Best Cinema Experience
It wasn't very memorable, but I still remember coming out of the cinema and I figured out that Ra's al Ghul was actully Qui Gon Jinn. And I remember how awesome it was seating in my seat watching the Tumbler driving through the city. That kind of experience you can't really forget.RyanRises wrote:You were 7-8 when it came out, I doubt you had a memorable experienceBlairCo wrote:I had a very memorable experience with Batman Begins at the cinemas.

Brave New World
Hey, I was 8 when I watched Return of the King and I remember me about to bawl by the end. Seriously.Law wrote:Exactly my point.RyanRises wrote: You were 7-8 when it came out, I doubt you had a memorable experience
TDK = I was literally speechless after this, just sat there in awe. Really started my passion for film, and one of the best days of my life.
Inception = The ending was so emotional, had me in tears. My favorite film.
TDKR = sat in lobby for 8 hours waiting with a bunch of fanboys, and taking in the crowd. Very emotional, and crowd was so interactive, long awaited film with the perfect experience.
The Girl WIth The Dragon Tattoo (2011) = Exceeded my expectations, and crowd was great.
Zero Dark Thirty = Such an emotional film, with moments that really take your breath away. Most of the crowd sat there and speechless at the end. Beautiful ending.
Django Unchained = Hell of a good time, had the biggest fucking smile on my face throughout.

I'm going to be selective about what I consider my "best" cinema experience and only add:
Inglourious Basterds: Went into this completely blind...didn't know much about the plot, or even who the fuck Christoph Waltz was. After that opening scene I turned towards my friend and his jaw was dropped about as far as mine.
Law sinks.
Brave New World
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2
Me being more of an admirer of the series rather than a fan, I was eagerly excited to see the final installment of the big franchise. It was a midnight showing, and I took my ex-girlfriend along (Who I am still friends with to this day), since we booked months in advance. Everyone dressed up and they all looked amazing (I wasn't dressed up though, so I felt like the odd one out). And as we all watched the film, the reactions to some scenes were quite unreal:
Still the best cinema experience I'll ever had.

Do you... like pineapple?
One of my favorite moviegoing experiences was a festival showing of Perfect Blue, way the hell back in '97. The audience was so incredibly engaged, so totally wrapped up in the mystery, that when the big reveal finally arrived everyone let out this collective "OHHHHH!"
Another good one: Grindhouse, a couple of years back. Just a really fun, rowdy, happy crowd, laughing and cheering in all the right places (and, happily, booing Eli Roth's awful Thanksgiving trailer, the only bum note in the entire film).
