At the 1988 Toronto Film Festival, I saw the psychological horror movie Paperhouse. There were some truly scary scenes, and I could sense that the audience was very tense. There was a lot of gasping and flinching. I'm guessing much of the audience members were not used to watching horror movies.
I also noticed Roger Ebert was in attendance. I saw him chatting with the movie's director, Bernard Rose (who went on to direct Candyman). Ebert ended up giving Paperhouse a very positive review.

I, too, once saw a movie with Ebert in attendance. The action comedy "Bulletproof" with Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler. I liked it; he didn't.

London Film Festival in 2000 - Seeing 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon', just as word about the film was starting to spread, there was a very engaging talk with Ang Lee and James Schamus too.
Every year the London Film Festival hosts a surprise film in the line up. The quality and audience response can vary wildly. So its always a fun guessing game to go along and see what you are going to get and how the crowd will react. In 2007, it was 'No Country For Old Men'. In the introduction The festival director quipped that we would all need a strong wiskey after the screening, She certainly was not wrong. I've never witnessed an audience so completely blown away by a film, than on that night.
