Which row and seat in the movie theater do you prefer to have?


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.

I like the back row. That way I don't have to deal with spastic people who can't control their own bodies kicking my seat.

Also, I don't have to deal with people allowing their brats, I mean, darling little ones, throwing stuff at me.

reply

Unless they throw it backwards.

With my horror fan friends I like the center all the way up near the front

Wifey and kids like to sit way back from the screen...I just sit wherever they want to sit, I don't make a big ruckus about it

Up front for me when I'm rarely solo or out with my horror fan buddies!

reply

Any special reason they want to sit far from the screen?

I swear it's just to screw with Daddy!

That is possible :-)

You'd think being the breadwinner and handyman would earn you some points!

I just shut up and sit where they call it lol!

reply

That is probably the safest thing to do.

reply

in the past, did you embarrass your wife and kids or something?

Shout at the screen? Popcorn flying at the jump scare?

Or is it the other way around?

reply

No, none of that though that would make a funny story

The fam likes to sit far back is all

Dead center, middle seat in the middle row.

I haven't been to a movie theater for years. The movies today are crap. The last movie I saw was The Darkest Hour.

reply

That is still pretty recent.

reply

True that is!

back toward the middle is optimal

I miss balconies. I always liked to sit in the front row of the balcony as you weren't too close and tons of leg room.

I was watching Pirates and my brother kicked his feet up and in Orlando a lady behind us spilled her drink on him at the end getting up. I gave her a little reaction. I think Orlando is trying to fun with me so I'll give them a look and they go on like everything is okay all the time.

I like the middle rows too :). I loathe and despise the very front rows, and the far back rows never appealed to me. I can tolerate being off to the extreme left or right sides of the middle rows, but only if I still have a decent view of the screen.

In the middle of the last or next to last row.
