My ideal spot is the row in the middle where the seats in front of you are normally a bit further away so you have extra space, i also want to have the seat at one of the ends so you can quickly find your place before the movie starts and won't have to be crammed in between two people and can also easily get out of there first if a fire or something else happens.
shareI always pick the front middle.
shareI don't think i ever sat at the first row. Always seemed too close to me.
shareI even do it in IMAX and Dolby Surround Sound, which is my favorite.
shareYou never get neck problems?
shareNo.
shareIt's not as uncommon as I would have thought because I often see seats in the front row reserved in advance, even when the theater isn't close to being fully booked.
shareI feel i should try it sometime, but i also don't wanna risk ruin the experience if the movie ends up being great.
shareI'm usually pretty secluded. The theater is often filled.
shareI saw Born on the 4th of July sitting in the front row 😳. Not my preference! All the other seats were taken.
Same as you, end seats in the middle section, halfway back. Unless the theatre's empty, in which case middle/middle.
A empty theater changes things a bit, i didn't consider that, if that happened then probably a few rows closer in the middle.
shareI like the aisle seat in the middle row.
shareI’m so sad, I have a list of all my favourite seats for each of the screens in all my local multiplexes.
shareNothing wrong with that :-D
shareIt’s sounds a bit like Sheldon from Big Bang Theory though.
shareNow that you mention it.
shareYou’re in my seat.
shareActually if you really were like Sheldon it would just end with your friends going to to the theater while you stay at home because "that was the only option" XD

When I was younger, always back row. Especially before stadium seating.
Now I like middle as the surround sound is calibrated for this position.
I like to sit dead center at about 75% of the distance between the screen and the back of the theater. In my local theater, that puts me in the third row from the back.
Fortunately, my theater has those new recliner seats and extra deep rows, so you can walk clear across the row without anyone needing to move out of the way.
In the middle of the middle.
shareDead center. Optimum surround sound. And I like my screen looks huge.
