I do a few times a year out when a film comes out that I REALLY want to see....my husband rarely likes to go to the movies and I do not mind going alone at all:)

Nope. I only did it once, when I was really mad at my dad and I wanted to get out of the house. I went to the "cheap" theater and picked the only movie which was playing at the time, which was The Perfect Man with Heather Locklear and Hilary Duff. I sat through about ten minutes before I was sick of feeling self-conscious and bored of the movie so I left the theater.

I saw a couple movies by myself like DaVinci Code and Fantastic Four 2 (don't know why I saw that at all).

But if I really want to see a movie I'll go asap and not have a problem going by myself. I like alone time and the movies are good for that.

A lot of the time I actually prefer going alone, depending on the movie. I'm kind of a loner (or as I like to call it, "independent") by nature, and I enjoy having time to digest a film, especially an arthouse/thought provoking one, after seeing it.. without having to immediately dissect it, as is usually the case when going with others.

i only did it once when i wanted to see "Superbad." i did b/c no one i know wanted to see it so i went.

i have never went to the movies alone.
i usually go with my sis or friends.
i would be too self conscious to go to the movies
by myself

i go alone during the day sometimes, but never date night shows like friday or saturday nights.

I've only done it once before and it wasn't too bad...I didn't really feel weird or self-conscious.

before i met my boyfriend, i used to go to the movies alone all the time - but that was also while i still lived in Florida. there's this amazing movie theater there that has an upstairs that has love seats and great plush single seats - and that way i didn't feel like a loser/dork being alone.

If I waited for my friends to see movies with me I'd miss out on a lot of great movies.

I would feel weird going to a movie by myself after seeing everyone in big groups. I have seen a lot of people do that during the day so maybe sometime when I'm older and have an afternoon free? I never really thought about it before

I really don't see what the big deal is about going alone.

I plan to go to the movies alone all the time. I usually go to the movies with either my cousin or my sister but if I want to see something they don't I wouldn't have a problem going alone but in the end I always end having someone invite themselves. I guess when I say I'm going alone they offer to come like their doing me a favor or something.

I did it for the first time a few weeks ago to see The Dark Knight and I actually didn't mind it. I used to feel like such a "nerd" going to restaurants, movies, etc. alone, but the truth is, people are too wrapped up in their own lives to care about "loners" at the movie theater.

i do, but not as often as i would like, lol. it relaxes me to be alone and the movie sort of "takes me away" if it's good. why would anyone feel self conscious about going by themself? the lights are out and everyone is watching the screen. no one is thinking about anything but the movie

I do sometimes, but it depends on the theatre. If for some reason I were going to the giganto multiplex (which I don't often do), I would never see a movie alone. I try to avoid that place anyway. Sometimes I see indie/foreign films alone though.

Sometimes I just want to see movies that my friends don't want to see, so I catch a matinee on my Friday off or go on a Wednesday night or something. It doesn't bother me to go alone. I'd rather go with my friends but if it is something I really want to see, I'm not going to wait for the dvd just because I can't get a group together. With a lot of movies today, the home viewing experience just isn't the same as the theater.

I've regularly gone to the movies on my own. I don't have any problems with it. If I have friends who are also interested in watching the movie, we'll go together, but because of schedules, different taste in movies and so on, it can get difficult to arrange.

It can be more fun with friends, but at the same time - you're not talking to them (or shouldn't be, anyway) during the movie, so it's basically just before and after the movie...

I love going to the movies on my own, but I stick to the smaller independent theaters when I do so. It's just so much more low-key there.

If I'm going to see a bigger blockbuster or something, I prefer to go with someone, because I don't like being alone in those big chain theaters, among big, loud groups of people.

It's nice to watch movies alone, but I think I enjoy the movie more when I'm watching it with friends.

Anyway, I can't wait to see Vicky Cristina Barcelona go, Woody!

I go alone all the time. Its nice to just be in the theater and curl up in a seat with my popcorn and focus on the movie and my reactions to it. I see blockbusters, art house films, comedies, romances, everything. It really doesnt matter. The only time I have to go with someone is usually when its a movie Im not sure I would enjoy alone because the reviews are especially mixed. Then I want someone there to enjoy it/ make fun of it.

Ive never felt like anyone was watching me or especially concerned about me because I was alone. That would be weird. At that point I would be concerned less about their pity and more about them murdering me.

Love going to the movies by myself! I never have to worry about being late and missing the previews, sharing snacks, or having to explain what's going on on-screen.

