    Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring.

    Opening night, midnight screening, it was amazing. When the opening voice over started, a hush fell over the theater so solemn you’d have thought some sacred deity had descended from upon high. At the end everyone clapped and cheered. I think I even high-fived some random theater goer outside we were all so jazzed

      When Aragon kills the Urakai leader in FOR the audience cheered, which I found weird. Then when the film ended there was a collective awww.

        oh yeah I think my audience did that too! after the initial shock of seeing him drag Aragorn closer by impaling himself further on his sword was so terrifying, that the beheading that followed was almost like a “Indiana Jones just shoots the crazy swordsman guy” moment
