    Oh I plan in advance for a night at the movies. I already know I'm either having popcorn with butter or Nachos w/cheese AND a large regular coke Possibly M&M's or junior mints on the side. I don't go often, so when I do I eat what I want.

    I do have to say that a friend put me on to dark chocolate pomegranate seeds, and if you haven't tried them you need to rectify this asap. Pretty much sexy time in your mouth good.

    this is very boring.. but I bring in carrot sticks or nuts. there isn't really anything to get there that is any good... though our theater has coffee and tea as well now so sometimes just having a hot drink is nice :-)

    I used to get the choc covered icecream and a salty popcorn (and I used to weight almost 20kg more). One time friends and I took large meat pizzas (one each!) into a showing of Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

    There are many studies showing that people eat mindlessly at the movies, regardless of hunger or even if the food tastes any good (google Brian Wansink - Mindless Eating for an excellent example) - that and the ridiculous cost of things made me realise it was a habit worth abandoning.

    I have to admit - I like giving into mindless eating at the movies. (That's why I need a good food to manage the munchies!)

    I don't.

    I'll plan on something to eat afterwards, but for me eating at the movies ...in the dark, with a distraction...means I'm consuming food without appreciating it.

    I "must" eat something in the movie theatre.. so either I work the calories in for a small ketllecorn, or I bring a pack of chips or m&ms in there.

    Nothing. I eat before I go. We buy a kid's popcorn, candy box, and small drink for my little one. But hubby and I do not usually indulge. It's only an hour and a half, at the most 2 hours. We can wait and have something healthy when we get home.

    Usually I eat nothing when I go to the movies. Every once in a while I sneak a small bag of popcorn or frozen grapes.

    I usually have popcorn without butter and work it into my day. Like I won't have dinner.

    Popcorn is healthy.

    If I don't feel like having popcorn, I have a hotdog and again work it into my day

    If I don't feel like either of those I get chocolate covered almonds.

    Pop is always diet 0 cal if I get it because those portions are HUGE.

    I just took the kids today and I brought my own 100 calorie bag of Orville Redenbacher smart pop. Love that stuff! Oh and also 100 calorie pack of cocoa almonds. Of course I do have to try some of their popcorn tho! I also like the Fiber One brownies for a chocolate fix.

    I just left the movies and had to log my movie theater buttered popcorn and Coke soda, it was very enjoyable. There's nothing like that butter on that popcorn.

    I like popcorn no extra butter, but only the first layer. LOL The ones deeper in the bag are all broken and just popcorn crumbs. hmmm I wonder if they would sell me just like a red party cup of popcorn. LOL I am bringing a red cup next time and asking.

    My dignity, I eat my dignity. That must be what happens to it because it's gone by the time the coming attractions are over.

    I rarely get to the movies but when I do.. a heavy dose of popcorn with butter is my choice. Its a calorie killer but I work my *kitten* off 5 days a week so I figure once every couple months wont kill me.. or will it? ;)

    I can't do movie theater food...for several reasons. If I were to recommend something then, I would recommend a cup of ice.
