Do you go to the movies alone?

Now days with the prices it is so hard to find some thing to do that will not cost a small fortune. Good for you for going to the movies. You need to do some thing for yourself every now and then. It would have been nice to take the hubby. I have done this before to. Just to get away. I do not hire babysitters for my toddler. If she does not go with family then I have her all the time so I do know what you mean about being with the kids all the time. Have you thought about maybe filling out job applications for your local companies online for the hubby? Then he would only have to take off work for the interview. Just a thought.

Somrtimes we feel to watch movies alone because movies are a great stress busters.They take you to other world.and you will forget about your problems atleast for some time.but we want to watch romantic movies with your hubby or lover.we would like to watch comedies with friends.It depends on mood and the situation.

i would do that (but i actually havent done it myself) but if you think, it makes a lot of sense, after all, all you are really doing is watching a movie. its not a time for chit chat but ya, the prices are nuts at the theatre and we havent been to a movie since we saw horton hears a who (which we got to see for free! - we traded in points for a voucher).

I did it once... it was the when I watched Da Vinci's Code... It was an awesome expereience actually! get to enjoy the movie even though I'm alone... it is just weird to see everyone around you with somebody... it distracts me actually... but I prefer to watch movie alone rather than with someone, it makes me concentrate more about the film's story...

I think it depeneds on the movie if you can watch it alone or with someone besides you. I prefer having someone by my side, so we can laugh toghether, comment ..etc. I think you made a great choice with that movie, Hancock. I waited for it too long, I watched it at home as soon as I got my hands on a version. So, to make a long answer short, I don't go to movies alone. I usually go with more than one person.:)

There's absolutely nothing wrong with going to the movies alone, especially if you are stressed and need time away. I don't go to the movies alone myself and for that matter, I don't like even renting or buying a movie and watching it myself. I prefer the company of others there with me. It is stressful when you don't have your partner around to help you with the kids but try to remember that his working late will help pay off a lot of summer bills. I'm a single mom myself and don't have a partner to help me and YES it gets very stressful and you just need a break. Try getting a friend or relitive to watch the kids for a few hours at least once a month so you and your husband (but mostly you) can get out and keep your sanity. It's crutial to do this otherwise the stress is just going to build and it will ruin your relationship with your husband. Good luck.

Twice. I went to the movies TWICE. And you know what? It felt a bit comforting. The first time I went to the movies alone was when I went to see "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie". The second was when I saw "V for Vendetta". But on both occasions, I had to walk a short-but-hot distance away, but it was worth it. I had my money ready to pay, and the thing about going to the movies alone is that you don't have someone drag you to a film that you don't want to see. The prices may be a bit pricey, but it's all worth it. So I have experience in this kind of thing.

Sometimes, yes. When I just want to unwind by myself, I love to watch movies alone.. especially when none of my friends are available or if everyone else are busy. I love to pamper myself with a movie, that's one of my therapy after a busy day's work:) Btw, that's really expensive for a bottle of water!

Well good for you! Everyone needs a break now and then, and instead of staying and continue to bicker, you left and were able to relieve some stress. The movies provide us with a "great escape hatch" from the pressures of day to day living. Too bad about the water though! Ouch! That's a bit steep! I guess next time you'll hit the water fountain in the mall first!

It's been quite a while since the last time I saw a movie in the theater. That was around 2 years ago. I was most active watching movies in the theater when I was a college student and yes, I would watch alone. That was the time when the ticket price was only 50 PHP on the average. Honestly, I don't know now how much it would cost but I presume the price has increased a lot.

I've only been to the movies alone once in my life, and that was to see Mel Gibson's movie, Passion of the Christ. I was living with my elderly parents at the time and was new in town and had not met any friends. I wasn't really alone, though. The theater was PACKED and I brought a big box of tissues and shared it with the entire row of people. :-)

i go with friends but the last one, Hancock, i did watch it all alone because everybody have somthing to do =/ the movie was great anyway with them or not but i believe if they are there it could be best thanks, Scorpionok.

Hi friend, according to me i won't go alone to movies. It will be boring if i go alone that's why i will go to movie with my friend's or my relatives or with my family. Really i will saw movie in theatre monthly once or six month. Cost of the ticket will be more now so.

I dont think I would go to the cinema alone,The feeling is terrible..because I cannot share the joys with others ,For me the most important thing is the happiness which I can get from,the content and the place are less important for me..

A long time ago I used to go to movies alone. That was when the cost of watching one on the big screen was not as prohibitive as it is today. Many of my friends found it weird that I did -- one because they think it's scary to be inside a moviehouse alone and two, because movies are meant to be enjoyed with someone. But I found it relaxing to go out on my own, enjoy an activity by myself and really concentrate on what it is I am watching. Besides, I could watch whatever movie that caught my fancy even the most inane without having to listen to someone else criticize me for my choice.

i never go to the movies alone so far... i am not a movie fan and hardly go to the theatre anyway... i prefer to watch the movies from DVDs or the computer... it is so much cheaper and more relaxing as well... i prefer to go shopping or read a book when i feel stressed... take care and have a nice day...

That's kind of bad, ain't it. Going to the movies alone just ruin everything. If you want it to be cheap, rent a DVD. The monthly cost of having movie rentals is far cheaper than going to the cinema just for looking a big projector screen and nice sound effects. I still recommend you to look for better options other than going out since you have financial issues that needs to be sort out.

I go to the movies alone all the time and I usually get a popcorn and drink. I I have been known to mix it up a bit and occasionally splurge for the nachos. Hey, I can't take with me when I go, so I may has well enjoy now! Cheers Stan

Oh! Good for you! You deserve a break. Guys don't understand the stresses a 24/7 mom faces. They just assume we are at the house anyway, so what's the big deal with being around the kids more. But honestly, all of us moms need to be able to take a break on occasion. I'm happy that you got a few minutes breathing space. I look forward to watching Hancock. Will Smith is so funny and talented.

I go to the movies by myself frequently. There are so many movies that I would like to see that I dont think hubby would enjoy I go by myself. I would rather have a friend to go with but I dont know too amny people that are available during the day. I agree most of the prices at the concession are ridiculous but I have a regal cinema card so I sometimes will get freebies from going to the movies. and have gotten a few free popcorns.
