first: avoid more serious movie with lots of dialogue. most people will not understand what's going on or will not keep up with subtitles so they will occupy themselves in other ways. chose something easy on the eye, like james bond. forget comedies too unless we are talking slipping on a banana skin kind of movies. translation is often poor, especially when it comes to play on words or references to popular history and media. you will be the only one laughing and that may feel little awkward. or anyone else will be laughing at which point you will feel like a fool

second: avoid kids movies. they are all dubbed in spanish, you will not understand what's going on and you will not keep up with the dialogue. i know what i'm talking about. i need subtitles (in english) to watch american (in every sense of the word) cartoons. everyone speaks way too fast, babbles, uses kid vocabulary or slang and i easily get lost. in addition there will be shrieking, shouting and laughing drowning all that you can understand in a stream of constant high pitched noise.

third: bring your winter coat, socks, woolly hat and gloves. it will be so cold you'll start losing feeling in your extremities within minutes. explains mess in dominican cinemas, people simply lose their grip on pieces of stone cold popcorn and start dropping things. and they will not notice since by 10 minute mark their brain is already pumping blood to most important internal organs like lungs (which can be heard) and hearts, leaving you feeling dizzy and confused. if you happen to be foolish enough to go and see one of them half a day long indie cinema reels you are sure to suffer severe frostbite and you are facing amputation.
