ah the good ol' days. in 8th grade i made out with a girl and played with her boobs for an entire movie in a completely packed theatre. looking back we should have chosen a movie no one was going to see but at that time did not give one damn. awkward part was my future varsity basketball coach slapping my shoulder on his way out of the theater after the movie was over. the girl and i had not noticed it was over and were completely oblivious to our surroundings until that point.

Love the idea of throwing wet napkins at people on their phones...that is probably one of my biggest pet peeves

I think just about every teenage guy is guilty of being too touchy-feely with a chick in a full theater. I did the same during Gladiator. I remember making out with this chick and then re-tuning to the movie and thinking, wait, isn't that his sister? Kind of ruined my happy thoughts... Kids today probably just sit next to each other and sext.

A couple of stories

When I was in high school I went to see the Get Smart movie with a bunch of friends. A lesbian couple sat next to me and spent a majority of the movie making out.

Second story, went to the Godzilla midnight showing at a theater with reserved seating. Some dudes were sitting in our seats and the show was completely sold out so we couldn't sit anywhere else. We went to our seats and asked the guy and his friends to move. This tatted up, long hair, scrawny dude wearing a sleeveless Slayer shirt stands up and starts getting in our face. He threatens to fight us in the theater. His friends were embarrassed and politely dragged him out. Once the movie was over he was waiting for us in the parking lot. Long story short he was too scared to do anything and ran away when we confronted him.

I've never seen two people have sex in a movie theater, and I think I'm actually kind of jealous. Of both you and them.

I've only seen people having sex in the parking lot. Rolled up into a parking space once, got out of my truck only to be right next to a car with two kids banging in the passenger seat in a fairly well-lit lot. There was definitely nothing left to the imagination.

that is absolutely glorious.

I bought tickets to the Alamo Drafthouse, and after sitting in our seats, and placing our order... an african american lady and her two kids showed up saying we were in her seats. Sure enough, we had tickets for the same seats.

She was giving me the finger wave, literally yelling at me in front of everyone and making a HUGE scene. She told me that there is no way she's letting me sit in her seats since she 'bought tickets 6 weeks ago'....even though tickets weren't on sale that far back. They could just take the 'effing food over to some other effing theater'. Her daughters were echoing her sentiments and loudly saying, 'Nuh Uh!' in the background.

On the way to the front desk, I realized I'd bought tickets to the wrong night somehow. So I explain everything to the manager, and they hook me up.

What's funny, when I went back to our seats to explain that it was all taken care of, she tells me that her sister isnt coming, and that we could have just sat in the two seats next to them.

Well then why didnt you say that from the beginning?

Not really strange but funny.

I was with a group of friends in College Station and went to go see one of the Saw movies... I think. Well we're sitting waiting for the movie to start and another small group sits behind us and we all instantly smell booze. I mean they REEKED of booze and a bunch of laughing was going on! Back then we were college kids just like many others so we didn't care, we were probably more jealous that we weren't on their level.

Well, the previews finish and the movie is about to start, screen is black, theater is silent... and in the midst of the silence one of the guys says "Hooters" out loud and practically the entire theater busts out laughing. He didn't yell it but everyone heard it! Childish, I know but man his delivery was spot on. Needless to say 15 min into the movie he was sawing some logs!

I saw Cool as Ice in its first run. Not kidding.

I've never had something that creepy happen, but man, I get so pissed at people who use phones/screens in movie theaters...

