...and I do enjoy the communal experience of being in an audience as well, especially with a knowledgable audience.
However, I don't truly need others - a solo viewing is fine for most movies. If no one wants to go with me, I simply go to the flicks alone and do so about 20+ times a year. Frankly, I'd rather go alone to a foreign or art film than drag along a friend for whom it would be a struggle to endure such a cinematic adventure.
I find I do enjoy the comedic movie "experience" more with others, however. Seeing Death At A funeral in Chicago last fall was great fun because evrybody in the audience was so obviously tickled with what was up on the screen. Laughter is contageous to a degree and people were screaming by the end.
I can, of course, laugh alone if need be. But I'd rather not.
