Movie Fans Share Their Theater Memories

One that stands out for me: visiting Hollywood for the first time in May 2017 and seeing Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Excellent movie and phenomenal experience.

Watching Black Panther with my whole family and seeing Black people get to be superheroes. Seeing African cultures made “cool” in the mainstream, seeing so many complicated dynamics between Africans and African-Americans tackled in such a thought-provoking way. https://t.co/xsoxDAlBWm

The grown ass man next to me trying to stifle his sobs during the Brachiosaurus dock scene in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Same dude 😭 https://t.co/kyqrSq1DpJ

I went to see Coco at a fancy theater in a fancy mall during their last showing. The theater was predominately older people. During the final “remember me” song one guy let out a sniffle, and the whole theater burst into tears. And then laughter.

screening Cats for 200 people and having the collective screams of disgust be much louder than the movie itself https://t.co/WktqpWMEnC

WAIT!! How am I not mentioning the end of Cats (2019) when Judi Dench kept breaking the fourth wall and my audience went progressively more and more insane https://t.co/7ScZ3usGjv

When I went to watch Crazy Rich Asians and Astrid told her cheating husband, "It was never my job to make you feel like a man. I can't make you something you're not."

The entire cinema went "yooooohhhhhh." https://t.co/FvhPYk3rVe

I saw Magnolia in theaters, and after two hours of watching this old man dying in a bed, someone in the theater yells "oh my god, just die already!" Everyone laughs hysterically and like 30 people walk out. https://t.co/74DgV1XmnR

I was seeing South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. When Kenny turns around and takes his hoodie off... the crowd got still... and someone said out loud in the most honest voice “he’s beautiful!” The entire theater laughed together. I just never forgot it.

The Vader scene in Rogue One was excellent, the whole audience was in pieces with excitement!

For me personally, Silence was big. I spent the next two hours in my own head having a religious crisis because of that film...
