When I go to the movies (or anywhere that requires your group to sit in one row) with two or more people I try to create what I like to call "Relationship Chains." In short, it means that everyone is sitting next to a person that they know well. Say you go to the movies with your sister and her boyfriend. Naturally, your sister sits between you and her boyfriend. It's really quite simple.
Now here's a harder example.
Say I (Brian) go to a movie with four friends (Jim, Bob, Ned, and Dan). Now if every one of us is good friends with each of the other four, then this is no problem.
But say I'm only friends with Dan. Jim and Bob are brothers. I don't know Bob at all but Dan and Jim were in Webelos together and they go way back. Ned came with Jim and Bob. Bob met Ned in jail and Jim doesn't like Ned but he's Bob's only friend so he puts up with him.
What?
Oh, the order would go ME, DAN, JIM, BOB, NED. Get it? I didn't think so.
It sounds weird, but think about it this way: If everyone followed my logic, no one would ever have to sit more than 5 seats away from Kevin Bacon.
