What's your proudest "I saw that movie in theaters during its original run" achievement?

My best friend and I have a thing where we don't talk about the film until we get out of the cinema. I think it's equal parts not wanting to spoil anything for people waiting to go in and giving things just a minute or two to settle and process.

We stepped through the cinema doors after Dark Knight and... Silence. We were genuinely speechless for a minute. That's never happened before or since.

I have the same rule with my daughter. We see a lot of movies on opening night, first showing. We try to be cognizant of not spoiling anything for the people in the theater.
