Have you ever applauded at the end of a movie?

OK, I want to confirm that my post above was about me personally, not the "cinema" or the "audience". I mean, I've watched lots of movies where people clapped at the end. I think the last two were WALL·E and The Dark Knight (actually my top two films of the year). I have also seen people throw sodas at the screen during the opening night of Exorcist II: The Heretic (original cut) and boo their ass off at the end of Unbreakable's opening day.

I remember I didn't (but smiled and thought it was kinda cute) how most of the theater clapped and cheered at the beginning of The Phantom Menace

I'm always embarrassed when people clap in the theatre. I mean, its not like the actor/director can receive the accolades. But I do understand being swept with emotion, so, whatever.

Have you ever applauded at the end of a movie?
No.
I don't believe I ever have.
I don't think it's my style.
I would rather snap my fingers instead like a Beatnik.

Everybody does it not all of us what to hear about you guys doing it

I've applauded at the end of movies. I've also applauded scenes within movies, like when the evil character or just some actor I don't like (Julia Roberts, Steel Magnolias) dies.

Dead Poets Society premiere and one screening in a movie theater - everyone including me were clapping and applauding at the end. Clapping in a premiere is natural but it was genuine and really long. Everyone was surprised that it was good.

Star Wars Phantom Menace premiere - everyone including me were clapping at the start during the 20th Century Fox theme being played, the Lucas Film logo being shown and the "Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away" being shown. At the end, no one was clapping. Seriously.

clapping, cheering, jeering, talkin sh*t at the screen, what's the point of going if ya don't participate??
