What was the last movie you saw in the theater, and when was it?

[Yavin4]

For me, Parasite back in February.

[CottonBear]

1. Wonder Woman, whenever that was in theaters.

[angstlessk]

With my son.

At least the last one I remember.

[Zoonart]

8. Jo-Jo Rabbit- January

[muntrv]

9. Rise Of Skywalker back in January.

[FirstLight]

10. It's been like a year I think?

I do remember my last music concert, it was a week before shutdown in March... Nahko and Medicine for the People.

[klook]

11. Might have been "Parasite" for me as well.

I honestly can't remember, but I did see that in a theater, and that was toward the end of the Before Times, so that's as good a guess as any.

My wife and I normally see movies on the big screen at least a couple of times a month. Looking forward to resuming that -- hope our favorite theaters don't go under.

[Blue Owl]

12. Knives Out, about a year ago

[rickford66]

26. Great movie I saw a day or so before the shelter in place in NY

[rurallib]

35. petty sure that was the movie

Before Christmas last year I think.

[Mme. Defarge]

On March 1st.

[kimbutgar]

14. Jo Jo Rabbit in February

Found the ticket stubs in my coat the other day.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

15. Ford vs. Ferrari - 11/19/19. Can't believe it's been a year!

[regnaD kciN]

16. I can't really remember...

We don't go to the theaters that much. I'm thinking it was probably the sequel to Fantastic Beasts, a couple (?) of years ago.

To be frank, that's probably one thing I don't miss from the shutdown of things during the pandemic. Unless something is a film I really want to see, I don't have a big love for traveling about half an hour away to overpay to sit through half-an-hour of coming attractions of superhero and horror movies (each played back at around 175 dB), to watch whatever it is from a sub-optimal seat, when I can just wait and watch it at home in a few months.

[blueinredohio]

17. Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. A couple years ago.

Excellent movie. Not at all what I was expecting.

[underpants]

18. I have no idea

I’m guessing Star Wars Last Jedi.

[Skittles]

19. The Invisible Man

in March of this year

[Mendocino]

20. 1917

I think it was about last January.

[mitch96]

38. Same here... Saw it in So Fla.. It was ok.. neat cinematography with the one long continuous shot.

[pnwest]

21. "Arrival" in 2016. I've been skeeved on

movie theaters since I heard they’ve become a hotbed for bedbugs, never mind Covid bugs...!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

30. Bedbugs in movie theaters?

I missed that story.

[pnwest]

33. Google "Bedbugs in movie theaters" ...

Very much eeeewwwww.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

43. Meh. Not eeeeewwww.

Seems like while they happen, they are not very common. And laundering your clothes is hugely effective.

[moonscape]

22. Frida 2002 - I think. n/t

[Aristus]

23. "1917".

It seems like I saw it back in 1917.

Will this year ever end?...

[sarge43]

27. It was released in the states in January 2020.

I remember seeing it in the fall of 2019

Memory is tricky.

[El Supremo]

24. Godzilla 2014 in 3D

[sarge43]

25. 1917, about a year ago. n/t

[2naSalit]

28. "BlacKkKlansman"

A couple years ago. A couple years before that was "Tracks" a documentary which also had Adam Driver in it though I had no idea when I went to these movies that he was in them until the movies were rolling on the screen.

I don't like movie theaters but I saw both of these at the small theater on campus at my alma mater with some old friends who were faculty when I was a student, I go back to visit on occasion.

[Cirque du So-What]

39. Hey, me too!

When I still went to theaters, I was very selective about movies I would go see. This one didn’t disappoint.

[2naSalit]

41. It was a Spike Leemovie...

That's probably why. He's a treasure, I've been a bit of a fan since "Do The Right Thing".

[Wounded Bear]

29. Don't remember. It's been 10-15 years or so...nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

31. Probably back in January, possibly December.

I can't recall the specific movie.

I love going to a real theater. I have the wonderful good fortune to live in Santa Fe, NM, where we probably have the most screens per capita anywhere in the country, possibly in the world. Let's see. A fourteen plex about a mile from me. A six plex about two miles away. A two screen art theater about five miles away. The Jean Cocteau, a sort of art theater, near downtown, but far more eclectic than that, owned by George RR Martin. You might have heard of him. Two other single screen art-house sorts of places.

I do look forward to going to a real movie theater again. I am a sucker for the popcorn. I sneak in my own bottle of water. Someday, it will happen again.

And there are just some movies that should absolutely be seen on a big screen. Unfortunately, with the younger generation watching movies on their smart phones (really, really?) and the current lack of open theaters, that will take time to recover. It won't be gone forever, but I wouldn't be surprised if we go through a few years where movies are designed very specifically to be watched on smaller screens.

[doc03]

32. Don't remember movie but it's been a couple years. The theater is always too cold and

the volume is ridiculously high. Oh when they turn the lights off I have trouble staying awake.

[Glorfindel]

34. Last Christmas Day, "The Rise of Skywalker"

in New York City. I haven't been to the movies this year, and I miss it! I won't get to go to New York for Christmas this year, either. Damn, damn, damn COVID-19!!

[mrs_p]

36. Frozen II

Back in Nov last year.

[leighbythesea2]

37. Parasite

February!

[Generic Brad]

40. The Master, 2012

My daughter was on a Joaquin Phoenix kick at the time. I did it for her.

I have been to very few movies over the past 36 years. My wife is not a native speaker and she prefers closed captioning to make sure she doesn’t miss a thing. So all our viewing is done at home.

[Marthe48]

42. I saw a movie in 2018

I went with my daughter and grand kids during their Christmas break. It was an animated movie, called Sherlock Gnomes. It was awful! But it was fun to be out with the kids. We went to a theater with recliners.

I saw A Quiet Place with my neighbor maybe right before that or right after.

[jmowreader]

44. It was quite a while ago

There was a one-time showing of Apocalypse Now in IMAX. I've seen Apocalypse Now many times, but never in a theater.

[Rhiannon12866]

45. "Gravity" - 2013

[yellowdogintexas]

46. I know we went to the movies in 2018 at Christmas when we visited our daughter

in Phoenix. It was the Spiderman - into the Spiderverse. animated.

I do not believe we have been to a theater since.
