Most have already been mentioned, but wanted to chime in since we just went to a movie on Saturday...
1) Food & ticket prices
2) Cell phone screens flipping open below me (even if it's silent)... what Gilda said.
3) My dad's ongoing commentary (out loud!!) the whole movie... even when I've shushed him and gotten pissed off. He just can't stay quiet when he goes with someone else to the movies.
4) Anyone around me chewing audibly. Popcorn is notorious.
And, the most annoying movie behavior actually happens in Iceland. Thank god they don't do it here in the US:
5) At exactly the halfway point of the movie, the film stops and the lights turn on for a 15 minute intermission. FIFTEEN MINUTES. No joke. It doesn't matter how tense the scene is, or how short the movie is. Icelanders want their intermission. The one good side is that everyone gets up at the same time to get more food, go to the bathroom, talk on cell phones, etc. But I think there is a much greater downside of INTERRUPTING THE DAMN MOVIE. Directors don't plan for an effing intermission when they make a movie, duh... (not even Icelandic directors!) so it's ALWAYS jarring to me. Hella annoying.
