We have some movie lovers here. What are some of your little quirks when it comes to seeing movies?

I have:

1) I try to sit in the center on the first or second row, on the second tier. (second tier is where most people will sit on).

2) The time I stay sitted when the credit starts rolling is directly proportional to how satistfied I was about the movie.

3) I try to see very desirable movies before they are moved to smaller rooms.

4) I make sure I'll not have to go to bathroom during the movie before going in.

5) Generally I do not like watching a great movie again within a short time. If it's not a great movie, and I don't personally love it for unexplanable reason (Napoleon Dynamite comes to mind), I will not watch it again. I make rare exception when I can tell the movie just won't be as enjoyable when viewed at home, and I loved it. In that case I will possibly see it up to 3 times when it's still being shown in a big room.

1- Depending on the side of the room, I try to be seated so that my vision span barely equals the whole screen (a little bit more).
2- I usually jump of my seat just when the credits start rolling. I hate to stay and hear the comment of other people - I like to stay on my own a few minutes after the movie is over.
3- I prefer big rooms but it depends on the movie. I don't really care for more intimate movies.
4- Ok
5- I never go and see the same movie twice. I can only remember two exceptions : the original star wars trilogy (I saw it as a kid and later as a teenager), and Matrix (I first saw it with friends and then with my loved one - I immediately regreted it, realising how long, boring and pretentious it could be for those who don't like SF).
