A friend invited me to a movie night. But instead of telling me which movie we are going to watch, she just gave me a bunch of movie tickets:
Can you tell me which movie we will watch?
Hint 1:
The searched movie title is not on one of the tickets.
Hint 2:
The shown arrangement of the tickets is random and irrelevant to the solution. However, you have to bring the tickets in a certain order.

There's no comments on any of the answers indicating if any reasoning is close or correct. How about a hint? :)

@m1gp0z I added two hints. They might be already obvious, but I don't want to hint to much. There is not so much missing to the solution. Someone just needs to have the right idea and I don't know how to hint it without giving it away.

@formica may be the answer is "Searching" as your hint 1 "The searched movie title is not on one of the tickets." so its obvious movie name is "Searching"

Partial answer:
Plotting the clocks on a seating plan map puts them in a trail but I can't make out any more than that yet: http://jsfiddle.net/7tdhvysu/5/
EDIT 1: The first one is on row 3 and points to the 1, the second is on row 4 and also points to the 1, and the next one down points to the 5. These are the starting numbers for pi:3.1415...
, which points toThe Life of Pi
EDIT 2: Reversing the order of the rows doesn't help: http://jsfiddle.net/8rbd5pv9/
EDIT 3: There are a number of them with the same minutes right next to each other, in fact there are 6 "pairs" of same minute hands next to each other - perhaps relevant? One of those pairs contains "12" minutes, which is abnormal to the others which are all multiples of 5.
EDIT 4: Based upon the two hints, it would appear that the film title relates to a number. Clockwork Orange also screams out at this point so I wonder if somehow the numbers of the times are able to be formed to produce the hex code for Orange?
The trail order is the same order that you use to pluck off the first letters of the titles to get the message @generalcrispy pointed out. I'm wondering if the hands pointing would make more sense in a "times point to it" if in your chart you had the lower numbered rows at the bottom instead of starting them at the top

This occurrence of pi is mere coincidence, but interesting find! Ordering the clocks by the seat numbers is the right way. You need to find a way to use the information of the clocks together with that order.

Potential partial answer building on generalcrispy's partial answer:
I tried drawing the times for an analog clock and noticed that the hour arms usually point more or less directly at another clock (Except those that point out of the image), but i have not been able to establish any kind of pattern, but thought this might save others some time or give them ideas. Maybe they need to be rearranged?
The minute arms doesn't seem to point at anything in this configuration

The first and last ones are off. (18:25 is shown as 18:45 and 18:40 is shown as 20:40). Kudos, though on "newspaperman" going all analog! :)
– Chowzen
Nov 14 at 12:14
Hm, I thought this might be something in flag semaphore, but some of the times don't map well onto any letter, and the ones that do don't seem to be spelling anything.
– Nuclear Wang
Nov 14 at 13:52
The OP didn't mention that the tickets were laid out on a board. Can we be sure that the ticket arrangement is relevant?
– Strawberry
Nov 14 at 15:55
"Going analog" is indeed the right way, but as @Strawberry suspected, the arrangement on the picture is irrelevant (see new hint). Find another order!

Building off @generalcrispy's answer (you were SO close if I'm right):
"THE TIMES WILL POINT TO IT." (Emphasis added)
So the movie you'll be watching is:
IT (Scary!)
Seems odd to have a hidden message referencing the times if they're actually irrelevant.

You're going to watch:
Titanic
Because
Graph the seats, they form a continuous line of an object. Rotate that object (i.e. assume the first and last points are at the same level) and it's an iceberg.

I think it is
La La Land
because
The seat and row numbers add to 15, the exact start time of the movie. None of the other tickets' seat/row numbers add up in this way.

You are going to watch the classic:
Hot Shots
because
there are 2 sets of times that are duplicates:
12:05 and 12:30
these are:
The Third Man,
Harold and Maude,
Over the hedge,
Shutter Island,
Which is formed by
Taking the 1st letter of each movie (SHOT) and using each letter twice, getting HOTSHOTS

There's also Toy Story 2 and Edward Scissorhands (18:25).

I have tried my best to evaluate each ticket on similarity basis bcos two ticket are required to watch the movie.But no similarity is found as far as row & seat no is concerned. Only similarity is found in timing of movies. So on the similarity of timing I can conclude that they will go one of
following movies
1 Edward Scissors Hands timing 18.25
2 Toy Story 2 timing 18.25
Moreover there seats are in line one behind other.

