I don't have a problem going to the movies alone, and I don't find it all that weird. I can be incredibly antisocial and introspecitve sometimes, and going to the movies is a nice way to get out an dhave time by yourself.
HOWEVER, I prefer to drag my boyfriend because he's my best friend, brilliant, and defintely enjoys movie discussions (whether the movie's a guilty pleasure movie or something considered High Art). Most of my friends don't have the same movie taste as I do, so I don't generally go with them... And I know I've ranted about it before, but I HATE going to the movies with my boyfriend's family.
But I LOVE going to the movies with my own mother. I heart my mother. :)
I LOVE popcorn at the movies. And loooooots of fake butter (I know - SO good for you). Soda over water (need that caffeine to make sure that I don't droop away... That IS, however, ONLY if I feel like shelling out the cash. Snackage is SO expensive at the movies that I'll prefer to save my money for either lunch before or dinner afterwards (but I still relish greasey salty popcorn at the pictures).
My big problem with going to the movies: PEOPLE. I cannot STAND it when people talk through movies. And I'm starting to get more sensitive to it than ever before, which definitely takes away from the actual enjoyment of it.