Years ago, during a showing of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, this woman in front of us would not stop texting. It was one of those steep-seated IMAX theaters, and so I leaned down, lightly tapped the woman's shoulder, and asked her to turn her phone off. She turned around, looked at me like I was crazy, didn't say a word, and went right back to texting. So then I kind of nudged her shoulder and said, "PLEASE turn your phone off." Again, she looked at me like I was insane, and said it was an emergency with her daughter. "If it's really an emergency, then go outside," I said. She didn't respond. Kept texting. So, finally - and I still kind of feel bad about this - I really shoved the hell out her shoulder hard and said, "Turn your f***king phone off." Well, she was technically sitting directly in front of one my friends, who was to my right, and this woman's huge, black boyfriend - who I failed to see - was sitting next to her right. And at that moment, the boyfriend STANDS UP, turns around, and starts yelling - at the top of his lungs - at my friend to my right, who was scared sh*tless. Ha, he though it was him and he's literally yelling at him to quit touching his wife, that their daughter is having an emergency, etc. And then like five or six people - from all parts of a packed theater - yell back, "Then leave!" "Go outside!" etc. A moment later they did just that, and everyone clapped sarcastically as they left. It was hilarious.

Another "altercation" I had was with some idiot at a showing of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. It was a big action sequence in a forest, and all the sudden this guy like five rows in front of us holds up his IPAD - with both arms, high above his head - and starts filming the scene. A couple people yelled at him to quit, but he wouldn't stop. So I had this big wad of napkins in my hand and half-finished coke. I take the napkins, dip them in the coke, make a wet, sticky ball, lined up my shot, threw it... and NAILED the iPad right on the screen, as the wet wad then fell into the guy's lap. Our whole row saw me do this and cheered. The guy then immediately pulled his iPad down, packed it up in a backpack, and left. To this day, it's one of my great accomplishments in life.

Got my first hj in 8th grade during "The Cell". The theater was packed, and there was an old couple sitting next to us. Horny, adolescent swarely gave no ****s.

Mine happened at the 'new' King Kong movie about ten years ago (the one with Jack Black). A bunch of us went on opening weekend, so it was one of those situations where after you buy your tickets outside, you walk inside and then go to the specific theater where your movie is showing and there's another line to stand in behind the velvet ropes, etc.

So all us guys were in line for King Kong - our wives all went into another theater to see some chick flick. The prior KK audience exits our theater, then the workers go in with the trash cans and brooms to clean up. As they come out, I notice a group of black thugs that has been sorta hanging around the general area (but not in line) starts creeping up towards the doors. It becomes immediately obvious that they're planning on jumping in front of everyone who has waited patiently in line as soon as the last worker comes out and props the doors open for us.

These guys were classic gold-capped teeth, NY hats on sideways, chains, the whole thing. All us in line were exchanging glances/eye-rolls like we knew what they were up to. So I make the colossal mistake of assuming that if I speak up, I'll have like 30 fellow moviegoers backing me up. So I yell "HEY!" and when one gold-tooth turns and looks at me, I say "uh-huh...no way....back of the line...you can wait like the rest of us".

Dude stared right through me with such hate.......and NO ONE in line around me backed me up! Just when I thought I was going to get shot, out of nowhere one of the pipsqueak 17-ish theater workers who was standing there with his broom and trash can says to gold-tooth, "uh, he's right sir, you're going to have to go get in the back of the line". Gold tooth and all his homies continued the stare-down me on their way to the back of the line.

I spent that entire movie waiting to be beat. After it was over, we found our wives waiting for us outside - they had a similar experience and bailed out of their movie early. My wife said right after they entered the theater and got seated, a group of loud obnoxious black chicks came running through - literally playing chase or tag or something all around the theater as their movie was starting. One of our ladies yelled "SHH!", to which Shaniquoa went into full "F YOU B**CH, I GON F YOU UP!!!" mode. So our women just got up and left. They reported it to the theater manager, who said he couldn't do anything except give them some vouchers.

Between that experience and the damn cell phones at a couple of movies that I went to right after that, I've stopped going to movie theaters., or malls for that matter. Too many animals these days.

I walked out of The Notebook during the hospital scene from the very back row saying (very loudly) "Oh give me a break? Seriously. She dies, then he dies and then everybody in this stupid theatre cries. Screw that. I'm not sticking around"

...I was not a crowd favorite.


...I still have never seen the last 5 minutes of that movie.

Man- The Cell?! You two WERE Horny!

