SuckaMC

My first moment like that was at Tremors: when Michael Gross and Reba Mcintyre killed the graboid in their basement. I remember that moment fondly.

BullGooseLoony

-Gordon's not dead - The Dark Knight
-Batman's response and action after Joker asks him if he ever told him about the scars - TDK
-The bad guy gets knocked out at the end of Moulin Rouge

Just a few off the top of my head.

-- When the truck flipped over in The Dark Knight
-- "Bond, James Bond" in Casino Royale

Sonic

The first Batman with Michael Keaton when Batman holds up the hoodlum and he says "who are you?" I'm Batman *applause* tell each and every one of your friends about me.

X-Men...when Wolverine first stuck out his claws to that dude in the bar. Everyone applauded and wowed

LickTheABCs

The last I remember was the Pencil Trick. Oh, and when RDJ reveals he's Iron Man at the end of said movie.

FinkPish

I remember the end of the Moscow car chase in Bourne Supremacy got some applause. Whether you hate the shaky-cam stuff or not, that was an incredible sequence; I literally heard people exhaling at the end of it, probably having held their breath through the whole thing.

E. Honda

People clapped when at the end of Frequency Dennis Quaid came in. And when I saw Disaster Movie, no one was clapping, because out of the half-full theater that saw it with me, they had all walked out within the first 15 minutes. I was the only one who saw the end credits.

T2. Arnold stepping onto the liquid nitrogen truck and firing into the windshield.

South Park. Bill Gates being executed.

Frenzy

From The Dark Knight:


Iron man:


The applause was quite surprising for me because in Germany the movies crowd never applaudes (festivals excluded).

The Bus

During Twilight:

• When the production company logo first came up.
  
• When the titles started
  
• Approximately every ten minutes thereafter.
  
• When it ended
  

That's the most recent.

RobCA

Most recent: Dreamgirls, after Jennifer Hudson sang "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going".

Do drive-ins count? Everybody honks their horns. Ones I remember

Superman Returns - during the airplane sequence.

Well, I would like to thank the very few people in this thread who actually used spoiler tags.

The Return of the Jedi.

When Vader finally turned good and killed the Emperor got people applausing big time when I first saw it at the theater.

Goat3001

I remember seeing that and starting to clap and maybe 3 or 4 people followed suit in a crowded theatre.

doubledown44

A lot of people clapped in the theater when I saw it.

Travis McClain

Can anyone pinpoint when audiences stopped applauding at the end of movies? Growing up, I remember always doing that. I did it as a teen, and in my early 20s. Sometime in the last decade, though, gradually, fewer people clapped with me. I was the only one in the entire theater who clapped at the end of Quantum of Solace, and despite the inevitable "That's because that movie sucked" comments, the buzz was pretty strong amongst everyone coming out of that screening.

And, to add to the list of moments, when the only sound was Yoda's cane and you knew what was coming near the end of Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.

doubledown44

It just happened gradually. People have literally become more jaded as time has gone on.

Zen Peckinpah

The Dark Knight, a.k.a. the most crowded movie I ever went to see.



Red Dragon



The Simpsons Movie



Snakes on a Plane



X-Men: The Last Stand

OldBoy

"Sin City"

Alex-W

The last one I can remember is during grindhouse


there was also a big reaction in that movie when

DeanoBKN

I remember at the end of Passion Of The Christ, the entire theatre (who were holding back tears or crying for the past hour) all clapped hands loudly.

Rypro 525

also i think one of the most recent was in Zack and Miri Make a Porno In fact, i dont think i heard a line for at least 30 or 40 seconds after that.
