The last time I was at a Cinema alone it was to see "Gladiator" and it was just great to have horses galloping past me from behind "Fantastic"
It's strange how you don't get the same thing sitting at home watching the video, maybe it's my wife complaining about the damned noise !!

The only time I remember being absolutely alone in a theater was for a viewing of "Johnny Mnemonic" in Frankfort, Kentucky. From the way the movie flopped, I probably represented the average ticket sale.

I watched "Gladiator" alone and some of the Harry Potter movies. Here in Germany movies are usually dubbed but I wanted to watch them in the original (i.e. English) but my only friend who also likes to watch films in English did not have time and the movies run only for a short time in original version.

Also, (I forgot it, it was in original version) Looking for Richard, with Al Pacino as Richard the IIIrd. Not alone (strange film to go with ten years old) but with my mother (English teacher, that should explain a couple of things :roll: )

I think that the only film I've watched alone was Gilliam's "Brazil", which was a fantastic experience.

The most memorable was Schindler's List. It was playing at a little Draught House Cinema (a renovated small town theater where they also serve wine, beer, pizza, etc..). None of my friends were around so I went alone. That probably wasn't the best idea given the dark theme of the movie. Luckily, as I was leaving I ran into a friend who was out on a date. He's a funky Jimmy Buffet kind of character. When he saw the mood I was in, he insisted that there was no way they were letting me go home alone. They dragged me out to a blues club and we ended partying long after closing time. It got my head back on straight, but to this day the sight of a little girl in a pink dress makes me sad.
