can't say that I have ever clapped for a movie.

There was quite a bit of cheering when the dog bit it in the Lost World.

Re-release of Scarface...

Come on, man. You can't just say shit like that and not give details...

at the end of the Lord of the Rings trilogy tuesday..... of course then i heard the people crying like babies

Last time I can remember was probably the original Matrix movie.

Most absurd audience clapping moment was Batman and Robin. Yes, seriously.
Most recent one: the free screening for The Life Aquatic.

SERIOUSLY seriously?

I still, and never will, know why, but there was quite a bit of clapping after The Day After Tomorrow (I thought it was alright, but not worthy of a clap) and the one that really makes me cringe is there was clapping after The Life of David Gale when I saw it (and I hated that movie!).

Return of the King

there was applause after the Hulk but i saw it at a midnight sneak preview type thing so that's kind of expected

[QUOTE=Rivero]Well, I saw it in the middle of the day in this little budget theater that was filled with kids. Not that that excuses the applause. And I was sitting next to a couple of kids who were like, "that was a GOOD movie", without a trace of irony.

Maybe ROTK, but I'm not too sure. Other than that, I distinctly remember the audience clapping at the end of Toy Story 2.

I would have countered with booing.

Hmmm. Has anyone ever BOOED a movie?

"I was saying Boo-urns..."

No shit.

There was a lot of booing at the end of Darkman. Probably others, but I can't recall right now.

Back to applause, when I saw The Exorcist rerelease a few years back, all of the famous bits were applauded; projectile vomiting. head spinning, crucifix masturbation, etc.
