This was back in 1992 when there was literally only one multi-screen multiplex in the country -- it had 10 screens -- whilst the rest were all retrofitted large cinemas that had split off their circle seats as a smaller theater, making for two screens at each location.
One incident I remember involving the same multiplex: my boss and I had been involved in arguing an important case (for the clients, anyway), and had been preparing for it for a while, working on weekends etc. It was fixed for 3 days' arguments, of which the parties used two and the judge told us to stay on standby on the third day and if he needed anything his staff would call our offices by noon. Noon came and went, so my boss told me to take the rest of the day off. By then, Unforgiven had been on release for a few weeks and I hadn't been able to catch it (due to work), and it was down to one show per day at 1.20pm and only at the multiplex which was on the other side of the country (which sounds far but in our context just means the other side of town...
I know what you mean, everyone is watching the emotional scene near the end of the movie involving Leo when a teenage girl in the audience suddely bursts into tears and runs out of the theater. The moment was rather ruined by the fact that everyone started laughing.Originally Posted by Inspector Hammer!

Nothing else will ever come close to that experience again.
To be sitting in a packed theater and have every person en-mass be moved beyond words is something that truly comes along once in a lifetime.
