Ever go to a movie by yourself?

[Jackie824]

Have you ever gone to a movie by yourself? I normally go to 1-2 movies a year by myself. I have some friends who say "I could NEVER go sit at a movie by myself"..and I think "Why not?"..
Anyways, I actually enjoy it, and not have to worry about sharing my candy with anybody
For me its because we do not do babysitters(well very rarely, and not for probably 2 yrs have we been out alone), so me and my husband dont go to movies, unless we go to a movie the kids can see.
So sometimes On a Sunday afternoon, I sneak away for a little movie time by myself.
Does this seem odd to any of you, or do you sometimes see movies alone?

See my tag....

Yep, I've done it and rather enjoyed it. I sit where I want to sit and don't have to worry about interruptions.

ETA: I'm talking about movie watching!

 

[Poohnatic]

Yes, I go to see movies alone. I haven't in about a year, but I have no problem with it. DH and I like a lot of similar stuff, but he doesn't like the drama/mystery movies that I do.

My dad did a lot of solo movies, so it didn't seem all that unusual to me.

I can do movies and restaurants by myself but for the life of me I can't go into a bar by myself.

I have to say that I never have. I may some day, but the desire has never been there.

 

[Skywalker]

No, can't do it.

If I went to a movie alone I would feel like a complete loser. Maybe it dates back to high school when I was at a movie with a bunch of friends and some person walked in alone and sat in front of us. Some of the guys in our group were saying things in his direction like, "So are you out tonight with all of your friends?" and whatnot. Even now, when I see people at movies alone, I tend to feel sorry for them, like, "Couldn't find anyone to go with you, huh?"

Now I know from reading these threads that is not the case, many people like to go alone. I just don't get it, but I can see the other side. Still would never do it though. Call me insecure. .

I went to see Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith by myself. It doesn't bother me to go by myself.

I think treating yourself to a movie is a treat!

 

[wide awake]

I've always preferred to go to movies by myself.

 

[Mandabella]

I've done it a handful of times when no one else wanted to see it. I don't do it anymore since DH and I pretty much have the same taste in movies.

 

[pixiemomma]

I've gone twice. Lethal Weapon 4 (bad, bad choice) and Collateral. I plan on going when my kids are in hockey camp this summer too. I am with at least 1 person, oh 97% of the time, so a movie alone is a good break.

 

[Blondie]

I haven't, not yet anyway.

 

[Stacerita]

I dont so much now. But back when I was in college and before I had the sweetpea I would go see movies alone all the time. I like all movies so there were ones that no one wanted to see but me. So I would go. Its odd at first. But not anymore. If I went with a friend I would order my ticket single, get my snacks for one, and wouldn't want my friend to talk to me during the movie. So its not much different. I know some people think of it as wierd. But its not. And going to a movie alone does not make one a loser.

 

[Dismom+two]

It's been awhile...but I have gone to acouple of movies by myself.

 

[GoofyDad869]

Yep. Probably 2 or 3 times a year. I love war movies. KAMommy can't stomach them. Sometimes she'll go see a chick-flick, but she rarely goes alone.

Sometimes if our respective schedules work out right, I'll go see my war movies with my buddy who's 1/2 of "StitchIsOurHero". Yes, we do the dude-spacer-seat thing.

I don't go to sit-down restaurants for dinner by myself, if I can help it (only when I'm travelling for business). That's the only time I feel self-concious. I don't have a problem eating alone at fast food, just sit-downs. I'm not a bar-type of person, at least not by my lonesome. I don't have a problem eating alone at lunchtime. Go figure. Maybe that should be a new thread topic?

 

[disneymcgraw]

I would definitely see a movie alone if I had the chance. I've seen every kid orientated movie with my little one, but I'd love to go see a grownup film lol.

 

[Art Vandalay]

Sure, why not? There's not exactly a lot of social interaction going on during a movie. Unless you're making out during Schindler's List or something

 

[KimR]

I go to the movies alone quite often. I got in the habit after we had kids. Sometimes I'd just want to get out of the house for some 'alone time' so DH would stay home with the kids and I'd go to a movie. It was a litte strange at first because I was so used to going with DH but after a while I began to appreciate the solitude. Now my oldest is big enough to babysit, but I still will go to a moveie by myself now and then just because I've come to enjoy it.

I myself MUCH preferred the opening scene of "Saving Private Ryan" for THAT sort of thing.
