Cinema alone

I haven't but that is purely because every time I mention a film I'd like to see someone tags along, I would happily go alone though.
Peanut MnM's or Maltesers for me and a cinema hotdog 🌭.

I have only just started doing this and went to see The Housemaid on my own. There were other people on their own too. Go for it!

Go to a decent cinema like an Everyman and you won’t feel vulnerable. It’s like a theatre with sofas and armchairs and they bring you food and drink to your seat. I watched many films there alone. I couldn’t go to a big Vue or similar on my own but a small cinema much nicer. Last film I watched was the housemaid on New Year’s Day.

Yes but they taste better if you feel they’ve been illicitly snuck in 😂

Ive lost count the number of times I've been myself!
I started going since I was about 14 or 15 and im 60 now.
Never had a single issue.
Last time I went was a few weeks ago when a work course I was on finished early so I went into a local Vue by myself

With regard to sweets, take the quietest I hate food rustlers!!

I much prefer to go on my own. There’s something really comforting about it.

Once the lights are out, who is going to know (or care) that you're on your own?

If there's something I want to see, and no one else wants to go - I'll take myself to the cinema. Why wouldn't I?

Accidentally discovered the joys of going to cinema alone in my late 20s when no one wanted to go watch the rerelease of The Exorcist with me lol. Then watched a whole series of films alone including The Others in a theatre where I was the only one! Very brave lol

It felt a lot more relaxing not hanging around worrying how late my friend was going to be this time especially as she then took ages buying a stack of food whereas I’ve already got my pre bought economy snacks in my bag haha and aargh the stress of worrying about missing the start of the film lol

And now at 52 and single after having always gotten used to always snuggling up with a partner, I’ve regressed and wondering if I could have the courage to do it again 🤞

I like going on my own, I’ll try and pick a quieter showing time so it doesn’t feel like I’m the only individual in a crowd. I don’t sneak treats in either, you’re allowed to
take stuff into the cinema! I usually take in a coffee

I'm in the same boat, if only we knew each other! I'm going to see The Bone Temple sometime next week.

Love going to the cinema alone. I take snacks and a nice cold drink and sometimes treat myself to an ice cream. Given that it's dark and people can't see who you are with, it’s one of the best things to do alone without feeling self conscious. I am thinking of going to The Housemaid and Song Sung Blue solo at the moment. I'm happy going with others but if no one else is bothered about the film I'll crack on and go alone.

We have a local cinema which is tiny and I love going to that to watch films everyone else avoid eg ‘the golden squirte about the porridge championships. It’s escapism at its finest!

Team love it! Enjoy. I would take treats that don't have a noisy packet.

YABU for Monster Munch - they're delicious, obviously, but too noisy for the cinema!
Box of Maltesers is the only acceptable and reasonable cinema snackage. 2 people = 1 box, 1 person = also 1 box.

Why not? Are you one of those people who has to chat throughout the film?

The snack combo sounds wonderful. Maybe a little hot toddy in a flask would go down a treat with that selection ?

I go all the time by myself. Why would you be scared? I really don’t understand women who can’t do things on their own.

Loads. People who can’t do things alone are the weird ones.

I go alone all the time - it was very daunting the first time, I went to see 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One' and I just remember also finding it really awkward. I also thought everyone was looking at me and wondering why I didn't have any friends but obviously no one was thinking that 😂

It doesn't feel awkward anymore, I love going there and also the theatre alone.

Watched 'The Housemaid' with my Mum - we both loved it. Some minor changes from the book and I hadn't been keen on the cast announcement but loved the film!

The more you go the less awkward and scary it feels 😊

Peanut M&M's and a cup of tea.

I love the cinema alone. Depending on the timing I take a glass of wine in my water bottle and relax.

Absolutely love it Odeon Luxe wine reclining seats etc. Everyman hellooooo

I love going for something to eat myself then a solo trip to the cinema. Bliss!

You don’t need to sneak them on you know! You can take your own food into the cinema as long as it’s nothing hot 🤗

I LOVE the cinema on my own. I need to make the effort to do it more.

I actually prefer it to going with someone. I can eat all the way through without embarrassment and cry as much as I like. If I love or hate the movie I don't have to hear someone else dissect it afterwards.
