What are the worst experiences you've ever had in the movie theatre?

I went to a free screening of DOFP and they confiscated our cellphones before entering so no one would be recording. Well about an hour into the movie, there's yelling from a woman two rows down because she's mad some lady tapped her shoulder. I'm pissed because I'm missing out on dialogue between Logan and young Charles, and at the same time trying to figure out what all the commotion is. So the lady that tapped her shoulder gets up and talks to a man in the corner of the theater who I assumed was the theater manager. Turns out the yelling woman got a phone in and was recording the movie, so she was asked to leave. Before leaving, she yells about how she has no problem leaving but she doesn't want anyone touching her, then storms out.

Rest of the time there was great, though.

I remember sitting through 'Reds' with Warren Beatty when I was too young to really understand it. I think it was the most bored I've ever been at a movie.

Two come to mind.

1. Having to sit through The Last Airbender. As a huge fan of the TV show, it was agonizing watching it be so horribly butchered. But my "no walk-out rule" wouldn't let me leave no matter how much I really wanted to.

2. During one of my times seeing The Avengers, there were these three or four little kids who kept running around the theatre and yelling. They did this throughout the entire movie.
