weekday matinee solo movies are the best if you can make it bc it’s all solo viewers and theres something about that anonymous experience that feels really connective and communal. Years ago I saw Sorry To Bother You solo and there were 3 other people on the theater and at one point the guy behind me goes “what the fuck” and the girl across the aisle was like “same” and the 4 of us in the theater all laughed together at our collective confusion
wallybaby “what the fuck“ is an appropriate reaction to the horse transformations in that 🤣
I love going to the movies alone! I used to take at least a whole day off work/school to go to 3+ movies at TIFF on my own.
yesss omg its been so long since I had a solo movie date I need to get back on that fr
it‘s one of my favorite solo activities to do! a cool, dark room, huge tub of warm buttery, popcorn - and a chance to really immerse yourself into a great story or just entertainment. such a sweet little spot of life once you find it 💖
This is the way, been going to movies alone the majority of the time for prob 5 years now, like do I really need company to Andrzej Zulawski’s Possession at the local indie anyway???
taterhole I like to form my initial thoughts and opinions independently and I have a little 100-year-old indie theater just down the street so I can go whenever I want on my terms! It’s not uncommon for random people to strike up conversations about the movie after it’s over which is really cute. I’ve seen so many movies in theaters in the past six months lol
i went to the movies alone for the first time on the 3rd of this month and it was life-changing. going to the movies is something i ALWAYS do with friends, but my hometown friends were busy and i wanted to see mufasa before i went back to school. genuinely so glad i did it!
One of my favorite things to do - there’s a little indie theatre I go to sometimes, feels like a secret rendezvous!
just saw rome, open city alone in a room of extremely polite septuagenarians. walked home after and my tears froze to my face
my favourite thing to do alone ever!!! partly because i like to TALK to people when i see them so going to the movies wouldn't be so optimal :))
Watching a movie by yourself is great, cause then you can just sit with it for a bit. no pressure to immediately discuss your thoughts and come up with any insights, just pure enjoyment.
i always wondered what it was like. might do the same with nosferatu this weekend! thank you!
taking myself to the movies is one of my favorite pastimes. once you get used to it, it becomes better than going with friends / on a date!
