Two stick out.

1) Requiem for a Dream at the Cedar Lee in Cleveland. My friends came out horrified but I was exhilarated watching it.

2) Forrest Gump at Bankers Hall theatres in Calgary. Me and 2 friends snuck in. It was packed. On our way out, we saw 3 single chairs placed in the aisle. Sorry!
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.
