What's the most recent movie you've seen IN A THEATRE?
 
For me, it was 'Braveheart'. (yeah, I know.):headshake

DanaC 01-03-2010 07:46 PM

Uh...I watch plays at the theatre....I watch films in a cinema :P


Star Trek was the last I saw. Very good it was too.

Gravdigr 01-03-2010 07:51 PM

In America, you'll watch movies in a theatre, or a theater. Or a drive-in.

DanaC 01-03-2010 07:55 PM

We also watch films at the Pictures.

Harry Potter 6

glatt 01-03-2010 09:04 PM

I think it was Star Trek.

spudcon 01-03-2010 09:46 PM

Blindsided. Excellent flick.

Clodfobble 01-04-2010 12:43 AM

The Men Who Stare at Goats. It was quite enjoyable.

Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel

What? My son wanted to see it, so we all went under the guise of a "family outing." Although there were a couple really funny moments, it was as lame and predictable as you would guess.

Also, whoever came up with the word (and I use the term loosely) "squeakquel" needs to be knocked around a bit.

Up in the Air with Gorgeous George.

now my father - the last movie HE saw in a theatre was CONVOY. Beat that!

Dude111 10-22-2015 02:41 AM

The LAST movie I saw in a theater was DIE HARD 4: LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD

I saw it probably 4 times!!

I dont goto theaters anymore because I feel all movies are rubbish now so I dont care to see them.......

xoxoxoBruce 10-22-2015 03:26 AM

Spectre... Bond, James Bond.

glatt 10-22-2015 08:35 AM

The Martian.

It was very good.

infinite monkey 10-22-2015 12:11 PM

I saw The Martian. Liked it very much.

I saw The Visit. Liked it very much.

I saw Black Mass. Liked it very much.

Even though they're all RUBBISH, I liked them. ;)

(My big lonesome entertainment is to hit the theater for the first showing of the day on Fridays (not every Friday, just when there's something I want to see and I get up in time and I do try to catch up on sleep every now and again and it also depends if I drink wine when I get off my night job at 1 a.m. Friday morning) because I'm off my day job on Friday. It's cheap, and often no one else is even in the theater.)

glatt 10-22-2015 12:32 PM

I saw that Room is coming out and has a lot of Oscar buzz.

I liked the book, but have no desire to see the movie. It just feels more unpleasant and real than the book felt to me. The book felt like a thriller, and the movie seems like a traumatic thing.

Crimson Peak was gorgeous, but sort of run-of-the-mill story-wise.

I almost went to see that but I had heard the same buzz. Gorgeous is nice, but not enough to make me pay 5 bucks. Plus popcorn. :yelgreedy

It's a really non-inspiring title, to me. It automatically gets confused in my brain with Crimson Tide and Twin Peaks.

infinite monkey 10-22-2015 01:19 PM

Bridge of Spies sounds good. Maybe tomorrow...

Griff 10-22-2015 06:50 PM

I saw the new Mad Max, it may be time to go to the movies.

Still haven't been to a theater since "Braveheart".

I alllllmost went to an IMAX showing of "Star Trek Into Darkness". $19/person nixed that idea.

fargon 10-23-2015 05:30 PM

Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows part 2.

Happy Monkey 10-24-2015 06:41 PM

Bridge of Spies was pretty good.

glatt 01-03-2017 10:47 AM

Amy Adam's new movie, Arrival, was very good.

It's just about out of the theaters now. There was only one theater that still had it in our area, and they only had 10:40 AM and 10:40 PM showtimes.

I liked it because it was original. Not a sequel, or a remake, or a comic book. Not too many of those these days. Space aliens come to Earth and not speaking their language, we try to figure out what their intentions are, with some factions viewing them as benevolent and some as a threat to be destroyed. Good stuff.

classicman 01-03-2017 11:44 PM

Assassins Creed. Surprisingly, l enjoyed it.

BigV 01-04-2017 12:32 AM

Deadpool

Enjoyed is a pathetic understatement.

That was a smart movie.

Rogue One, with polo girl and "danger should be my middle name", we all enjoyed it, hockey boy saw it an wasn't so keen. I have overheard others who didn't like it, I think if you are a star wars nerd, it's good as it's background to the main story and you get all the little references. If you just go along to see a star wars movie it's not so good, the normal characters are not really featured, no light sabers (well maybe a bit)/

lumberjim 01-04-2017 04:59 PM

Same. With Ripley on Dec 23rd late show. It's a tradition

Yeah, Rogue was my last theatre pic as well. It was nice to be in the universe again and put in some puzzle pieces.

Doctor Strange, and the next one we're planning on is Guardians of the Galaxy 2 in May, followed by Thor 3 in July. If anything non-Marvel that looks awesome enough comes up, we'll sure give it consideration...our theater is tiny and the owner is heavily prejudiced against showing R-rated movies. I'm pretty sure the only reason he screened Deadpool was so he didn't lose the rest of the MCU movies. We had to drive 50 miles for the Conan reboot, and we're still kinda wishing they'd get off their butts and make a movie of the Iron Crown story while they have a decent Conan if they can pry him out of DC's claws. I know a lot of folks didn't like the Conan reboot, but I live with someone who has the first FIFTEEN collected Savage Sword of Conan anthology books...and thought the reboot was, at least, better than Conan the Destroyer. Faint praise, but better than none, right? ;)

We have some pretty serious love for Mr. Pool in my house :D Wish we'd been able to catch it big screen, but theater movies are kind of a big deal for us since we don't drive and rarely leave home.

Gotta make sure the budget holds up and transport is available (dual fixed-income household, fixed-income neighbor who can rarely sit through a theater feature, alternate transport is limited to a Prius driven by either someone recuperating from a head injury or her husband...). Ah, well...MAXIMUM EFFORT, right?

If I could go back in time, I'd catch Into Darkness on a theater screen. Went to the 2009 reboot with the neighbor and quite liked the new crew, particularly Mr. Young Spock Will Beat Your A$$. It'd be fun to try to catch the momentary R2-D2 cameo as flying debris in Into Darkness, plus Benedict Cummerbund (okay, so I can't remember how to spell his name this early in the morning) is a pretty decent actor when given a snarky character.

I think my feelings about the current Twin Pillars of Uber-British Actors are summed up by a Tumblr post I found a while back--Benedict bitching about why people HAVE to get an autograph, defacing a book just because their friends won't believe them otherwise, and meanwhile Tom Hiddleston on a publicity tour for I Saw The Light is all "Hey, dude, can I sign your hat?" I would never have bet someone as Shakespearean as Hiddleston could pull off one of the great hearts of American country music...but wow.

DAMN. What'd 1979 do to piss him off that bad? I watched Convoy like 9 million times on HBO, because back in like '82 when HBO was THE BIG NEW THING we had it for a while and they only had about a dozen movies. Convoy, Beastmaster, and a documentary called The Glacier Fox all got on my mom's nerves SO BAD after about the 20th viewing each...

Never let anyone tell you not to enjoy a terrible movie for whatever reason! Some of our consistent favorites are awful. Although, if my neighbor tries to get me to watch Wild Hogs or Roadside Prophets ONE MORE TIME...those are not my kind of awful. My kind of awful is best expressed as "I own like 25 Godzilla movies and all but about 5 of the snake-based creature features I know of, including Snake Island and Snakes on a Train."
