Watching movies, that is!

Call me crazy, but I absolutely can't stand watching a movie with all of the lights out (and that's not just because I'm occasionally taking notes!). Whether or not it's better for your eyes, I really prefer having a few smaller lights on during most any film...action, comedy, doesn't matter. How about you guys?

no lights.

my TV is near my window, and I get kind of a glare/reflection which is sort of annoying

I prefer the lights on as well

I like it with a little light on... and shoes on.

Lights on

Lights off. Maybe a candle lit, so the light is soft and unintrusive.

A fire in the fireplace is also nice.

Always lights off

Lights off. The darker the better. I don't mind watching regular TV with the lights on, but I hate watching movies that way. My set up is in the basement, so no light from any windows either. The more it's like a movie theatre, the better (well, except for morons yapping on their cell phones, or idiots kicking the back of my seat, of course!)

Lights on.

I prefer a soft light.

I have an LCD projector, so it's always lights off, not necessarily by choice.

If I'm watching a tube TV, I prefer to watch comedies with lights on, and dramas and action movies with lights off. For some reason, comedies always seem funnier with the lights on.

I have to watch with the lights off because of the TV. I get a wicked glare on the TV when the lights are on, and it drives me insane.

Lights off baby! (in my living room)

But I do have a bit of light coming from my hallway.

lights off.

Absolutely no light.

I've gotten to where I can't sit down to watch a movie anymore until it's dark outside as well - too much light coming in through the windows during the day.

Like it dim, unless it's a horror, in which case I shut of all the lights turn up the volume for added effect.

The main thing is too avoid glare, or visible reflections on the screen, but in general lights off.

lights off

You folks are crazy for leaving the lights on. Light off unless it's completely dimmed to a point where it's almost all dark.

Lights off, pitch black with nothing but the movie to light your night.

Softer lights work for me. I would like to go lights off all the way, but the black level of my monitor is horrible (I watch my movie on PC), and I don't think I'm going to watch my movie with no light unless I had front projection display.

lights off and someone's hand down my pants... mine, yours, whoever...

Lights off (projector).

Lights off.

Same way here!
