Craziest Experiences at the Movie Theatre

This is a third-party story, but it's so good I have to post it anyway.

Back when my now-wife was in college, she and her roommate took a film class for an elective, to have some fun with it.  They showed Mulholland Drive, and I had already made my now-wife watch it so she knew that the Guy Behind Winkie's was coming.  And she knew that her roommate didn't.  So there they were, in a lecture hall with like 200 people, and my now-wife looks away right before The Scene, and happens to look over at her roommate.

When the Guy Behind Winkie's jumps out from behind the wall, the roommate jumps a foot out of her seat and lets out this bloodcurdling scream, like Ms. Scarlet from Clue.  She then had to sit there for the next 2 hours (because that's one of the first scenes in the movie) with the other 200 people all judging her and wondering when she was going to jump up and start screaming again.  I love this story.

How about movies that malfunctioned?  I can't recall the movie but we got about five minutes in and the movie stopped.  We ended up getting vouchers for a future showing.

This happened to us when we went to see Halloween H20.  I was not excited about seeing it, and right at the beginning when the first person is about to get waxed, the projector breaks and the film starts melting.  They had to give us vouchers and send us out.  I was thrilled.

Superman Returns
A girl giving a blowjob to her boyfriend,I was on vacation in Kentucky.


Casino Royale
The f**king reel decided to break right as the house starts sinking near the end of movie...so I was missed out on a good bit of fighting and Bond trying to save Vesper. When the movie came back up she was dead and Bond is weeping like a little girl.

The Hangover
The dialogue was inaudible beyond belief then they cranked it up "WAY TOO f**kING LOUD!"

Charlie Wilson's War
my father kept griping about how boring it was and left the theater. He also complained about Paranormal Activity and The Informant.

Good Burger
At an old mom & pop movie theater that is now closed, during the trailers the power went out for awhile and the dumbass attendants waved flashlights around like they were having seizures.

Rocky IV broke down for about 30 minutes.  We sat and waited because my buddy's mom wasn't there yet to pick us up yet.  Eventually they got it going again and we still all cheered at the end when Rocky won.  And oh yeah, my buddy's mom was really p**sed because she had to wait 30 minutes for us to get out of the theatre.
