If you were ever visibly scared during a scary movie, don't worry! It's not real, they can't actually hurt you and more importantly no one has to know you were scared. Here is the ultimate guide to maintaining your fearlessness in the face of your friends.
You have nothing to worry about (well, aside from whatever it was that scared you)! If no-one saw you, then no-one can excuse you of being a wuss. Your reputation remains intact.
This is trickier but still easy enough to get out of. First of all, after leaving the cinema do not deny you were scared! Instead, maintain you were scared and say how glad you are that you were with her. As soon as possible after this tell as many as your friends as possible that you saw this film with your girlfriend and pretended you were scared just to get sympathy. If you tell enough friends (or better yet tell them all together at once after buying them a round of drinks in the pub) you can persuade them that you're not only still amazingly fearless, but also that you're amazingly smooth with the ladies.
This is very very very hard to get around. The best thing to do is when you start to get scared, stare at your friends. They will (hopefully) be less scary, and you can find out who else is scared. Then, before anyone has a chance to say anything about you after the film, turn on them! Hopefully this will prevent any accusations coming your way.
Give up. You're a wuss and you'll never leave it down. Unless you can make sure your parents and your friends never meet you're pretty much stuffed. The second your parents do meet your friends they will tell of the time you hid behind the sofa / left the cinema in fear watching "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang".

I can't remember getting scared in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
I'm part of the new generation of sensitive males. We're allowed to get scared in films.
Last film that worried me was AI. Mainly because the remote was missing and it was stuck on AI. I nearly cried.
SNOW IS SO LOVELY!
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is scary!