Apart from the hjs and finger bangs like many of you mentioned- this weird story happened to me back in 2009-2010- in my mid 20s.

I don't remember what exact theater in Austin - but I remember the Movie Hot Tub Time Machine. There was 3 of us- one buddy in particular couldn't wait to see this monstrosity, but I digress. We sit down for the previews, and my friend starts saying "Hey- did you see that?" He says something keeps flashing- like a shadow. We shrug it off and get about 10 minutes into the movie. Around then, he flinches- and then flinches again REALLY bad, almost like a panic attack- he starts ducking. So he starts to really get worried "Woah- did you see that? Something almost hit my head!?" We hush him for another 5 minutes, and then WE see something- and we start ducking. We realize there's a bird in the theater. But NOPE - 2 minutes later it lands on the screen and we find out they got a BAT in there. He starts crawling around on the screen like a little cloverfield guy. Needless to say- women scream, and everyone panics and we empty that place in under a minute keeping our heads down.

I still remember getting the raincheck and thanking God we got out of that movie. I still have that raincheck ticket somewhere for "Hot Tub Time Machine"

Yes

Kind of. She really wanted to watch Scream and we made it through Drew B scene at the beginning, then straight to making out.
I also remember making out to all of Anaconda, but was too young to make any appropriate jokes. Even if I did they would have gone over my jr high gf's head anyway.

Went to see "Schindler's List" at Schulman waayyyyyy back when. Opening weekend, packed crowd.

Movie starts and we hear a hushed conversation going on a few rows in front of us. It's in German. My friends and I chuckled at that thought: Germans going to see "Schindler's List." And they were real Euro-trash, too: long dark hair and actually wearing authentic soccer (I'm sorry...football) jerseys.

Anyways, fast-forward to the scene where the Nazis are viciously rounding up the Jews out of their homes, tossing their belongings in the streets and executing those who resist. Well, ol' Fritz and the boys in front of us find that whole thing amusing. Fritz starts chuckling loudly and making comments in German to his friends, who then chuckle. Un-frickin-believable. People in the audience are in shock at what they are watching on screen and this a-hole thinks it's a comedy.

My friend can't take it and heads out to find an usher, who comes in, taps still-chuckling Fritz on the shoulder and asks him to leave. There's a small round of applause as the Die Hard villain walks out.

ahem...thunder-gunning

I had an experience similar to the OP. It was summer and this guy came in alone with a backpack. He sat a row in front of me and kept looking around. Within 10 minutes, he fell asleep for about 20 minutes, woke up and left the theater. He came back a few minutes later and had changed his clothes. Sat and watched another 10 minutes of the movie and then left for good. Odd chain of events.

The other weird experience: I was 16 and seeing a movie with my then girlfriend and one of her friends. The theater wasn't very packed. This 15 or 16 yo girl came in and sat in the seat right next to me. I had never seen her before in my life and she starts whispering to me: asking my name, if that was my girlfriend and then offers oral. I politely declined but then she became aggressive about it, saying that my gf wouldn't mind or would just have to deal with it. 15 minutes of this and she just gets up and leaves. Missed opportunities.....

Frank called in a bomb threat. That son of a b**** thunder gunned all of us.

Pretty sure I was in the group of people that reeked of booze, and no I'm not kidding.

When I was down in Honduras, one of our favorite things to do when we were in the big city was to go see a movie. It didn't really matter what was playing, and they were mostly crap, but still. Anyway, I decided to go see a movie one night (Along Came a Spider, I think) by myself at this ratty three-screen theater around the corner from the usual budget hotels we stayed at.

I grabbed a seat in pretty much the dead center of the theater. I probably could've counted everyone in the theater on two hands. About five minutes into it, a guy in the last row aisle seat got up and moved a few rows down, still on the aisle. Five more minutes, he moved a few more rows down. Five more minutes, he moved a few rows down and was then in the aisle seat in the row behind me. Then he got up and moved to the aisle seat on my row. Then moved a few seats closer to me. Then another few. At that point, I got up and moved to the aisle seat on the row behind my original row to ensure I was between him and the exit. I sat down, and just as I did, the movie stopped. I waited a second, and suddenly the house lights came on. The guy got up and walked down towards the front of the theater, and went into the restroom (yeah, this place actually had restrooms inside the theater, along the wall).

