Do You Like Watching Movies Alone Or In The Company Of Someone

Hi people... Movies are for everyone to watch.. There are horror movies, romantic movies, action flicks and a whole lotta more.. But it depends on person to person, whether he/ she likes watching movies alone or with someone... So, tell me guys and gals, how do you prefer watching movies?? Alone by yourself or in the company of someone?? And here someone can be anybody from your friends, spouse, or family... I always like watching movies in the company of someone.. Sometimes I go out with my family, sometimes with my friends when going out for some comedy or action flick, but most of the time with my girlfriend for watching romantic movies or even family movies...

responses and comments:



I like watching movie with someone. Specially my mom. She gives quotes at good and bad scenes. Her laughter is great. She knows each and every actress's by face, which I think very diffficlut in bollywood. [sanuanu]

i personally like to watch some movies by myself . if they are funny i like compant like my hubby , if is a love show i perfer to be alone so i can pay attention , a sad one i wanna be alone... [mandytaylor48]


I don't mind either way. I like watching comedies with someone, for sure - but other than that, I can take company, or leave company. Company just ends up making noise, so I don't get bothered at all if I watch alone. [aero89]

Depends. If it's what my husband calls "Chick Flicks" then yes I like watching them by myself. If I were to watch it with him I just know he would make comments throughout the whole movie. Aside from that then no I don't mind watching movies with other people. [photographygirl73]


If watching movies at the movie house, i prefer to be with the company of my friends. It's good to share your laughter, thrill or tears with them especially share a bucket of popcorn with them while enjoying the movie. lol If watching movies at home like on the movie channels or dvd players, i can watch it alone. happy [rrowenaa]

When I am watching movies in my own house I prefer to watch them alone. Because beeing at home can be full of distractions and people tend to talk and try to make conversation and they distracts me from the movie. I like to be by myself at home so I can turn off the lights, eat some popcorn, and focus all of my attention on the movie. On the other hand, when I go to the movie theater I think that it is more fun to bring someone with you. There you can enjoy the movie and buy really good popcorn to share. And you can also split the cost because movies can be really expensive at the theater, especially at night. Also, some people might think that you are a dork if you go to the movies by yourself, but I guess after they turn the lights down then it doesn't really matter. [kkthom3]

I watch movies in the company of others, because going to the movies alone really sucks for me. Not really an insecurity, but who do you laugh with or share your immediate reviews? The more the merrier! Love it :) [madeline_sandwicke]

that's funny, I stumbled upon this discussion while watching a movie alone on my couch, thinking of how depressing it is. It may just be the Sunday afternoon blues, but I think I would prefer to be watching with someone else! [theweerouss]

I usually enjoy watching movies with other people. I usually watch with my girlfriend or my family. Occasionally, I would go out with some of my friends and we would watch a movie. I think it's more fun to watch a movie with someone that it is to watch alone. [migsmartinez]

It depends. Sometimes I will watch a movie with someone. Other times, I'm more in the mood to watch something on my own. [dodo19]

The gerne of the movie decides which way I'm going to watch it. I'd like to watch comedy/action/sci-fi/adventure/romantic movies with the company of others, Horror/tragedy are the type of movie that I prefer watch alone.I think I am fond of feeling the horror/sadness alone. [iamcucu]

Well I love watching it with someone because at least I could ask or at least talk about something about the movie. Anything from useless trivia about it or wrong interpretations etc. [magojordan]
yep, i agree with you...i like to ask some things that bothers me.. and i ask if "that certain situation are for real, what are we going to do?" [donnakristel]


i don't like watching movies alone... because i like to ask questions in relation to the movie,.hehehe.. [donnakristel]

well sometimes i see movies alone, but some other times i see it with company like friends or family!! at home..... lol or sometimes with my lot!!! well have a nice day and a good week ;) see you soon and bye bye. [theembittered]

At the theator, I like to be in the company of others. I have never gone alone before. I'd rather go with someone I dont like than by myself. At home I also like to watch movies with others, especially if it is one I've never seen before. Cuz then I have noone to share the interesting parts with. I just end up kinda talking to myself like oh my gosh!! That was so cool! etc. [_sketch_]

I mostly like to watch movies in the company of someone else, usually my husband. Although, there are times when I watch the movies by myself. [CRSunrise]

Depends on the type of film, and the type of people who are interested in the particular film. I would bring some one who arent a fan of the film, just to accompany me . Definately an interested one, but never watch movies with my family, cause its weird .. but most of the time i watch with my friends , i do watch films myself if there is no one to go with , its still ok, i guess not that you would feel lonely but its after the film then you'll feel lonely because usually after a movie my freinds and i will go have so fun or go tea or lunch . [dearlot]

recently i went to a movie theater alone , it was alright for me because it was almost as if i was home alone watching a DVD , but i think going with a group of people is better cause they can come in on a conversation , or well as the audience your with to comment along the flim [Gesusdid]

i wnat to watched movie with someone or in a group so that i have someone to talked with. [becnh83]

i do watch movies with my family movies like comedy, sometimes friends if its love story and movies that i don't want to watch to with my husband of course like horror. i always tell my family members that don't watch alone. you have to be careful. you can't trust strangers around you. so, i always remind them if they want to watch or hang out in a mall any where else, they should ask somebody to accompany them..... [mces0925]

hi there Lifeless! for me, it depends on the type of movie being shown. if it's a romantic movie, i'd like to watch it with my date, or closest friends. if it's a sci-fi movie, i like watching it alone. if friends wanna tag along, then it's also okay for me. for horror movies, i either not go with my friends, or watch it with my friends who insist that i come watch with them. haha. thanks and more power to you! [mazdakid]

I don't like watch movies alone. I hope to watch movies with my friends.Because I hope I can laugh together and share the movies together. [picotee109]

I like watching movies in the company of someone. especially with my lovely family. Moreover, if the movie that i was watching is horror movie. Definitely, i need someone beside me, hehehe [chasmom]

Ever since DVD players have become too popular, I've refrained from going to the movies. But when I was still in college and went to the movies to kill time, I usually convince some friends to go with me. This reminds me of my friend Keziah Reje. There was never a time when I asked her to go watch a movie with me and she refused. She was always a Go!Go!Go! girl. So yeah, I like watching movies in the company of a friend. As for watching DVD at home, I prefer to be alone up in my room. Privacy, I guess. [dianavarro]

It depands on what kind of movie. Usually I like a company to watch with me. But if I know the movie gonna be sad and will makes me cry, then I choose to watch it alone. I just dont like watching sad movie, cry, and knowing that anyone can see me crying. Well the thing is, I just dont want people to see me cry. hehe... [julise]

I love movies especially the horror flicks! I tend to watch movies alone, I guess I like to enter my own world and escape for a short period of time! Horror movies do that for me! When others are around I guess I don't concentrate as much. I guess it's nice to share a movie with friends though as you can pass the crisps around as well as the can of coke! Andrew [AndrewFreyne]

its very difficult for me to watch a movie alone. I hate that. As much as possible i try to find one company, if i like to watch it in theater. Some time i feel bored and I watch movies alone in my personnel system. [Manojknair]

i like watching movies with my friends ,i think with my friends i can feel comfortable,and we can chat ,share our feelings about the movie and so on~~ i also like watching movies alone in my home in midnight.i think in midnight i could feel sincerly. [septemberxue]

At the theater I prefer to watch with someone else. I have gone to the movies by myself and have no problem, but I prefer to have company. At home I am ok watching a movie by myself. [msmargo]

Hello.....I like to watch movies with my husband if its going out to the cinema. If watching movie at home, I also like to watch with him or by myself is okay. but going to the cinema by myself ....no way. [eagle_f15]

I would want to watch in a company of a friend only if i am watching it in a movie hall. otherwise if i am watching it at home, i would prefer to watch alne. There should be no one interrupting in between the movie otherwise my mood gets off and i dont enjoy the movie to the fullest I love to watch horror and suspense movies at home alone. I dont get too scared though but i love to watch them. Some movies which have alot of suspense in it. I saw Quarentine last time in a movie hall and the suspense in it was amazing. There was a scene in which all the people in the cinema jumped up their seats. That was really a good scene full of suspense. I love these kinds of movies rather than romantic and action movies. [rizzu87]

It depends. If I'm just watching it for fun, I might take someone along, but when I'm watching a movie for the sake of writing a review later on, I always make it a point to go alone so I can objectively look at the merits of the movie for my review. [SeishiroX]

Well i like to watch movies with my families and not alone. [kheealam]

If its a horror movie I like watching it with someone because I tend to get scared! I'm a big wimp lol, but all other movies I prefer to watch alone because then I get a bit of peace and quiet to enjoy the film. [foxylady84]

I want to watch movies with friends. Especially when the movies we are to watch is funny. We can laugh. I really love watching funny movies also adventure movies. I want to share with them what's the drama about that movies I'd like to watch. It's really great bonding moment when you are with your friends. Go girls. Come and invite your girl friends. Happy hour with our discussions. Smile. [ShanLhey]

I prefer to watch movies alone. Because it is hard to focus on the movie when there are lot of other people around me, making some comments about movie, standing up and going out of the room, asking: "Hey, who is thirsty? I was going to take a bottle of water, how many of You would like one as well?". When I watch movies alone, I can escape embarrassing moments. Besides it is only me who decides which movie I am going to watch: I don`t have to ask for the agreement. [liisafiat]

I am the type that wanted to watch movies with other people ranging from my friends, parents and any of my family members. It just that I found it to be more fun watching movies with people I know. I have several movies, but I have never watch it myself. :) [Rexdoron]

i prefer to watch movies with someone else. i like to watch most movies with my son becasue it gives us time to spend together. we go to the movies or borrow them from the library in the summer months or watch them at home on free on demand or whenever they are on network tv. we love to watch movies. it is always more fun when you have someone to share things with. [mikeysmom]

Hi , I do like watching Movies only in company of someone else ;especially the Movies in a Theater . [sweety_81]

I go both ways on this. I love to watch movies by myself, and in the company of friends and family. I just enjoy watching movies, so it really doesn't matter to me if there's someone else there to watch with me. [JCanham]

hi lifelesshappy, i like watching movies movie with my friends when i go to theatre and when im at home i like watching alone..lol [hitejam89]

I used to like cuddling on the couch and watching a movie or something like that, or when there is a new movie that no one knows and every want's to watch. I hate watching movies with people that feel like they hve to explain everything to you or those people who ask you dumb questions every 5 mins. sometimes your not supposed to know what something means strait away. Yeah i would have to agree that it depends on the person and their attention span and tastes in movies. [dont_pick_your_nose]

Mostly i like to watch movies on historical personalities and facts and off beat movies. For the first my kids remain with me and for the other type my wife gives me company. I just cannot enjoy movies alone because there is no one to share the good things and with none can i discuss it later. happy mylotting [arkadeb313]

Considering how hard it is for me to concentrate on anything, I should prefer to watch movies alone. However, I'd rather watch movies with someone. I am one of those horrible people who has to ask "DID YOU SEE THAT?" when something exciting happens on the screen. I guess the real question woudl be, do people prefer to watch movies with or without me. LOL. [hisbabydoll]

I prefer to watch movies with other people even though their every move distracts me from the movie. Foot wiggling, popcorn crunching, argh!! However, I need someone with me so I have someone to ask "DID YOU SEE THAT" when something exciting happens on screen. I'm told it's rather annoying. I guess a better question would be, do people like watching movies alone instead of with me. LOL. [hisbabydoll]

I don't mind either. I mean it's nice to watch with people but it depends on the people. Some people talk over films :( So I also like watching alone, it doesn't bother me. I always get into it anyway so don't notice anyone else goodluck [Jakker27]

I world like to watch movie in my own even if its horror. I like horror movies but i would prefer action and comedy movies. Like the Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's Rush Hour(all movies) which has comedy and action. When iam with people they talk too much(kind of) and thats annoying(iam not talking about people laughing but talking). [Mathurankan]

hi everyone i prefer waching movie in the company of others because when watching a movie i love analising movies and i like sharing lesson i lerent and relating the movie to real live event.in the company of others is difficult to go offtrack. [paulmarty4real]

weill i never liked or even thought of watching any movie alone.... but if i feel that the movie i would want to watch isnt what my friends would be too interested in then i think i would opt to watch it alone but thats the only time i think i would ever think of doing that..... its a lot more fun to watch it with friends and enjoy it with other people rather than watch it alone and laugh or cry all alone..... but there are times when i am alone at home and basically getting bored or something and then that would obviously need to be watched alone or with the house ghost... :P [shonali]

it depends on what kind of movie it is with me. i prefer to watch horror movies on my own in the dark as i think that makes them more scary. i like to comedys with my mates so we can all have a good laugh together. and i like to snuggle up to my boyfriend and watch romantic movies. happy mylotting [lou_66]

I will prefer to watch movie with a group of friends and it will be great if we are watching comedy together, where everyone can laugh out loud. I do not enjoy going out alone, therefore, I will never watch movie alone. I do not like watching horror shows as I fear most of the scary and disgusting things. For my country, the movies are rated PG (parent guidance), NC16 (above 16), M18 ( above 18) and R21( above 21). I am wondering if other countries rate their movies? [wet_apple]

I like watching movies with someone else but alot of times i'll watch them myself. Mainly because I don't have someone interrupting me in between the movie if its one I really want to watch. But its also fun to watch movies with your bf tho. I don't do that very often as mine doesnt like half the movies I do so I watch them myself while he's watching sports. Go Figure! [Blondie2222]

Oh I love watching romantic movies I prefer watching at home though usually alone because then only I can concentrate each event happens in the movies.so it there are parts and can back and watch it again.Comedy or action films I usually watch them at home when it's daytime...or with all lights on and with friends lalalala.... [HOW2DO]

I always watch movies in the company of my wife when i am in for a romantic movies and my daughters are along when we are watching some family movie. Before marriage too i would go to watch movies with my friends and classmates. I cant recall any movie which i went to watch alone. [ramanjain]

depends someteims i wanna chill out and then i watch alone and soemtiems i wanna have fun adn then i call up my crew and thn we sit down adn have fun happy lotting and have a nice day! [thecrazyjogger]

Well, for the most part I really would rather watch a movie with someone else. Especially when it is a Scary movie for sure. I know a lot of the time, I will just grab my husbands attention sometimes and say "It is time for a Movie," and then we put in a movie and pop some Popcorn and sit and enjoy the movie together. Even when I go and rent a movie it usually has to be something that we think we will both enjoy together as well. [KrauseHome]

it depends. I like watching girly movies by myself just in case its one of those crying movies. So I can cry by myself. If its a funny movie or a family movie I like watching it with my family but I don't have to. If its a scarey movie I have to have someone watch it with me lol. [mflower2053]

I like watching a movie with my husband, anyone else bugs me! They either talk during the whole thing or tell me the end or have a running commentary on what they think will happen next. My husband and i like the same types of movies so there is never a conflict as to what type of movie we will watch so we're both always satisfied with our choice. [sagesunicorn]

I prefer seeing it with someone so I have someone to discuss it with afterwords. Plus, its always good to have someone to share moments with, right? :) [woolyshamblers]

Me? well it will depend on the type of movie that I'm going to watch, like for comedy of course I'd like to watch with my friends or family because laughing together with them adds more fun while watching... [cyrusgb03]

If I'm going to an actual movie theater I prefer someone else to be with me. I think it is more fun. But if I'm watching a movie at my own home then sometimes I prefer to watch it alone. It seems when a movie is watched in the privacy of one's own home, people tend to talk more during the movie than they would in a theater. I don't mind company at home to watch a movie, but I also like to watch them by myself. [AmbiePam]

Well ... I do like to watch movies with hubby and kids, but the thing is I also like to watch them alone. Usually we watch movies together, but often after everyone is asleep and I know that there is a good movie I enjoy watching it by myself. I don't go out to the movies. I always come out of the movie theater with a headache, so basically we just rent or watch movies that are aired on tv. It's not to hard to wait for them to come out on DVD and I don't get a headache if I watch them at home. Maybe the big screen doesn't work with me, or maybe the ac that is always on doesn't. I am not much a fan of romantic movies or big dramas. My favorites are comedy - tasteful preferably - action and thrillers. [arkaf61]

For me, it all depends on what kind of movie it is. If it's an action or drama movie I would watch it with my husband. If it's a animated Disney movie (which I love), I will watch it by myself because my hubby doesn't like those kind of movies. [cortney09]

It is hard for me to get myself to watch a movie or even TV when I am alone. So, I watch mainly with my partner. [UtopianIdealist]

I like to watch any movie with my family only. [suruchi86]

If I'm at home it doesn't matter if I'm alone or with people, sometimes i prefer to watch some movies by myself, so I can catch the details. At movie theaters I have to have people with me. [tinam13]

I love watching movies of some one especially my husband.Although it's not horror movies.I think,company of some one is too nice.Because,i can tell my comment and discuss about the movie.Sometime,My husband and I bet on about the ending.It's fun actifity. [Zhizho]

i prefer to watch movies alone, because watching with other people can be pretty distracting. However, i prefer to have a friend with whom i can discuss movies we have both seen. [flourishingflorida]