Not to see comedies- those are meant to be shared with friends- but I like to see dramas alone because it's easier to concentrate.

If there was a movie I really wanted to see then I would.
I've always had people to go with me though.

What movie theater is that Ilanaic??? Sounds fancy.

I have gone to the movies by myself off and on since I was 14.

In my early 20's I used to have a day off during the week and used to pull a movie marathon.. I'd would movie hop and see how many I could squeeze in before my butt hurt or my mouth burned from the salt on the popcorn..

Now if the hubby doesn't want to see something or we can't find a babysitter.. once the hubby and kids are asleep I will go catch the last showing..

The nice thing is no one talks to you during the movie.. you don't have the share the popcorn or the diet coke and you feel like the whole experience is just for you. And if you hate the movie you can bounce to something else.

I've never did it, but I see nothing wrong with it. If you want to see a movie and none of your friends are available, or if you feel like being alone... It must be very liberating, I'll try it sometime !

I go on my own all the time. When i tried to hookup with someone to go to the movies, it didn't work out.

It's always more fun to go with someone else, but if there was a must-see that I wouldn't miss for the world and nobody wanted to go with me, heck I'd go alone. In fact, I did. None of my girlfriends had time for Troy, so I went as a loner...
Turns out the theater was empty except for me! Haha I ended up having Brad Pitt and Eric Bana dancing around half-naked for me privately

Sorry, and Orli of course

I actually went to my first movie alone last week(i'm 26) and frankly, I felt like a badass. The fact that I went to see Pants 2 may reduce my coolness factor but I don't care. It was awesome! I plan to do it again.

im only 17, that would look odd if i went alone

maybe once i am older like 30+ ill go alone

taadie exactly!

nope course not!

I go to movies on my own all the time. It's a matter of schedules and tastes. My best friend turns up her nose at a lot of the movies I want to see.

I've done it once or twice - if it's a movie I'm REALLY excited about, and want to see it really bad, but my friends are unavailable for some reason, or if I've just moved and don't really know too many people in the area yet.
And sometimes it's just more relaxing because if you enjoyed it and your friends would be insanely critical, it ruins it a bit for me.
I've stopped discussing movies I love with people I don't know well because I hate it when people diss stuff I love.

I picked the second one because if I want to see a film my friend doesn't want to see, I'll just go on my own!

i'm too cheap for that yet

People who refuse to see a movie alone are insecure. I won't wait for someone else just to enjoy myself.

Wow, I actually did go alone one time. I'm dying to remember what I saw, but I felt so good walking in and out of that theatre alone. Everyone should do it once, and everyone should eat alone at a nice restaurant once.

I'm very lucky that my boyfriend and I like most of the same movies, or are happy to see movies the other wants to see. On rare occasions I've been to see a film alone. If it's a quiet day in the cinema then I love it. But I wouldn't want to brave a crowded cinema alone!

I do it whenever I can, or whenever I remember to. I'm not that great about catching new releases to begin with, but if one comes out that I'm dying to see and I can't wait for it to come out to dvd, I'm more than happy to go by myself. I don't do it at night, when it's primarily date time, but matinees or early evening shows, I love. It's really nice to not have to worry about whether or not the person or people with you are enjoying the movie, and there's no talking, or sharing or popcorn (I'm so selfish about it. Mine!) so it's ideal for me. I don't see what the big deal about going alone is. It's a dark room with a big screen in it, and it's pretty much a guarantee that not a single person is looking at you once it's all lit up.

no gotta have someone with me

The initial thought doesn't freak me out. When I am up at the ticket booth and purchasing a ticket for one - I feel a bit weird - but once I'm seated and the lights go down - I couldn't be more content to watch a movie on my own.
A lot of people think Woody Allen movies are great 'date films'. I think they're perfect for 'movie for one' viewing too. I can't wait to take me, myself and I down to see Vicky Christina Barcelona!

I love going to the movies alone but don't get much time to do it. Either I travel to towns with no movie theaters for work, or my husband wants to go see every small film I am interested in.

I prefer to go to the movies with someone else, but if I want to see a movie and no one can come, I don't have a problem going alone.

I've only been to the movies ONCE by myself - that was all it took to realize that I don't like it. I think movies are good to be shared and even though I don't talk to whoever is with me, its nice to be able to look and see their expression to whats going on.

I never have, but I am not opposed to it. I can see how it would be enjoyable and I'm not worried about what others would think.

Yes I do go on occasion.

I haven't yet, but I might make it a NY Resolution this year. I'm building my way up to a solo vacation. I hear they're amazing!
