Anybody who thinks they're f***ing clever by going "THIS MOVIE NEEDS MORE COWBELL!" and proceeding to hit a cowbell 20 or 30 times.

I don't get it as bad because i go to early showings and Kids/teens are either in Bed or at College/School.
But the time i went to see Jurassic Park III i had this guy next to me saying the name of each Dinosaur as it came on screen out loud

I hate the people who sit right next to you when you are the only two in the theatre.
Also there was a time at my local Cinema where every time some thing major happened the same asshole always would go BOOYAH!
I always thought about why this guy happened to be at all the screenings I was at.

I saw Rambo this weekend and 2 adult guys proceeded to talk as though there was no one else in the theater through the first 15 minutes of the movie. In spanish no less. I finally yelled at them to go somewhere else if they wanted to talk. Thankfully they listened.

I don't like people talking period when I'm in a movie theater. I came to see a movie, not get a running commentary on a movie. It's one thing if people whisper to each other, but loud talking and shouting is obnoxious as hell.

The only time I ever yelled for anyone to STFU was this one time I went to see Stay Alive with my sister and her BF and there were these two 13 year old annoying brats who spent the whole movie saying "sh*t" and "motherf***er" everytime anything happened(and I really mean anything, even someone drinking a freaking glass of water would get commented).
Mind the fact that I live in Portugal and neither one of those words exist in our dictionary. It was just their way of saying "Look at me, I'm a dumbass kid who wants to show everybody how vast my knowledge is when it comes to the English Language"
Also there was this one time, when I went to see "The Passion of The Christ", there was this family who decided to take their mentally changelled son (on a huge degree, not your average mentally challenged person, he was bound to a wheelchair, so that may give you an idea) to the movies. Needless to say, they stopped the screening halfway through the damn movie to escort them out, because their son just wouldn't stop screaming and calling for his parents...

I'll share the one time where I excused someone talking during the movie. We were watching "I Am Legend" (spoiler alert)...
...during the scene where Will Smith's dog ends up on the losing end of the battle, a black dude behind us says, "He be havin' the wrong kind of dog for that fight." That drew a laugh from our section.

When I saw Die Hard 4.0 last year there was this idiot kid that kept shouting "OWNED!" when John McClane killed someone.
This is the result of editing it down to a M rating (PG-13 U.S)

The people that constantly explain the movie to people loudly to people next to them...
like oh thats the bad guy!
or they took her car! it's not there any more.
it's usually an elderly lady and almost always directly behind me no matter where I am in the theater.

I remember when I went to see 'The Incredibles' there was this stereotypical nerd at the end of my row (fat, glasses, some form of patchy comic shirt) and he laughed VERY loudly at every line.
After a protracted "HUSH!" war between nerd and the normal people, it took somebody to say "SHUT UP YOU F*****G C**T!" as loud as possible to shut him up.
Oh, and I have a friend who has the loudest hacking cough in history. It's really disgusting, every 20 seconds you'll hear "BLEURGHAKAKAKA". Not fun in a cinema.

I don't like people talking period when I'm in a movie theater. I came to see a movie, not get a running commentary on a movie. It's one thing if people whisper to each other, but loud talking and shouting is obnoxious as hell. Tha's how I feel. As much as I love movies, I dread doing to the theater because I don't know what kind of crowd I'll be sitting in. Just last week I went to see No Country for Old Men and an older man was coughing, not like a normal cold cough, more like a hacking I'm about to die type cough. He did end up stepping out after a while and it was my second time seeing the movie so I didn't really mind all that much. I usually stray away from weekend showings, to avoid the teenage crowd who only go to a movie because they have nothing better to do and think it's a social hangout spot. I enjoy going to midnight shows, but you have to worry about annoying college frat guys who try to be cool. How hard is it to sit there watch the movie and shut the hell up? Even as a kid I had the proper etiquette and stayed quite. I mean I can understand whispering because I'll do it occasionally, you don't have to be loud about it, the person is right beside of you. Anyone else get annoyed when a couple brings their infant or toddler to a movie that you know will be loud enough or scary enough to make them cry for half the movie and sit there like nothing is going on? I went to see Zombie's Halloween and this couple brought their child that was maybe 3 or 4. Why would you do that to your kid? Find a smurfing babysitter!