Judging by the answers and hints provided thus far, I suspect the plot of the film heavily involves Time Travel
Since some movie times happen concurrently, I imagine there are different versions of characters experiencing events from different viewpoints.
The best movie example for something like this is
Predestination
Which may fit the bill as one of the hints mention that the movie title is not on one of the tickets.

I thought you were going to watch
A Streetcar Named Desire
but I can't quite make that fit.
Of course, you might just be heading out to watch:
Enigma (by which of course I mean The Imitation Game)
Can you give any kind of reasoning for this answer? Whether you're right or wrong, it will help others, reading this, later.

Not sure if it matters or not, but I think you might have La La Land and Life of Pi reversed.

Your approach is right, but you still need to find a way to use the information of the clocks.

Potential partial answer building on generalcrispy's partial answer:
I tried drawing the times for an analog clock and noticed that the hour arms usually point more or less directly at another clock (Except those that point out of the image), but i have not been able to establish any kind of pattern, but thought this might save others some time or give them ideas. Maybe they need to be rearranged?
The minute arms doesn't seem to point at anything in this configuration

The first and last ones are off. (18:25 is shown as 18:45 and 18:40 is shown as 20:40). Kudos, though on "newspaperman" going all analog! :)

Hm, I thought this might be something in flag semaphore, but some of the times don't map well onto any letter, and the ones that do don't seem to be spelling anything.

The OP didn't mention that the tickets were laid out on a board. Can we be sure that the ticket arrangement is relevant?

"Going analog" is indeed the right way, but as @Strawberry suspected, the arrangement on the picture is irrelevant (see new hint). Find another order!

Building off @generalcrispy's answer (you were SO close if I'm right):
"THE TIMES WILL POINT TO IT." (Emphasis added)
So the movie you'll be watching is:

Seems odd to have a hidden message referencing the times if they're actually irrelevant.

You're going to watch:
Titanic
Because
Graph the seats, they form a continuous line of an object. Rotate that object (i.e. assume the first and last points are at the same level) and it's an iceberg.

I think it is
La La Land
because
The seat and row numbers add to 15, the exact start time of the movie. None of the other tickets' seat/row numbers add up in this way.

You are going to watch the classic:
Hot Shots
because
there are 2 sets of times that are duplicates:
12:05 and 12:30
these are:
The Third Man,
Harold and Maude,
Over the hedge,
Shutter Island,
Which is formed by
Taking the 1st letter of each movie (SHOT) and using each letter twice, getting HOTSHOTS

There's also Toy Story 2 and Edward Scissorhands (18:25).

I have tried my best to evaluate each ticket on similarity basis bcos two ticket are required to watch the movie.But no similarity is found as far as row & seat no is concerned. Only similarity is found in timing of movies. So on the similarity of timing I can conclude that they will go one of
following movies
1 Edward Scissors Hands timing 18.25
2 Toy Story 2 timing 18.25
Moreover there seats are in line one behind other.

Judging by the answers and hints provided thus far, I suspect the plot of the film heavily involves Time Travel
Since some movie times happen concurrently, I imagine there are different versions of characters experiencing events from different viewpoints.
The best movie example for something like this is
Predestination
Which may fit the bill as one of the hints mention that the movie title is not on one of the tickets.

I thought you were going to watch
A Streetcar Named Desire
but I can't quite make that fit.
Of course, you might just be heading out to watch:
Enigma (by which of course I mean The Imitation Game)
Can you give any kind of reasoning for this answer? Whether you're right or wrong, it will help others, reading this, later.

Thank you for your interest in this question.
Because it has attracted low-quality or spam answers that had to be removed, posting an answer now requires 10 reputation on this site (the association bonus does not count).
Would you like to answer one of these unanswered questions instead?

There's no comments on any of the answers indicating if any reasoning is close or correct. How about a hint? :)

Nov 15 at 17:36
@m1gp0z I added two hints. They might be already obvious, but I don't want to hint to much. There is not so much missing to the solution. Someone just needs to have the right idea and I don't know how to hint it without giving it away.

@formica may be the answer is "Searching" as your hint 1 "The searched movie title is not on one of the tickets." so its obvious movie name is "Searching"
