Here is the cutting in line thing:

IF you are going to sit with the people wanting to cut while watching the movie, and they just showed up later than you did, than letting them cut up ahead with you is fine. I wouldn't go more than a 1:1 ratio on this one. Or, if children are involved, a 1:2 ratio.

IF you arrived all together, and one person secures a place in line while others are getting food and drink, this is fine as well. I wouldn't reccomend a family of over 4 for this one, though.

IF you see someone you know, but didn't go together, and don't plan on sitting next to them anyhow, forget it.

ALSO- this is the part that most people forget- If someone let you cut and stand next to them in line, that does not give you the right to as well. For every position in line, there is a one-cut rule. If you are the cutter, you have no privledges.

We go to a lot of movies that have lines, so we think these things out.

And on saving seats- there is a 1:2 ratio if no one has arrived yet. However, once you get seated, you can save an infinite number of seats- i.e. someone goes to get snacks. And an item of more than $10 in value should be used to save the seat- otherwise you end up having tic-tacs used to save a seat.
