As a teen most of my summer hollidays were spent visting abuela and abuelo in spain. Cinema (double features) were around 100 Pesetas (compared to Euro, w/o inflation 50 Cents(!). As you can imagine I saw every movie (rated or not).

First time was a culture shock (compared to the mostly silent German cinema audience), as they not only clapped, they also cheered or booed at any time the hero or villain did something heroesque/villainous.

But I grew into it and am missing it really. I wish this would be a thing everywhere.

Edit: I want to add that I'm an ancient person and ask any Spaniards: Is this still a thing?

That sounds incredibly fun as long as you’re expecting it

I mean, it's just a logic thing to do. At least we all laugh together, watching a funny scene. Why limit it to this one emotion?

At least laughing is usually involuntary.

Not for the movies I've been to see here in Catalunya ... in Andalucía anything could happen!

Cinemas in Catalunya you say? That reminds me of the day in Barcelona where I went into one, not noticing it was more something like a gay porno cinema. Went there to watch Freddys Final in 3D.

Odd! I thought, when the lobby was filled with a bunch of guys, that didn't go as a group.

Sympathic spaniards! I thought as most of them started to talk to each others, while they seem they didn't know eachother.

Oh the nice spanish soul! As the bartender winked at me, as I ordered my coke, wishing me fun.

DAMN! I finally noticed where I actually was, as the persons that sat right next to me started to rub one out while Freddy was in the midst of some good old teenager killing.

And yes, I didn't notice any cheering, besides of other noises.

Yo I went to Spain for a band trip and when we performed they would applaud after for so long it was legitimately uncomfortable.
