During attack of the clones my dad when Anakin was whining my dad said:
"For Christ's sake, act!"

After Spideman the whole audience applauded. That was brillaint.

Most annoying: While I was watching Batman Forever a little brat behind us kept whining 'BUT I WANT TO GO SEE CASPER!" Thankfully they left! Plus when watching The Lost World an annoying kid kept saying, "Where's the dinosaurs? Are the dinosaurs gonna appear?" (This was just after the film first started.) Eventually my mother had to ask the kid to quiet down

Another great audience reaction was in Jurassic Park when the T-Rex ate the lawyer on the toilet. Almost everyone laughed at that, including me.

Got a couple myself...

Best one was when I was watching "True romance". When Alabama (Patricia Arquette) manages to first knock out and later kill this huge thug, and old man from the audience stood up, raced to the corridor, clenched his fist towards the screen (meaning "You can't believe it yourselves!") and went out of the cinema.

A few months ago I went to see "Along came a spider" with some friends. When the final twist of the plot was revealed and the villains were on their expository dialohue "We did these and that and we are so evil", almost everybody in the theater went "Oh, so this was what happenned" at the same time. Very funny indeed.

Also I have find myself being the only one who was laughing. Last time it happenned during a spanish "Scream" clone. It was terrible, but damn funny, and when two of the main characters started making out in a blatant "Basic Instinct" rip off, I spent the whole scene laughing. Oh, the movie's name was "Tuno negro".

Got a couple more:

- At the opening night of "Star Wars - Episode I", all the audience started to applause and cheer while the opening fanfare and screen text appeared. That was beautiful.

- A bunch of young people arrived late at the "Sliver" session, and as they entered the dark room, one of them shouted "C'on people, stop masturbating". All the audience laughed in response.

Also, in The Lost World, when the Japanese busnessmen were running from the T-rex......we all knew what they were thinkin'! "Oh, S%#T, not agine!"

Just remembered another that sticks out. "Natural Born Killers" - the audience would laugh at the murder scenes and then realize what they were laughing at, revolt and gasp..then feel guilty. I saw people get up and leave, someone ahead of me leaned over and commented to a friend he felt like he was on acid...as he scratched his head. People genuinly looked confused. We had to take a questionaire afterward, I honestly felt the audience didn't "Get" the obvious message of the film, and the irony of what it was trying to poitn out about our society.
