Unless it is some chic flick my wife wants to see or something my kids want to see, I go to the movies by myself quite frequently. My wife can't sit still for a two hour movie and gets annoying. The kids aren't bad but of course they end up needing to go to the bathroom nearly every time or want to ask questions about the movie. If I go by myself it is cheaper, more food for me, and peace and quiet to take everything in.
The rare occasion I like to enjoy is when the wife and kids go out of town for the weekend. I can watch sports uninterrupted, get whatever I want to eat, and crank up the surround sound system while watching movies and gaming.
