Hell, I go alone and had never even put that much thought into it.
I will admit taking my then 70 something year old mother to see "The Two Towers" and the scene where the really nasty super orc is born and my mother announcing to the whole theater "Dear god, that is UUUUUUGLLLLEEEEEEEE" was mastercard priceless though.
Lord of the rings was a special thing for us. I was reading the hobbit in third grade and had a teacher call in my mother declaring I was being "pretentious" and couldn't possibly understand the book. (now, I was reading the newspaper and comphrehending, for the most part, by 4 years old...okay??) My mother read that bitch the riot act and told her she didn't care if I came in with issues of playboy and hustler, I was to be allowed to read whatever the fuck I wanted to read. (later I was told NO, no playboy and hustler, that I knew what was acceptable, but if I wanted to read about dragons and dwarves and wierd crap, she didn't get it but that was okay, I was READING, and she was proud of me)
So taking her to see the first two movies (I wasn't there when the third came out, I'm hoping to sit her down with all three on disc and do a marathon afternoon if I ever get back to Indiana) and explaining it all was something special.
Other than that, I've always preferred to go to movies alone.
