Big stupid parking lots where no one knows how to park, so you end up a good 2km away from the building, and when the movie is over, your car is sitting all alone under a burnt out parking light - making you fear for your life as you try to get to it.
The price. Just the tickets alone are pretty much the cost of what it would cost to buy the DVD - and the price of the tickets and snacks/beverages is basically the price of the collectors edition DVD version with 3 or 4 DVDs, several alternate endings, and commentaries by everyone who worked on the movie.
Why even bother going to see the movie and come out with nothing, when you could own the DVD?

People who clap at the end of a movie.
People who insist on making smart-ass remarks the whole way through and you don't even know the person.
Stinky people who sit near you.
Boxes of candy and other snacks that are designed for giants because no NORMAL person can consume that much of the item during ONE movie.
People who bring their kids to movies that aren't for kids, and then stomp out in disgust when it's not suitable for children.
Insanely annoying candy boxes that make a lot of noise but there is SO much candy in the box that it lasts the entire movie.
Having to sit right up front and getting a sore neck.
Walking into a packed theatre and having to wander around looking for a seat while everyone else tries to give you evil looks so you don't sit near them.
Having to go to the bathroom in the middle of the movie, and then trying to find your seat again.
Love scenes and other mushy moments in movies that make you want to vomit all over.

Automated ticket machines that don't work and end up spitting the wrong tickets.
Having to fart really bad during a really quiet part of a movie.
Getting a tickle in your throat just as the movie begins.
That person who always forgets to turn off their cell phone and it ends up ringing right during a good part of the movie.
