I like to watch movies for the first time with someone so we can talk about it, But on the otherhand I like to rewatch them alone sometimes? I think because when I am watching a movie with someone we may talk during the movie and I feel I may have missed somthing so I will go back and watch it alone. SO I was wondering do you prefer to watch movies alone or with someone and why?

I really prefer watching them alone, then talking about them with other people later. Having people in the room with me when I'm watchng a movie just makes me nervous, I like to focus totally on the movie and hate the feeling that the other people are in the way. LOL I don't know if that makes sense. In a theater it doesn't bother me so much, luckily the theaters I go to usually have quiet audiences.

I know what you mean and I cannot stand that, they just keep talking and talking and talking!

Most of the time I will like to watch movies with my wife or friends and especially if it is at a movie theatre; but occasionally I do like to watch them by myself as well. The more intense movies are definitely better to watch alone for the same reasons you have stated. If someone keeps on talking then we can miss crucial parts and have no idea at all what's going on! But it can be a lot of fun with others too and especially if it is a scary or funny movie because the talking and laughing is not really going to ruin anything in movies like these.

I agree with you totally on the comedy and horror movies, I would not dare watch a horror movie for the first time alone! lol

Sometimes I will watch a movie alone, but mostly I like to watch them with my family. We do sometimes talk during it and miss a few lines, but I don't mind. I like discussing the movie at the end with everybody else. That's almost as enjoyable as watching it!

I don't like watching movies alone. If I'm watching a movie with another person, I actually pay attention. If I'm watching a movie alone, I'm always on the computer or doing something else.

Sometimes I like to enjoy a moive by myself but I also like watching movies with my family. There are some movies my husband doesn't like though so I will watch those by myself when the kids are not old enough to watch them with me.
