Ever sneak into a movie?

2. Yes
Only once. We bought tickets for "My Cousin Vinny" and saw "Basic Instinct" instead. I think I was around 15.

3. Bought a ticket to a kids matinee and stayed for "Funeral in Berlin"
We hung out in the bathroom until they started seating the adult crowd.

4. All the time, if it's one of those megaplexes

Not so easy to get away with it at arthouses, obviously.

The last movie I sneaked into was The Passion of the Christ. I demand a refund.

edit: I did not, like other posters here, buy a ticket for one flick jst to view another. I would stalk the little exits around the building, waiting for someone to leave and seize upon the first opportunity to dash right on in. It was very thrilling, in a sad kind of way

5. I Only Do It If I've Already Paid for Another Movie
I often sneak in for a few minutes to check out another movie. Only rarely has it been the whole film.
I do, however, sneak beer into movies. Quite frequently. :evilgrin:

6. Every weekend
I go and buy my ticket for one in the afternoon and enjoy a double feature. I call it my Buy One, Get One Free program.

It totally makes up for the $5 bag of popcorn and the $4 coke.

7. Crawled through a swamp,
crawled under a barbwired fence with three friends...to get to a drive-in movie to see Bridgette Bardou's first "skin flick". I was 15.

8. I Snuck In To "2001 - A Space Odyssey" With Some Friends
When I was in high school, at the old Park Theater on the Green in Morristown, NJ. We got caught and thrown out. A few months later it was closed and torn down - that was the last time I was in that building....

9. Yes, once
I snuck in to see "The Secret Policeman's Ball" when in, I think, 7th grade. Not that they wouldn't have sold us the tickets (they would have), just that we were broke...

10. The X-rated drive-in theater...
When I was a kid, there was a drive-in that showed X-rated movies in the colder months.

Of course "The Devil In Miss Jones" was too much to resist for a 14 year old, and I snuck through the woods to the back of the theater and watched it from there...

No dialog of course, but I think I got the gist of it. :evilgrin:

16. Back when I was a kid...
yeah.

But why sneak in when when you can download review/evaluate new releases all from the comfort of your own home! (and save on the 500% mark-up on soda, Ju-Ju Bees and popcorn).

These are wonderful times we live in... ain't the Internets great?
