Do you ever go to the Cinema on your own?

November 9, 2010 6:54pm CST
I usually go with a mate or two but I have gone to the cinema on my own a few times. I have done when I have wanted to see a film that my mates aren't into or we want to see another film together but I still want to see this film.

i've only done it once before. but that's because my meet up with my friend got screwed up. i got to the mall about an hour late. then i couldn't contact her because it turned out, she didn't bring her phone with her. i ended up watching harry potter by myself and she went to see die hard by herself. we always have a good laugh when we talk about it. and whenever we would meet up, i would always make sure to tell her to bring her phone.

I do always go alone to cinemas. Not that I am lonely, but I like to be alone when I watch a movie because I cannot stand people asking questions during the movie proper.

I have a mate who likes to do that to, Sometimes it's annoying but as long as he's not bothering anyone speaking too loudly.

i do go alone to cinema, when i've got any problem that i can handle. and then when i watched any movie and laugh about it or screaming about it , i'll be ok again.. :) but sometimes i do it with my friends and my family

I don't often go to the cinema but it's always by myself. In fact, I'm going to see the new Harry Potter movie in about a week! I've only seen one of the movies and it was pretty good. Now that I've finished all the books I'll enjoy the movie. Movies are too expensive so I usually wait for them to come to television.

When I watch a film at the Cinema that I think is Brilliant I can't wait for the DVD of it to be released.

i don't usually go to cinemas these days because the ticket is already so expensive for me, but whenever i have chance i like it more to go with my husband or with friends. but i have experienced watching a movie alone, it happens once only when i have to wait for my bf then who have important matter to attend to that i can't join him, so instead of just strolling in the mall waiting for him, i just decided to go inside the cinema and watch a movie alone. i don't really enjoy it because i feel bored and really lonely especially when what i am watching is a horror movie. lol!

I agree it can be quite expensive but it's cheaper if you go on your own. lol

I generally go to the films along with my mom and bro.... Sometimes with friends too... But when I am home alone for a few days and even my friends are not interested in going to films then I go alone.... But very rarely..... If there is a horror movie in such a situation then i would surely go alone.... Coz I love horror movies and watching alone more so.....

Thanks for the response. I don't go on my own very often but as I said if there was a film I wanted to watch and nobody was going with me then I'd go.

Hi lakerfanster! I have been to the cinema on my own a few times when everyone I know have watched the movie already or nobody wanted to watch the movie with me because they don't like it. But just like you, I always go and watch with either my sisters or my friends because I know it's more fun to watch a movie with the people you love to hang out with. :)

Thanks for the response. That's another thing I didn't pick up on, going when your friends have already seen the film. I have decided to go with a friend when I have already seen the film and want to see it again and they want to see it as they haven't seen it yet.

Oh for sure; I find it really theraputic. I dont' do it often because of course I love to go with my husband or a girl friend but there have been times when I want to be alone and I take myself for lunch and a matinee. Why not! The only thing that wouldn't be so nice about that is being completely alone in the theatre. Lucky for me that as not happened.

Thanks for the response. I think it could be a good way of killing time if you have a meeting with someone or you are just bored of walking around town on a day off.

When I was going to the movie theatres during my college years, I used to go alone, after the classes. There were movie theatres just within walking distances. But, of course, these days, I don't get the time to go to the theatres. Just sit in front of the TV and watch on the movie channels.

That was handy then.

Hello laker fan I haven't been to the cinema alone so far. When i was younger i used to go with family, later with friends, and in the last 3 years either with my girlfriend or combined with the girlfriend and some friends as well.

I can't think of any movies that I've seen in the Theater with just myself. I always try to find someone to go with me, even if it's just one friend.

I usually go with a friend but When there has been a film I have really wanted to watch and they haven't I have gone on my own.

This is among the worst of scenario for me. In cinema hall I am alone watching the film with no friend and family around. I have never done this neither I will do it ever. It is boring, too much boring.

It does remove the good thing about going to watch a film at the cinema which is you can talk about it with each other afterwards.

I always watch movies at the cinema with my wife :) ...unless it's a scary movie. That's actually the only time I watch a movie on my own.

I guess she's not a fan of horror films then?

Never. But I'm honest, I would like...I would have a little shame because if I meet some people I know, they could think bad things about me that I have no friends... Anyway, it could be possible I'll do in the future... At least for thos movies that my friends don't like...
