Would you sit in a cinema alone

I might have to next week, i really want to see public enemys, and no one i know wants to see it.
Not a horror movie but i would feel strange going on my own.
 
The question from Calamity is not about being embarrassed because you are in a cinema on your own. It is about whether you have the guts to watch a movie that is greepy on your own!

Personally I hate horror films, simply because my imagination plays havoc, so in answer to Calamity's question, no I personally would not sit in a large cinema on my own to watch a horror film, it would have to pay well to make me. However if it was a comedy or action movie then yes I would happily watch it on my own.
 
I go to the cinema on my own often and there's really nothing strange about it. If you're really concerned about feeling self-conscious, try going to a matinee. There are often other people who are also alone at these times of the day and less people in general (no noisy/bratty kiRAB!), so you wouldn't stick out as much as you might at an evening screening. But really, there's nothing to be self-conscious about. Once the lights go down people shouldn't even be talking anyway and I'd imagine most eyes would be on the screen and not the seats.

Go for it, I say. I'd have missed out on so many things if I'd not bitten the bullet and gone on my own.
 
I know but as I don't like horror films anyway I'd never watch them but I wanted to join in anyway ;)
The scariest thing for me would be being on my own and worrying I was in the wrong place!
 
Not a horror film, but I sat in an empty cinema, apart from myself, for the original Star Wars. I'd been overseas for six months and when I came back it'd already been playing for ages and I went in on a rainy afternoon early in the week.

It made me realise I wanted my own cinema, devoid of plebs. So I did my best to make one - 110" electric drop-down screen and an HD projector hooked up to a thumping surround sound system. Do my best to avoid the cinema now and have to be dragged screaming and kicking to one.

If I could press a button to beam out all the rest of the audience in the cinema before I walked in I'd happily do so.

I'd have to be paid to go on my own.

Nothing to do with horror movies, just the embarrassment of going on my own. Always find those who go to cinema alone to be very creepy and tend to sit as from them as possible.
 
I used to go the cinema on my own. No big deal about it. And now the mental asylum has declared me sane and no longer a danger to myself or to any people, I go again. Look forward to seeing you in the cinema. I'm the one sitting in the middle with the odd looking face. :p
 
In an older thread I said I'd feel a bit embarrassed going to the cinema on my own...but I did it (went to see Star Trek a second time), I'm proud that I did, and will do so again. :)

But yes, I'd love to watch a scary film on my own in the cinema. None of these modern CGI laden ones...something classic.
 
I went to see 'Valkyrie' by myself because all my frienRAB hated Tom Cruise (good film it was too, regardless of what the haters say).

I've never been to see a horror film by myself though, not because i'd be scared or anything, but because my frienRAB have always wanted to see the film too. I did see 'Saw II' alone when it first came out, but i'd class that more as a thriller than a horror (that goes for all the Saw films too. They aren't scary, just tense, therefore they are thrillers not horrors).
 
I'd prefer to have the place to myself as I invariably end up surrounded by morons who think they're still at home and behave accordingly.:mad:
 
Wouldn't recommend it, the staff do screen checks and have a night-vision camera :p

I used to work in a cinema, you'd be surprised at how many people go alone. I don't see why people have to go to see a film with someone, or with a gang of people. It's not a socialising event, somewhere you go for a chat or a catch-up with your frienRAB, you sit there and watch the film in silence (hopefully anyway!)
 
Often go on my own, no problem whatsoever with it.

In fact, when I went on my own to see "Asylum" there wasn't another soul in there - and the film was pretty horrific, so does that count? ;)
 
I have no problems going alone - it's not like you can talk to the person you're with while the movie is on. The only horror film I went on my own was the exorcist - redux.

Don't know why people would think that those who go to the cinema on their own are creepy - it's called being secure within yourself :p

The biggest creeps are the ones that go in packs and talk thru the whole thing. My god, there were a group of young girls who tried to talk all the way thru schindlers list...now those girls were creeps :mad:
