It appeals to me because after a powerful play, in the throes of the internal emotional aftermath, my reaction needs to bathe in silence and unfold for a while. Company generally precludes this very sacred state of being. Movies have a similar effect in different proportions.

Also, I like to feel free to cry during plays and movies, which I confess is easier sitting among strangers or alone than in familiar company. Generally.

Am I wrong?
No, Walter, you're just an *******.
I agree with this.

I enjoy watching movies alone and watching movies with company, but they really are very different experiences. For me, at least. One is just about the movie, and one is about the outing.

Although I admit, I don't think I would ever go to a movie theater alone. When I watch movies alone, it's usually online.
