Where do you sit when you're at the cinema
Jump to: Newest in thread
It can be awkward when you take a new friend/lover to the cinema and you want to sit front middle and they want to go back row.
Where is your favourite place to sit, I like to have all of the toilet frequenters and phone users behind me so I go 5 rows from the front |

"We always book premium or luxury seats and they are normally in a good position.
Someone's earning, I tend to sneak into them"
Nah we don't pay, just use Tesco club card points |

"Always the middle. Prime position  do you ever go solo"
I’ve only been to the cinema solo once, but it was two films (Nymphomaniac parts 1&2). Clapham Picturehouse. Great evening  |

Back row, the seats right at the top of the stairs. I dont feel trapped by having people all around me, I can get up for the loo without the embarrassing "scuse me" while edging past amd my husband can stretch out |

I think there are only 6 rows at my cinema and that would be way to close for me. I like to sit about 2nd row from the back and as near to the middle as I can get |

Most cinemas you have to pre-book seats now, so that saves all the standing around deciding where to go (though some dickheads still do this).
Me, I always go middle halfway back from the screen.

Lots of cinemas have cameras focussed on the audience. |

"I always sit at the end of the row up near the back.
Going to the cinema isn’t as pleasurable as it used to be because people just can’t keep off their phones. "
Which is why you should try the front so they are all behind you |

"I haven’t been to the cinema for 35 years ! "
Beaten me by 5 years!
I don't have the attention span to get my money's worth. Don't even want to watch films at home for the same reason.
Used to get the BFI magazine and reading the résumé was a lot simpler than watching the films. |

Used to like middle of the row and right at the back. But nowadays they always leave the ceiling lights on, which are quite bright and quite close to you when on the back row. So now tend to prefer in the middle about two thirds the way up. |

My local cinema has reclining seats as standard, which means no risk of back or seat being kicked, and even if you have someone next to you then you still have sufficient arm room to not be playing 'armsies'. So that means only need to worry about optimum visual and audio experience, which for me is mid screen and as far back as possible. Many of the screens have the stairs in the middle which means optimum position is actually mid seat in the back row. And that's definitely not one to be sitting in if you're with a naughty, playful friend!! |

"Haven’t been a cinema in ages
Last time was when I went to see Grease
In 1977
Long time ago  "
Congratulations on predating my visit to a cinema in Leicester Square to see Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
Not only have I not been to a cinema since then but also have not deliberately watched films on TV etc for some considerable time. I don't have the required attention span.
I used to receive the BFI Sight and Sound magazine at work and found that reading the film résumés was normally much easier than sitting through the real thing. Only took a fraction of my valuable time in comparison. I still gained a lot of film knowledge doing it that way!
Now, when a film gets mentioned on here, I can look it up on Wikipedia. That saves ever having to watch it! |
