I'm surprised nobody's mentioned that ever-growing segment of the movie-going population who not only leave their ringers on, but answer and converse LOUDLY during the movie. That's high on my list.
Also up there are these trailer- or ghetto-trash parents who bring their infants/toddlers/small children to R-rated movies. The kids invariably talk, yell, cry, run around, and generally make a nuisance of themselves.
In the town where I grew up, an enlightened theater chain began a policy that would not allow parents to bring children under a certain age (six, I think) into PG-13 or R-rated movies starting after 6PM. I'm not a bit surprised that this isn't a more widely practiced policy, as most theaters couldn't bear the loss of $50 or so by turning away such a client.

where i went you buy a mediem popcorn and regular coke for bout $6.40 ($3.20ish US), the drink was that "powdered add water stuff" which was weak, but the popcorn was decent, lasted about half hour, which was pretty good.
and yeah, i make sure my mobile phones not on, not even silent, they're still annoying as **** going off. have you seen people throwing popcorn and shit at the screen. i want to hurt them

Yup I can all be dead annoying sometimes and it makes me sick, but one thing I really hate is stupit girls SCREAMING!!!! all the time, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA OMG did he kill him? AAAAAAAAAAAAAA NO DON'T DO THAT AAAAAAAAAAAAaaaa, the whole movie.....
I haven't had any problems, I normally go to the cinema on a wednesday and thursday when there isn't a lot of people.
I have heard people in a queue line talking about films and when they mention something which isn't right I want to correct them but don't lol.
Normally lucky, went to see Dawn of the Dead remake and there were a bunch of people at the preview screening who started talking to me about the movie and Romero's movies, and they knew what they were talking about.
the prices at cinemas are incredibly high....i heard that the popcorn and drinks only cost a few pence to make...but they sell it to the public for about 3-4 pounds!

Re: the one thing i hate about going to see horror movies...
Have you ever considered decaffe? I work in an art centre which also doubles as a cinema, I hate most multiplex cinemas for the reasons metioned in this thread but the place where I work is a good place to watch a film for several reasons: 1) The screens are fully licenced so you can take alchohol in. 2) There are very rarely any kids in the building. 3) It shows all kinds of classic, including some decnt horror like Halloween, Texas Chainsaw (original) and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. 4) Its a very nice building, not a dirty shithole like most comercial cinemas. - Thats all I can think of right now, but art house cinemas are definately the way forward.

I wish we had that kind of cinema whare I live I've never seen any of the great horrors from the 80's on the big screen, they mostly just show stupit stuff, like cheap ass vin dieasel action shit and stuff like that, and everutime they show a big picture like, LOTR or Troy aso, it costs 15$ for 1 ticket
its about that here, i went in with concesion and got a cheap ticket. it costs around $20 for a ticket and popcorn in Aus. and we dont have many arthouse cinemas (well i've not been able to find them)

I never bother buying concessions at the cinema. I either eat before I go, or just slip something in. In all honesty, I don't eat there out of respect for the other movie lovers. If only all cinema snacks were in PLASTIC baggies, even popcorn, it would be so much quieter.
yeah, i normally take something. but popcorn is the ultimate movie snack really, with a cola, pure brilliance. completes the movie going experiance for me