Thankfully I've never had anyone really get loud during a movie, but I did have this one friend who when we went to go see a movie together would ALWAYS ask me questions. Like "Oh is he the bad guy?" and stuff like that. I'd just shrug and try to get her to be quiet so I can watch the movie without having to be her living breathing cliff notes.
The one thing which really sucked was I went to go watch the first Austin Powers movie, and this guy next to me was just stone faced the entire time. Like he didn't laugh or even smile. I don't know how but he managed to bring the whole thing down by his utter lack of anything.

People who LAUGH during gruesome scenes. Not because it' s bad taste (which it isn' t actually. I mean, it' s a fiction, it' s not like they laughed at someone who they just see get rolled over in the street), but because if there' s one thing I don' t need during a horror movie or a gruesome scene in any movie, it' s the cheesy laugh of random teenagers. It doesn' t exactly fit the atmosphere.
Oh and speaking of gruesome, these people (mostly female) who scream like crazy whenever something even remotely scary or creepy happens during a horror movie. IT' S A GODDAMN HORROR MOVIE ! YOU KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE BLOOD ! IF YOU CAN' T TAKE IT, THEN JUST DON' T GOT SEE THE F' N MOVIE !!!!!
The worst case I ve ever seen would be during that preview of Silent Hill I went to with a friend of mine. There was that one girl who not only screamed every time a single drop of blood was on screen, but had an incredibly high pitched voice ! Even for a girl ! So every time something bloody happened, the entire room was filled with a huge "IIIIYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEH !!!!!!!" At some point, one of her screams was so loud and high pitched that nearly everybody in the room laughed, what a perfect atmosphere for a horror movie. Look girl, it' s a freaking HORROR movie, and an horror movie called Silent Hill on top of that ! A franchise well-known for having some of the sickest and creepiest crap ever in a fiction ! So if you can' t take it, WHY ON EARTH DID YOU GO TO SEE IT ??!!! JUST FOR THE HELL OF SPOILING EVERYONE ELSE' S FUN ??!!! Good thing the movie was good, at least.
Oh and how could I forget the cellphones ? Now it' s not really "calling out," but it' s annoying as hell. First, I don' t know how it is in the U.S. but in France, before EVERY movie, not matter what kind of movie it is, there' s a message asking people to turn their cellphones off, so why do some dumbasses feel the need to keep theirs on ?? There' s always at least two people per room who do that (but often, there' s more of them). And of course, they MUST check it every 10 minutes for some random reason, creating a wave of blue light in the room (I also blame the corporations that make these phones. Why the f' do they make the phones create such a bright light ??). With a bit of luck, the phones will ring in the middle of the movie (hey mate, ever heard of "vibration mode" or even better, "mute mode" ?). And what is even more awesome is when the asshole actually ANSWERS the call. In the middle of the movie. I swear I' ve seen it. Fortunately, it hasn' t happened in a while (it' s also been forever since I' ve been at the theater, I must say), but I feel that next time it happens, I' ll snap.

when watching reveng of the sith me and my bro had the most annoyin woman behind us. Were both major geeks when it fcomes to star wars an we know quite a fair bit about background history etc, this woman behind us didnt. Anakin appears on screen "ooooh hes going to turn into darth vader" was just one of the many "highlights" she decided to inform everyone around her of, no shit sherlock. Not only was she shouting out insider info that everyone knows (really darth vader is lukes dad?!) but she also happened to get most of it wrong as well

I hate it - when you're not at a theater with stadium seating - when the guy infront of you keeps shifting from one side to another.
Its annoying because I'm at an angle that sees right through to the screen and then he shifts to his left and blocks my view so I have to reangle myself to see the screen. Some people do this all through the movie.
I know its not their fault - but I still hate it.

YOU KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE BLOOD ! IF YOU CAN' T TAKE IT, THEN JUST DON' T GOT SEE THE F' N MOVIE !!!!! I don't have a problem with that really. Isn't the whole point of a horror movie is that it scares you? That's part of the fun. I'm not gonna get mad because there are some people who can't tolerate as much as me. I love horror films and I always get a kick out of that one person (mostly female like you said) who seems to be traumatised by the film. Maybe I'm some sort of sadist? Maybe I'm some sort of sadist.

That drew a laugh from our section. In Spiderman 3, my brother said the only appropriate thing to say during a movie, when Peter accidentally knocks over Mary Jane. "HIT HER AGAIN!" Followed by clapping and laughter from at least a quarter of the theater.

A kid yelled "I DON'T GET IT" at the end of Cloverfield.
I hate kids in movie theaters.
