Topic: Movie rituals

Just wondering if all you film buffs here have any rituals you do in respect of watching films...

e..g...

is there a movie you watch once a year, every year, perhaps on some anniversary?

do you switch off the lights and the phones and unplug the door bells?

do you always book the same seats in the cinema?

if there are sequels, do you try and watch all of them together?

can you just watch #2 or #5 in a series, or do you have to watch all in order?

can you watch over other friend's houses, or do you have to have it perfect at home?

do the blu-ray snobs refuse to watch DVDs now?

with certain movies, can you just watch a scene or do you have to watch the entire movie?

if you arrive at the cinema late, do you still go in, or come back another session?

not long to go now...

I try and watch Back to the Future on my birthday if I get the time. :)

If I see a movie I don't know anything about, but the premise looks interesting, I'll check its Rotten Tomato meter rating. If it's over 75%, then I'll see it. If it's 60-75%, I'll scrutinize the reviews more closely, but if it's below 60% I generally don't bother.

Gotta sit back row centre for IMAX, even if it means booking 5 weeks in advance. Anal. The problem with that is that you have to dodge all the discussion and spoilers and reviews.

Prefer to watch epic marathons but harder to find the time. Plus the neighbours might complain with shoots-outs blaring at 3:00AM.
