I went to the movie theater by myself. I was the only one in the whole theater for the film. 
I decided to go to the movies on my own. I saw the latest art film and had the theater all to myself.

Why did you go to the movies by yourself?
assistant
I didn't have anyone to go with during the afternoon, and I really wanted to check the film out.

That is great being so independent.
assistant
Yeah, it's similar to eating at a restaurant by yourself. It can feel a bit sad though.
