO expensive now. $8.25 around here (New York).

That's not that bad. Here it's about $6.50 and The Netherlands is one of the cheapest countries in Europe.

I think I paid $7.50 last time I went. That's at a fancy new Lowe's Cineplex, which is the only place around.

I probably go see movies more alone than I do with friends. Sometimes you just wanna watch the thing without having to be bothered with "do you want anything?" or "what did I miss?". I am a huge film buff, and that is like the only place I can literally get the chance to enjoy a movie without somebody bugging me about it.
