Do you turn off your cell phone at the movies?

I don't turn my cellphone off but I put it on silent mode. I hate it when other people don't turn it off or put it on silent mode.

I always turn mine off as soon as i get into the cinema. The most annoying thing is when people sit and text during the film. Their phone lights up and you can't help but look to see what is going on.

I actually don't get to go to the movies very much but when I do, I always turn off the phone. We all survived years ago whe we didn't have cell phones, so I don't know how people can say they can't get by without one for an hour or so at church or the movies. It is very rude I think.

I find people are so rude with cellphones, if you are going to see a movie remember so are other people, do not have a loud ringing cellphone to disturb people's enjoyment. Even on busses etc, remember strangers are not interested in your conversations, it is just rude. If you have to have a cellphone, put it on vibration and answer the call when you have a chance to be private.

i don't but its in a silent mode... yeah, i get irritated at moviehouse if there's a loud ring of a cellphone, its really unethical... so if you can't turn it off, turn it in vibrate mode or in silent... ;)

I always turn off my cell phone...It's really impolite to pick up the phone when seeing a movie. It also disturb others when it rings...

I agree, then some peoples cell phones are very loud & have long songs playing as ring tones. A lot of the times it's not even kids, it be the adults who don't turn it off. The worse is when they answer it and want to have a 10 minute conversation on the phone. (Really good question)

I do not turn mine off. I do however turn it on vibrate so it doesn't disturbe anyone else. I have two children with health pproblems and will never turn mine off just incase they need me for something.

I will of course switch it off or turn it to the vibrating mode so that it will not ring loudly,it is quite embarassing and disturbing if your cell phone alerts loudly, your ringtones will affect other audience pretty much and if you choose to pick up the phone, I am sure everyone will star at you. Some people may have excuse that they cannot turn off their cell phones or they will lose contact eith their customers which involve in multi million transactions,may be those businessmen better watch mnovies at home rather than in the cinema.

I know it is sooo annoying when you are hearing a crucil part of the movie and suddenly you hear a "ring, ring!" But for me i don't have a cellphone!

I put mine on silent, as I don't wear a watch and I like to be able to see the time quickly (especially if the movie turns out to be less interesting than anticipated)

hi Yes, I make sure i turn off my cell phone when i get into the theatre. I will feel very very embarass if my phone rings in the middle of a movie, and luckily that has not happen to me. I've also develop a habit of turning off my phone when i have a meeting in office. I think some people need to learn to be more considerate of others in their midst.

no i dont switch my mobile off or ignore it.....i will attend the call n inform am in a movie or what so ever n thn call them back after its over...yeah i also don like such announcements...as long as it does not disturb ppl, we need not switch it off....

sorry, but don't get mad at me okay? because i don't turn my cellphone off during a movie, but i turn it in silent mode. I just don't wanna missed a call or a text because it might be important.

I hate also people who let their cellphones ring, much worst those who put it on a maximum ringing tone. Personally, i turn it off when i get into a theater but sometimes i turn it on when i expect some important text or call, i usually set it to silent mode and vibrate so i will know if theres someone texting or calling.

Well, keeping the cell phone in silent mode is the best way. Sometimes, really emergency calls may come. Vibration won't disturb others and you also don't miss any important calls.

yeah i do turn off my phone on any function, meeting, movie, church service or anything that could catch anybodys attention in a wrong and selfish way. leave your phone in a silent mode or vibrating mode. that's the only way to respect those people sorrounding you especially on events that may require extreme attention and silence.

I don't turn my cell phone off commonly, but i will set it vibrating.so won't miss any calls and won't be hated.

I do too. It's very annoying if someone beside you suddenly rings their cellphone in the middle of the scene. That's why I always keep my cellphone off before entering into the movie house

If I'm going with my son, there is nothing important enough to get interupted for, it goes off as soon as i sit in my seat. If I am out without him, it goes on vibrate, in case there is a problem. As of yet, there hasnt been, but i would never answer in the theatre, its not that much effort to get up and walk outside the doors if its that important of a call. Some people are selfish and dont think of the others...boo to them.
