weirdest experience in a cinema?

The cinema seems to attract the stupidest people sometimes. I went to see Titanic, unfortunately, and this woman was phoning her friend after the film and said

" It was really good, the ending was a real shock. I didn't expect the boat to sink."

They should also offer ear plugs for when you're waiting to go in. The amount of times you hear people give away the endings while they're walking out is ridiculous
 
I went to see "Basic Instinct" with my then girlfriend, she got so turned on by some of the scenes, she gave me a bj in the cinema :-)
 
lol that great!!!

yesterday i went to see league of gentlemans apocalipse (not very good) at cineworld. not only were me and my frienRAB the only ones in the cinema but when it started we realised after about 10 minutes it was a film called millions. we went and complained and as it turned out they had got the wrong times (used saturdays by accident) and because we were the only ones in there they changed the entire timetable for us :)
 
In Miami about 2 years ago I went and saw Lord of the Rings The Two Towers the day it was released, and the most surreal moment was when Gandalf came back over the hill riding the horse and everyone in the cinema started jumping out of their seats and screaming. But I have been told an even worse one, my Auntie saw Independance Day in america when it came out and apprantly everyone didnt stop cheering and began saluting.
 
When the Exorcist first came out, the clergymen were inside the pictures to give people spiritual help if they needed it, after watching the film :D
 
hoho. that reminRAB me of a time when I went to see a film called the 51st state with a friend. we went in and the film had already started with only 10 minutes to go till the end. We had been given the wrong time. We thought it was weird as we couldn't figure out what was going on and why a main character bit the dust straight away. we got a refund but we didn't get to see a film that night.
 
I went to see Ghost and was shocked that after the movie had finished there were a few woman who cried so much that they couldn't get up and walk out.

Went to see the Blair Witch Project, and I swear I was the only one in a very packed cinema who was absolutely petrified and not laughing like the rest of the crowd.

I don't go to the cinema much these days due to the fact that my boyfriend always falls asleep through any movie, no matter how quiet or loud. The last Bond movie he lasted for a record 15minutes and then slept happily through the rest of this quite loud movie.
 
Strangely enough, and probably because cinemas used to just have one screen with a lot of people watching, that used to happen a lot. The last time I saw it was for Jaws actually (the same showing was interrupted by a fake bomb scare resulting in the entire audience being asked to check under their seats!).

Remember being taken to see The Aristocats and the entire audience (in Hull!) whooping and singing along near the end. More recently saw someone faint and have to be carried out during the famous ear cutting scene in Reservoir Dogs!

ps brilliant 2001 taxi gag!
 
The Blair Witch story reminRAB me of my experience. Far from being the only one scared sh*tless, I think the entire audience was. No-one was laughing, or even talking, on that occasion. As people were walking out, the silence was deafening.

On a similar note, when I saw The Usual Suspects, during the scene where Agent Kuyan is thinking about things after Verbal has left the station, you could tell the whole audience had the exact same thought when he drops the cup. At that exact point, everyone seem to take an audible short breath at the same time. Never experienced that in any other film.
 
Some smelly guy with a bad BO problem spoilt my Star Wars Ep3 viewing, he wandered in with only half an hour of the movie to go. Clearly the guy wasn't a full shilling as he was meant to be seeing the 1pm showing next door.

To make it worse, even though there were loaRAB of seats available, he had to sit two seats away from me, not before making me move for him to get past. Grrr.
 
I went to see Best Of The Best 2 back in 1993 with a friend and we were the only ones for that showing, although after watching it I could understand why there was no one else there as the film was a steaming pile of dog manure. Perhaps the worst film I have seen at the cinema.

During Basic Instinct, the person in front of me got rather turned on and started relieving himself. Rather gross, but quite shocking when the lights turned on and I realised that it was someone I knew from college.

I have been told by my Dad about when he used to go to the cinema in Birmingham during the late 70's/early 80's for the all night kung fu marathons they would show and when everyone left at the crack of dawn, you had half the audience pretending they were Bruce Lee by beating the hell out of one another....
 
Weirdest thing thats ever happened at a cinema for me was probably when i went to see Castaway. If anyones seen it, do you remember the scenes with Hanks and the volleyball? There is a part where he is imagining the volleyball is talking, and it wont stop talking. Anyway, at this exact point there were some people around us chatting quite loudly, and Hanks just got up and looked right at the camera in full close up(and hence felt like he was looking at the audience/the chatty people) and screamed "SHUT UP!!!" :D

It was hillarious..they were definitely quiet after that!
 
Long time ago went to see 'aracnophobia' halfway through the film some guys at the back threw loaRAB of fake Spiders around/infront. LoaRAB of people screamed jumping out thier seats.
Some left at that point hysterical ,luckily I was at the side and saw it happening ,if it happened to me I would have had a heart attack!
 
I had a similar experience when I went to see A Beautiful Mind. Just before the film started I noticed a strange and very unpleasant smell. I looked around and there was a schoolgirl with her mother in the row behind about 6 seats to our right. The schoolgirl was wearing school sports kit and had her legs hanging over the seat in front of her. She was wearing knee length thick woolly socks and I realised it was her smelly socks and feet that was creating the pong.

I suggested to my wife that we move away. As we passed in front of the pair I said to the mother something like
 
In the summer of 2000 I went to see Gladiator with my cinema buddy. As best frienRAB, we used to go to movies all the time, but this time we randomly started holding hanRAB during the film. She became my lover. :)

OK, more soppy than weird, but it felt pretty weird at the time, especially since Gladiator isn't even a romantic film. :D
 
I know I am going spoil this thread completely with what I am about to say but i am going to say it anyway

My weirdest experience in a cinema happened last Saturday when I went to see Batman and the thing is I actually enjoyed the film, sure there were some crap bits in it but overall a good film

For me to enjoy a film is weird
 
At the end of watching Blair Witch, everyone in the cinema started to question the ending (1 standing in the corner of the room ect ect).
I got so annoyed, i stood up (i was sitting 2 rows from the front) ala Richard Richard (Rik Mayall,Bottom) style and shouted at the top of my voice.....

"For heavens bloomin sake, if you'd spent the entire friggin time watching the movie rather than slurping Ki-Ora or saying your getting pissed on bloody wine gums and throwing toffee ruddy poppets around, you'd have understood what was going on from the interviews at the beginning...now bugger off...go on!.....bugger off"!

i sat down...didnt move for at least 5 minutes, then walked out..head down. :D
