Actually, yes I have.  It certainly makes coding interesting.

We actually have had a small bit of success taking him to a movie.
We went to see Monster's Inc. just before Thanksgiving.  We chose
a 1 o'clock showing (at the Wynnsong Theater, no less) and
took him with us.  He watched all the previews and then started
feeding and then went to sleep.  No trouble at all.  We figured
that movie was a good choice because it was likely to have 
a lot of kids in it anyway (although much older ones).  It turned
out that the kids there were much more noisy than my little one.
I don't think it would work very well, however, for LoTR.
