I really wanted to see Pineapple Express but none of my friends wanted to go with me. So I saw the early morning show all alone and I really enjoyed it. So my question is have you ever been to a movie all alone? Did you enjoy it? Or do you prefer to go with friends or a special someone and discuss the movie as it happens?

i went to movie alone many times in my life and i actually enjoy doing it.i never felt any need to go with some one else because movie is a object which i really enjoy myself ,so i don't want any kind of distraction which could take place if somebody else is with me.thats all

I've never gone to the movies alone. Probably because I'm a girl and have that someone-will-kidnap-me instinct. If I were a guy I'd probably go alone if it were a movie I really wanted to see.

don't worry. I am a guy and even I get that someone-will-kidnap-me feeling at times!

I only went to movies alone when I really love the movie and none of my friends will go with me. But there are only few occassions that I watched movie alone, because it is so weird to watch and laugh alone inside the theater and besides I don't like to sit alone, I am afraied that somebody will approach me.lol!

If I really want to see a movie I will definitely go alone. I have been to the movies more by myself than with friends and family. I love going either either way...I don't have ah preference, except when a friend falls asleep during the movie. If they bother to go I at least want to discuss it with them.

I have never gone to the movies alone. I prefer going with my movie buddy which is my husband. We really enjoy watching movies, we always discuss after the movie, while it's playing we are concentrated on the movie so we can understand it fully. I think it's just not the the same if you watch alone because there's no one to laugh with or cry with or share something peculiar that you notice at that exact moment.

Hi Baldie. The last time I watched a movie alone was way back in college (more than 10 years ago). That was Double Team, with Jean Claude van Damme and Rodman, the NBA player. Anyway, it was fun because I love action movies and that of van Damme as well. But generally, I prefer watching movies with friends or my boyfriend. It's better to have someone whom you can eat pop corn and drink a can of soda with, discuss or even argue about the movie.

I usually like going to the movies with someone but I don't have any problems going alone. I have done it many times. It is fine with me to do that. I guess that I will continue to do the same thing many more times.

When I was still going to the movies, I used to prefer to go alone. I found that I enjoyed the movie a lot more by myself because I could see the movies I wanted to see and didn't have to listen to whoever went with me complain about how bored they were. Plus, I didn't have to split my snacks with anyone, and that's always a plus.
