Actually, I like both. Watching a movie alone allows me to immerse myself in the emotions and plots of the film, and I can focus completely on it without distraction. However, watching with friends is also very interesting because we can share our reactions and discuss the movie afterward, giving me more perspectives on it. It depends on the mood and the movie.