At this point, I was pretty freaked out, and high-tailed it into the lobby. Since it was a later show, the lobby was empty. No concessions vendors, no ticket takers, no nobody. The sliding metal jailbar gate had been closed but left open a bit for people to leave. I ran out of there, back to my hotel around the corner, and went up to my room and chain smoked cheap Lucky Strikes until I was calm enough to go look for something to eat. At which point I realized it was so late that everything would be closed. So I just stayed in the hotel room and watched crap TV.

Was she hot?

I went to see Avengers AoU and this fan boy ended up being seated next to me. He was obviously excited and was very enthusiastic about the preshow stuff (Alamo Drafthouse). He was loud and talking a lot but I was indifferent at the time since the movie hadn't started.

He spent the next two hours saying some variation of the following during every single action sequence:

"DAMN!!!!!!"
"SHIIIIIIIIIIT"
"NO WAY!"
"OHHHHHHHHHH"
"AWESOME!!"

Whoa.

I've seen more arguments in theaters than I can count. From Austin, to Houston, to Dallas, to the RGV. All having to do with one of three things...1) kicking the back of the seat in from of them 2) talking 3) cell phones

When I lived in Houston I had two roommates. Went with one of them to see The Patriot with one of them one evening. Some dude about two rows in front of us kept messing with his cell phone. Someone asked him to please stop. He didn't. Someone else was a little more vocal and told him to stop. He didn't. A third person very angrily told him to put his phone away cause he was pissing everyone off. Phone guy literally said "I don't give a f&ck". My roommate got up, walked over to the dude, grabbed the phone, proceeded to THROW THE PHONE against the screen, and then said "I bet you do now". The guy stepped up to my roommate and some black dude on the other side of the theater says "Ni&&a git yo ass outta here before I gotta go up there". Cell phone dude took a couple of looks around, realized the entire theater hated him, ran down to get his phone and left out of one of the exits down at the bottom of the theater while yelling "I can't believe this sh&t!!" True story.

The worst (but now funniest) thing that I can remember happening in a movie was when I went to see the Sixth Sense. 10 or 15 minutes into the movie, some dude (clearly a teenager judging by the laughter of his buddies behind him as it happened) walked just far enough up the ramp on the side of the theater before you head up the stairs to your seats and hollers "Bruce Willis is dead the whole time!!" and then took off with his buddies.
The whole theater let out a collective groan and as the movie played out, every so often you'd hear a "GD'it" or "A$$whole" as the scenes in which he's obviously dead (once you know) came on.

Or how about digging chips out of a giant Doritos bag?

I had a guy about 3 seats away from me in a fairly empty large theater do just that. After about 10 minutes of his digging and bag-crinkling, I asked him as loudly as I could if he was going to do that the whole movie...and he stopped.

I don't put up with any bullcrap in a movie theater. I'm old enough that I don't give a f*** what I have to say to someone. I've probably had to confront people no less than seven times in the last two or three years: a young dad sitting behind me and my young kids cussing at his 4-year old before a movie started, a young woman with her baby crying, a teenager and her mom talking incessantly for the first five minutes of a movie, junior high kids moving back and forth between seats in front of us and generally cutting up, kid kicking my chair over and over, doritos guy, people trying to cut in waiting line, etc.

My buddies that have been with me were at first surprised/shocked that anyone would say anything, now they want me with them every damn time so they can enjoy a movie, too, p******.

I've done the same thing in a couple of movies without the commentary.

Bravo!!

Had to take a piss and first bathroom I saw was a family restroom. I open the door and hear "you didn't lock it"! I see a chick on her knees blowing a dude. She apologizes.

OK, that really happened at a Padres game but seemed to fit in with this thread.
