What movies have you seen in the theater where the entire audience stood up and applauded at the end.

I can only remember it happening once and that was with 50 First Dates. The movie was quite good but :wtf:

People started clapping at the end of Napoleon Dynamite. Not standing ovation, but an ovation.

Some other stuff too. I don't remember.

I guess the term "standing ovation" isn't really what I mean...

The people are applauding the movie but also standing up to leave. Either way.

Traffic too.

People stood and clapped for The Matrix reloaded and revolutions. It was sorta a mix stand and clap though because you had the people like me who were not that pleased.

but

When I saw The Mummy Returns and Spiderman everyone stood up and clapped at the end of it. Those had to be the big moments.

I've never actually clapped, but I have said things once a film is over, like "now that's a good movie", "great ending, can't wait for the next" etc.

The only thing I've ever really seen of note is at the end of the pianist, first time I saw it. Everyone just sat there in silence til the end of the credits.

Only "movie" i've ever seen get a standing ovation is the Terminator 2 3-D show at Universal Studios...kinda understandable as it's a great show, and the people who run it could hear the applause...

Everyone in the theatre stood up and clapped at the end of Freddy V. Jason when they saw that Freddy was still alive.

Clapping for a movie is as retarded as talking/saying things to it. These people need to be slapped.

I've never seen someone clap in the cinema and like Destroyer if they did I'd give them a weird look.
I hate it when you get someone who has a really stuoid laugh and then everyone laughs and you can't hear the fucking film.

Here in Canada we don't applaud...even laughter isn't acceptable :shifty:. One time I was in Kentucky though and saw Independance Day and people applauded when it was over.

What movies have you seen in the theater where the entire audience stood up and applauded at the end.

Well, at the beginning of Star Wars eps 1 & 2, and the whole LOTR trilogy, we all went nuts for the opening titles. Though this was probably because we had been waiting for hours in all cases.

You guys are the real backbone of Hollywood. Without you, nobody would ever see the movies. *bows down*

Yeah it's happened to me once before but for the life of me I can't remember which movie it was where everyone did it. Might have been Titanic, can't remember cos it was back in the day. Recently though when I saw Kill Bill Vol. 2, everyone stayed in their seats through the whole credits roll at the end of the film. I'd never seen that before.

I've never seen anyone clap at the end of a film in Australia. Not even after Return Of the King.
Then again, Australians just couldn't be fucked doing anything coz we're to fucken lazy.

by the look of some of the posts on the wrestling forum, they'd probably break out into a chant at inopportune moments.
