If they were directly infront of you, kick their seats. They will soon shut up.

Last time me and DH went to the flicks, we sat all nice and comfy in ours seats, there were hardly anybody else in and some teenage scroats sat behind us and one decided to kick the back of my seat.
I asked him to give up, which he stopped for all of 5 mins, then it started again. DH then turned around and told him to give up. Next thing a manager turned up and turfed the kid out :j. I don't know if they watch people on cctv, but I was grateful that he turned up.

I have to mention though that I once saw a cracking Judge Judy once on cinema behaviour. A cranky man in his 50's was suing a lady for assaulting him during a film. Turned out him and his friend turned up late (as the opening credits were starting) they sat in the seats in front of her and they were both chatting. The lady asked them to please be quiet - and the fella called her a b***h!!! her response? she tipped one of those giant cola cups all over his head :rotfl:It cost her $400 because his eye got an infection, but she couldn't stop giggling as she described what she did, it was rather comical. Judge Judy gave the guy a right rollocking too for being so rude. I have to admit if the cost of the pop in the pictures wasn't so high, there would have been times I would have been tempted to do the same thing lol.

I can remember years ago going to see an early screening of The Blair Witch project, it was half term and the audience consisted mainly of young teenagers.

They were pretty well behaved throughout the film, but as the credits rolled and a temporary hush had descended a single resonate voice came from the back,

"Is that it"?

Like others have said, the constant rustling of crisp packets and sweet wrappers drives me mental. I mean why the !!!! sell packs of sweets and chocolates with the noisiest packets there possibly is! Clearly they couldnt just get rid as they need the money especially this day in age with cinema goers dwindling but at least dont sell stuff that will obviously !!!! the rest of the audience off!!

Cinemas also seem to be a hang out for mates to have a chat about their week, its the mentality of the young nowadays. They just dont give a !!!!! i mean why go and sit in a quiet room if you want a chat with your mates?? I give up with the current younger generation as they are all an utter waste of time. The funny thing is i am not some old geezer, im only 32!

I avoid cinemas at all costs now and enjoy movies in my own house with beer on tap and even the screen is not as big as the cinemas, it is a hell of a lot better quality as HD in cinemas sucks!

Thankfully I have lots of free time and can go to the cinema at unpopular times. The first showing of the day on a weekday (not Wednesday) is usually very quiet. I was the only person in the theatre when I went to see We Need to Talk about Kevin. Seems like most people don't have an appetite for films about violent sociopaths at 9am!

When I went to that film I had a couple in their sixties near me nattering all the way through.

I eventually cracked and told them to shut it when during the final scenes of the film they starting giggling to each other louder and louder. Couldn't believe it considering the nature of the film. They completely ruined the ending for me.

I was flabbergasted too that at 25 I was having to tell people the same age as my parents to shut up.

I ask people nicely once but if they carry on I unleash my inner hell !!!!!.

I can't believe how irritating some people are, but I suspect I was just as bad as a teenager as you just so self-centred all the time. we took two of OH's family teenagers to see Mission impossible over Christmas, god I wanted to kill them but didn't feel able to say anything. One screamed, squealed, giggled and made a noise every time anything happened on screen, combined with wriggling about, grabbing my arm at one point, and practically climbing into the other teens (also a girl) lap at 'scary' bits. I think she must believe this behaviour is 'cute and girly' but it's just moronic. The other had to give a spoken commentary of everything that happened. they both sat there slowly slurping through one of those ice drinks including the really really noisy nasty bit at the end when there's nothing much left and they went on and on and on slurp slurp slurp for about another 30 minutes.
Selfish little cows.

A friend of mine had some noisy chatterers throughout a film he saw in the cinema, despite sshing etc, nothing. So at the end of the film they got up to leave, they had to pass him (same row) and he refused, saying that they'd disturbed his evening so he'd disturb theirs - for a little bit at least.
They pepper sprayed him in the face (or cs, whatever). He rushed to the bathroom to wash his face, had put his bag down next to him at the sink, and one of them pinched it while he was doing that.
That's one reason I don't go - I can't understand why people would spend so much money to be a-holes for 2.5 hours, when they could do that for free somewhere else.

I only really go to the cinema to take the kids, and also make a point of going only on Saturday/Sunday morning it is sparsely populated. We also sit on the very front row knowing that we'll likely be well away from most others.

Did have an incident about 3 years when 2 girls (about 12 years old) came in half way through and squeezed themselves into the same seat in front of me, chatting & playing on their mobile. They obviously hadn't paid for the film; rather it was just a convenient place to sit. They quietened down when I told them to shut up, but it was still distracting with the illumination of their phone. After kicking their seat for a few seconds, they took the hint and went out!

We went to see it in France and one of the most tense parts of the film was ruined by a man whose mobile phone rang. He insisted on answering it and carried on a loud conversation. In the midst of this he was angrily shouting at the people who told him to shhhhh that he had to take the call as it was from his daughter in New York and he'd been expecting it!
