The Golden Rules of Moviegoing

Silence is Golden

• No Talking: This should be obvious, but constant chatter is a major distraction. Save the commentary for after the film.
• Phone Silence: Not just silent mode, but no screen time during the movie. The bright light is incredibly disruptive.

Respect Personal Space

• Kick-Free Zone: Avoid kicking the seats in front of you. It’s jarring and annoying.
• Armrest Etiquette: Establish armrest boundaries early to avoid awkward mid-movie battles.

Minimize Disturbances

• Snack Quietly: Crinkling wrappers and loud chewing are surprisingly distracting in a quiet theater.
• Arrive On Time: If you must enter late, do so as quietly and discreetly as possible. Try to sit in the back row.

Why Follow These Rules?

Following these movie rules isn't just about being polite; it’s about respecting the shared experience. Movies are immersive, and distractions pull everyone out of the story. By adhering to these guidelines, you contribute to a better atmosphere for everyone. — The Rich Man And Lazarus: A Timeless Parable
